Nestle Tex 58g

Nestlé Tex

Nestlé Tex is a South African chocolate bar that is all about texture. Inside you get crisp wafer with a light aerated chocolate center, all covered in smooth milk chocolate. That combination gives Tex its familiar crunch without making the bar feel too heavy. The wafer makes up 19% of the bar, while ingredients include cane sugar, wheat flour, full cream milk powder, cocoa mass, cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Bite through the chocolate coating and you get the crunch of wafer followed by that lighter chocolate center. It is a combination South Africans have known for decades, and the bright yellow wrapper is pretty hard to miss. The 58g size gives you a little more to work through than a small snack bar, which is useful when one quick bite is not quite going to do the job. Have it with coffee, pack it for work, or keep one around for the afternoon chocolate emergency. We all know those happen.

Tex has been sold in South Africa since the 1950s and remains one of those familiar chocolates that can bring back memories before you have even opened the wrapper. The mix of crisp wafer, aerated center and milk chocolate makes it different from a solid chocolate bar, with plenty happening in every bite. It is easy to eat straight from the wrapper, but you can also break it into pieces and add it to an ice cream bowl or dessert plate. The 58g bar is individually wrapped, so it travels easily in a lunchbox, handbag or road trip snack bag. Just remember that Texas heat and chocolate are not close friends, so keep it somewhere cool. Whether you grew up eating Tex or you are trying one for the first time, this is straightforward South African chocolate snacking. Crisp wafer, light chocolate inside, creamy chocolate outside. Job done.
