It appears that 'Tayto' which is one of Ireland's leading crisp manufacturers have set tongues wagging over the past few days, with their latest product. The creation is a chocolate bar containing cheese and onion crisps. (Picture above taken from Google Images/beaut.ie)
For years there has been an age old dilemma of chocolate or crisps. Well now thanks to 'Tayto's' latest creation you can have both. Although many individuals think the idea of having crisps in a chocolate bar is ludicrous, it appears the bar was created due to popular demand from the public via social networking sites such as facebook and twitter.
To make the bar, the company have teamed up with Butlers, one of Ireland's most famous chocolatiers. The bar will be available in Tayto park and throughout supermarkets nationwide. As the bar is a limited edition with the company only producing one hundred thousand bars, it has sparked a rather crazy response similar to that of the 'golden ticket' in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with individuals itching to get their hands on a bar.
As of yet I have not had the opportunity to try one of these popular bars so I decided to put the chocolate and crisp combination to the test myself. Using original cheese and onion 'Tayto' crisps and Cadbury Bournville chocolate, I created chocolate covered crisps. They were very unusual but at the same time aesthetically appealing and delicious, although I enjoyed them I think they were more of a novelty than a necessity.
Now that I have tasted the chocolate and crisp combination I will remain opened minded on the 'Tayto' chocolate bar until I have tasted it and like everyone else I am itching to taste it. Whether the bar will be a success is impossible to tell at such an early stage however the bar could prove to be so popular that it may become a permanent fixture on our supermarket shelves, only time will tell.
So for now the big question remains chocolate, crisps or both?
Best Wishes,
