The aisles of B&M stores are buzzing with excitement as chocolate lovers everywhere rejoice over the arrival of Snickers and Twix iced coffees. These new beverages, crafted in collaboration with Victor Allen’s Coffee, are available for £2.50 each, promising a sweet and refreshing treat in a 405ml bottle. Following the successful launch of Mars and Galaxy iced coffees last year, these latest additions have generated a wave of anticipation and chatter on social media.
On Facebook’s New Foods UK page, images of the Snickers and Twix iced coffees have sparked a flurry of comments, with some shoppers already indulging in the new flavors. “Had the Snickers one today and it is really nice,” one satisfied customer shared. “Oh wow and I’m going there today,” another user enthusiastically chimed in. A third person added, “The Twix ones lovely. Very sweet but I do have a sweet tooth.” A fourth remarked, “They are decent sized bottles, bigger than the Costa ones. I tried the Snickers it was really nice icy cold.”
However, not all shoppers are singing the praises of these new iced coffee concoctions. Some have voiced concerns about the size and taste, expressing a sense of disappointment. “They are tiny bottles, they are okay drinks, nothing earth shattering though,” one user commented. Another shopper, sharing their experience, wrote, “These are absolutely vile, I tried them this weekend.” A third person declared, “Awful! Doesn’t taste like coffee or snickers, terrible after taste of artificial sweetener. Waste of £2.50.” A fourth customer echoed this sentiment, stating, “Definitely not worth £2.50. Taste nothing like they are advertised.” And a fifth shopper shared their initial impressions: “Saw these earlier, first time seeing this post just now though. Didn’t buy though, they sounded so sickly and gross so I just stayed clear.”
Despite the mixed feedback, Victor Allen’s Coffee proudly boasts the quality of their new creations. The Snickers iced coffee, they claim, is “made with real cream and sugar to provide the best taste possible!” The brand emphasizes the delightful blend of “flavors of chocolate, caramel, and roasted peanut with a hint of sweet and salty goodness.”
For those seeking a similar indulgence with a twist, the Twix iced coffee promises a “rich, creamy, and smooth taste of chocolate, caramel, and cookie with a hint of vanilla.” Victor Allen’s further entices coffee lovers, describing it as “a delectable ready-to-drink iced coffee made with real milk and cream for the perfect blend of coffee and flavor!” Whether enjoyed chilled or poured over ice, the brand assures consumers, “It’s your pick for a delightful morning or afternoon indulgence.” The use of premium Arabica beans, they assure, ensures a “superior coffee taste that lingers.”
While some Facebook critics have voiced concerns about the taste, it’s worth noting that each bottle of the Snickers and Twix iced coffees contains only 220 calories. The nutritional information reveals a modest 2.5g of fat and a sugar content of 40g.
Ultimately, whether you’re a die-hard Snickers or Twix fan or simply seeking a refreshing iced coffee treat, the new B&M offerings provide an opportunity to indulge in a sweet and creamy beverage. However, with mixed reviews surfacing, it’s wise to approach these new additions with a touch of caution and perhaps a peek at the nutritional information before indulging.
