Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Mar 18, 2016 2:45 PM UTC  Mars  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Mar 18, 2016 2:45 PM UTC The U.K. division of the chocolate maker Mars recently started selling a Twix spread, arguably as a more discrete, socially-acceptable way to eat the candy bars for breakfast — or in a sandwich for lunch. Or anytime, really. A news release describes the £2 ($2.90) item now in Asda supermarkets as a “delicious chocolate and caramel spread with crunchy biscuit pieces” that can be “spread over warm toast or a crumpet, dunked with a breadstick, or topped on a cake or waffle.” In recent years, Hershey’s has also released a line of spreads inspired by its chocolate bars and Reese’s peanut butter cups. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4264092/twix-spread-now-exists/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4264092/twix-spread-now-exists/"},"headline":"Twix Spread Now Exists","datePublished":"2016-03-18T14:45:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:00.268Z","description":"Sweet?","url":"https://time.com/4264092/twix-spread-now-exists/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdaba40dadad7460a/69888b948e06012dec46513d/twix-spread.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
