Bon Appétit’s resident pastry chef Claire recently tried to make a gourmet version of Snickers chocolate bar and did an awesome job at it. This encouraged her to try to do the same with Twix, which is another iconic Mars’ chocolate bar.

Twix originated in the United Kingdom in the late ’60s and was introduced in the U.S. in 1979. This candy bar consists out of cookie which is topped with caramel and then coated with chocolate. It may seem like a simple combination, but it is highly effective and adored by candy lovers around the world.

In her attempt to make an already great candy even better, Claire decided to keep the original elements of the Twix (cookie, caramel, and chocolate) and just make them fancier. For cookie, she used shortbread while the caramel was made following the recipe for salted caramel chocolate tart. Finally, she used Temper chocolate for the cover.

Curious how Claire’s gourmet Twix turned out? Want to try and make them yourself? Then watch the video below.

Despite all the food that is available to us in the real world, most of us are curious how fictional food from movies, cartoons, or video games tastes like. With this in mind, food magazine Bon Appétit decided to have a professional chef recreate some iconic food from video games and have kids try it and give their opinion on it.

Kids ended up getting a chance to enjoy mushrooms from Super Mario Bros, power pellets from Pac-Man, shield potions from Fortnite, carrots from Minecraft, irradiated mac and cheese from Fallout, and much more, while probably making gamers all around jealous.

If you are curious how famous food from video games looks and tastes like in real life, watch the video below.

The YouTube channel of popular food magazine Bon Appétit recently presented a new episode of their ‘Kids Try’ serial, in which they have present kids with foods from different periods in history or different cultures and show their reactions.

This time, they had an opportunity to taste the way school lunches evolved in the last 100 years.

As expected, the kids were not big fans of school lunch from the 1910s which involved pea soup and rice or the one with boiled beef and creamed spinach from 1930s. On the other hand, 1960s version of school lunch with eggs, orange juice, and bananas got a much more positive reaction as well as 1980s meal which was the favorite because it involved pizza, chicken nuggets, and Capri Sun.

You can check out how school lunches looked like in the last 100 years and how today’s kids react to them in the video below.
