About Twix fun size
Twix Fun Size is a smaller version of the popular Twix candy bar, which originated in the United Kingdom in 1967 under the name 'Raider.' It is now widely enjoyed in various countries. Twix combines milk chocolate, caramel, and a crisp biscuit base, making it a rich, indulgent snack. Each fun-sized piece offers convenience for portion control, containing approximately 80 calories per serving.
