Twixes are biscuits. The other two are chocolate confections.

I agree!! Its right up there in the chocolate bar category, along with KitKats!

Also including Marathons (Snickers), Bounties, Double Deckers, Aeros and Fudge Bars! (a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat )

Biscuit. A chocolate bar is chocolate with or without a non biscuit filling.

Hmmmm - but is a wafer considered a biscuit??

Biscuits.... wafers.... I do believe they differ even more than cookies and biscuits!

Yes, wafer is a biscuit it is not anything else.

OK - technically, you are correct.... but a KitKat is still a chocolate bar :lol:

A chocolate coated biscuit bar.

A chocolate coated biscuit bar.

Then you are lucky - the Chocolate Bar Fairy has waved her magic wand over your snack . . .

I know of a few that have had solid kitkats, I have bought a lot in my time though, kitakats are my favourite chocolate bar after toffee crisps.

100% a BISCUIT other biscuits completely covered in chocolate include

breakaway
blue ribbon
penguin
cadbury fingers
club

this is a subject quite close to my heart and quite frankly I am appalled at the suggestion something quite so obviously a choccie biscuit is being referred to as a chocolate bar chocolate bars include things like cadburys milk chocolate, galaxy milk chocolate and even milky bar these should be solid chocolate occasionally featuring small bits of sweets for a fun twist on a classic
things featuring chocolate that would be under "sweets" would be the crunchy, the milky way and anything else with a sweet filling and coat of chocolate
the chocolate biscuit is something mostly containing biscuit or wafer with a coating of chocolate covering it completely such as the examples above
a plain biscuit is something the either has no chocolate coating or even just the top coated these all find their way into the plain biscuit tin - although it is acceptable to refer to them as chocolate biscuits as well these inbetween biscuits include things like digestives

 

[Happy Paws2]

definitely a chocolate covered biscuit.

Biscuit. A chocolate bar is chocolate with or without a non biscuit filling.

Thank you my little flappy avian amigo!

The pertinent words are "non-biscuit filling". The minute the filling becomes significantly biscuit, so does the treat.

In fact kit-kats don't have a filling, they have a covering (as do Twixes). They are biscuits encased in (or covered with, depending on whether you have a left or right twix) chocolate.

They are not chocolate with bits in it.

Other than Aeros, none of these can be described as "chocolate bars" - they are confectionary. (A subtle and pedantic difference resorted to only by scientists, newsagents and people arguing on this forum.)

Biscuits.... wafers.... I do believe they differ even more than cookies and biscuits!

Both cookies and wafers are subsets of biscuits. The term "wafer biscuit" isn't bandied about lightly you know.

 

[lostbear]

Or a chocolate bar?- for short..... :lol:

But they aren't short. They are LONG.

(And "biscuit" is even shorter - two syllables as opposed to four)

 

[Lurcherlad]

Definitely a biscuit.

As such, I can convince myself that it is a valid snack in an emergency - as opposed to a bar of chocolate - which is a sweet, and therefore not really allowed

 

[lostbear]

There is something seriously wrong with you Polski. Toffee crisps are confectionary - though admittedly a closer relative of the chocolate bar than of the biscuit, they remain unrelated to the noble kit-kat, Queen of Biscuits.

I might add that the King of Biscuits is the Viscount (despite its lower-down-the-nobility-ladder name.

If I were you, I would see a doctor about this tendency to mis-label snack treat. Or why not have a break - have a kit-kat?

Thank you Roses for your comprehensive and thoroughly researched comments. This is a project which is obviously your passion and your unselfish determination to find the truth (even at the cost of your own precious health - how many arteries must you have clogged in your research, lots of them your own I expect?).

I think you have provided the definitive description.

I decided to go to the omnipotent Wikipedia, which states that a Kit Kat is (and I quote) 'a chocolate covered wafer biscuit bar confection'. Interpret that as you will!!!
