Nestlé Coffee Crisp

Not many Canadian bars are bigged up quite as much as this one. This is a huge, yet light, chocolate, wafer and coffee flavoured bar.
Or at least that’s the idea anyway. The wrapper looks like it’s about 50 years old, with a plain yellow theme and lack of any sort of graphic. There’s very little blurb either, just the words “makes a nice light snack”. I’ll admit it’s light, but as for nice, well…
They call it a Coffee Crisp, but…where’s the coffee? In fact…where’s the chocolate!? All I can taste is wafer, there’s way too much of it! The wafer is far too thick, the chocolate coating is far too thin, and there’s no coffee there at all! It’s literally just the taste of wafer, ugh…
The ingredients make for unpleasant reading - Sugar, Wheat Flour, Modified Palm and Vegetable Oils, and the list goes on, with chocolate being halfway down the list, and coffee just slightly off the bottom.
Quite pathetic really, an extremely poor bar in every way possible. Canada can keep it, I’d rather take good quality coffee bars with dark chocolate anyday.

Back in the late 1950’s we use to travel up to Canada on Fishing trips and my Dad who had a King Size Sweet Tooth and love good chocolate would stop at a store once we crossed the border so we could stock up on Canadian made candy bars and beer, my favorite candy was a milk chocolate bar by the name of Nelson’s and a chocolate covered cherry that came in a box and and believe it or not was the size of a tennis ball, if I remember rite it was called a Cherry Blossom.
