Other than Curly Wurlies (not as good), the closest thing there is eating a Marathon bar is eating the caramel layer off of a regular Twix Bar, which I often do, before crunching the cookie layer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066734777669461689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966236098248467255.post-68121084722328837472018-12-25T08:26:21.334-06:002018-12-25T08:26:21.334-06:00Nice and helpful information provided by you.

It was awesome yes the chocolate would break but is was 8" long and longer if you stretched the Carmel goodness. I love this candy bar was upset when they quit making them and started stocking the shelf with whatchamcalits instead. They are good to but no where near as satisfying as a marathon bar.

What's not to love 12 inches of caramel covered in chocolate! One of the best never should've been stopped. Lighter than a Caramel Milky Way, hit the spot perfect.

It was messy because the chocolate covering broke off and fell on you, and then there you were .... forever chewing on caramel. Chewing and chewing and chewing ... 10 minutes you are still on that first bite! Annoying stupid candy! Like a frustrating game I rage quit it and threw it in the trash before finishing it! I had only done that with coconut before.<br />Redonculous caramel thing >.<Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316664491601489621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966236098248467255.post-6269079217416812402015-11-08T10:07:50.656-06:002015-11-08T10:07:50.656-06:00I just want the damn candy bar!!!I just want the damn candy bar!!!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815951175919896565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966236098248467255.post-55193515516616064712015-01-19T17:35:49.417-06:002015-01-19T17:35:49.417-06:00Another candy delight from my tweenhood.

The Marathon bars were messy as the chocolate came off in chunks as you bit into the bar, the Curly Wurly bars have overcome that flaw.
