Twix Spread Is the Snack You Didn’t Know You Were Missing

Move over, Nutella. Step aside, apple and pumpkin butter. There’s a new kid on the block and it’s about to up your snack game in a major way. Mars, the confectioner behind Snickers, M&M’s, Skittles, and more, has created something truly special for your munching pleasure.

If you’re a megafan of Twix candy bars (who isn’t?), you’re in for a real treat. But even if you aren’t, it can’t hurt to try, especially when it looks as delectable as this. Ladies and gents, Twix is available in spread form. It first came about in the UK back in 2016 and has quietly made its way into the US. The tasty spread is made just like the candy, with a perfect mix of chocolate and gooey caramel. It even has biscuit pieces so you don’t have to miss out on that iconic crunch.

The hardest part of eating it will be deciding how to do so. We recommend putting it on a biscuit, bagel, or toast, dipping fruit in it, smothering graham crackers with it, or eating it straight from the jar. If you’re feeling extra brave — or just extra — you could even dip a Twix bar (or five) into it. If all this news is making you hungry then feel free to pick up Mars Twix Spread ($5) at World Market or snag it from Amazon for a few bucks more.

Scroll on to discover the $13 Costco treat that will definitely sweeten up your Valentine’s Day!

Reddit

Costco is selling the most magnificent macarons right now, but they’re not just any macarons. The Le Chic Heart Macarons are adorably heart-shaped, just in time for V-Day!

@lechicpatissier

The Le Chic Heart Macarons are a "romantic twist on the classic French dessert” and the ultimate bougie addition to your Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day plans. One box comes with 25 macarons total – half are flavored with vanilla, while the other half boasts a tart raspberry taste.

@costcosisters

Per Le Chic, the Heart Macarons are made with two “gourmet” almond biscuits and a “creamy” ganache. They’re also made with cage-free eggs and are gluten-free. They look perfectly plump yet airy, which is exactly what I’m craving right now!

Nuovo Pasta

The new heart-shaped macarons are the latest goodie to join Costco’s Valentine’s lineup, including the famed heart-shaped ravioli. Sounds like I’m gonna have to make a Costco run very soon.

Reddit

The Le Chic Heart Macarons are on shelves now for $12.99 a box. That puts each macaron under $2, which is a total steal for such a tasteful treat.

Perfect for bringing to a Galentine’s potluck or ending a nice, home-cooked dinner with your boo, these new Trader Joe’s Valentine’s Day finds are simply begging to be added to your cart, no matter how you’re celebrating this year.

Trader Joe's

Dark Chocolate & Almond Cookie Tiles

Anything that involves chocolate and cookies is always gonna be a good bet for Valentine's Day. These TJ's cookie tiles feature a "crunchy, almost caramelized" texture and a sweet, but salty flavor.

Trader Joe's

Sugar Cookie Dough Hearts

Oh, yes! These bake-and-eat cookies with pink hearts on 'em are an immediate 'add to cart.'

Trader Joe's

Strawberry Mini Hold The Cone!

With a rich strawberry ice cream filling and a magnificent chocolate layer, these tiny cones taste just like chocolate-covered strawberries – without all the work of actually having to make them.

Trader Joe's

Portuguese Donuts

When you can get flaky, fluffy donuts filled with a "captivatingly creamy and remarkably rich" chocolate-hazelnut filling in one simple grocery run, you don't pass them up. Especially when they're a perfect fit for this year's V-Day dessert lineup.

Trader Joe's

Dark Chocolate Covered Bon Bon Cookies

This gorgeous box of dark chocolate-covered cookies will make an excellent gift for your Valentine alongside some fresh TJ's flowers and a bottle of wine. Thank me later!

Trader Joe's

Sugared Rice Cracker Hearts

Equal parts sweet and savory, these Thai-inspired bites are first dipped in light layers of soy sauce and honey, then sprinkled with coarse sugar crystals that make them entirely too addictive. Plus, they're adorably heart-shaped!

Trader Joe's

Valentine Sprinkle

I stocked up with literally 3 bags of these sprinkles last year because they're so cute. I'm elated to see they've returned for V-Day this year, too! Use this medley of heart-shaped sprinks to top cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and more with Valentine's flair.

Trader Joe's

Dark Chocolate Caramel Hearts

Filled with 'chewy, buttery-sweet caramel," these candies come in the perfect personal size so you can tack a package onto Valentine's Day cards with ease.

Trader Joe's

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Lover's Nut Mix

Trail mix can be real boring, but once you spice it up with plenty of sweetness (AKA chocolate), it gets way better. This choc-packed bag features almonds, cashews, cocoa-dusted almonds, mini peanut butter cups, pretzel sticks, and tiny chocolate chip cookies. I fear I'd eat the whole bag myself!

Trader Joe's

Chocolate Cheesecake Bites

More chocolate goodness is coming your way – in the form of these lush cheesecake bites that'll store so well in the freezer until it's time to bust 'em out after your extravagant Valentine's Day dinner.

Trader Joe's

Sprinkle Cake Bites

These joy-inspiring cake bites are undeniably "rich and moist," and their small size definitely calls for a snack sesh any time during the V-Day season. Breakfast, post-lunch, or for a late-night snack, you're gonna love them no matter what.

Trader Joe's

Chocolate Berry Lip Mask Duo

This last (and limited!) TJ's Valentine's Day product is surprisingly not centered around food. Instead, behold their "extra-moisturizing" lip masks! This duo comes with one Chocolate and one Berry scent that work great on their own, but even more wonderfully together.

The 97th Academy Award nominations are here! And they have plenty of surprises. In addition to some incredible nominations, like A Real Pain for Original Screenplay, Wicked for Best Picture, and Anora's Mikey Madison for Best Actress, there were some serious snubs. Because what do you mean Challengers didn't get nominated for ANYTHING?! Considering it won Best Score at the Golden Globes, I'd have thought it had that nomination secured, but the Academy had other plans. We'll have to tune in to ABC and Hulu on March 2, 2025 to see how it all plays out, but until then, you can read up on your favorite movies' nominations below.

Here's the full list of 2025 Oscar nominations.

The Craziest 2025 Oscar nomination snubs.

Amazon MGM Studios

I really can't believe Zendaya didn't get nominated for her performance in Challengers. Her viral "crazy eyes" scene generated enough conversation to give her a nom in my opinion. I remember sitting in the theater and thinking, Wow, I've never seen her make that face before, can we replay that? And, of course, I'm mourning the fact the movie didn't get nominated for Best Score. "Match Point" playing during the ending of the movie will always be an Oscar-winning moment to me!

But in addition to Z, Selena Gomez also didn't get nominated for her role as Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Pérez, despite the fact the movie got a total of 13 nominations.

My group chat immediately blew up when we realized Sing Sing wasn't nominated for Best Picture.
