Had coffee crisp when I was in Canada and loved them, coffee and chocolate is one of my favourite food pairings.

Never heard of a Coffee crisp before now but would absolutely love to try one! Sounds great.
Big fan of custard and rice pudding but good grief, not an ounce of flavour on those shelves is there.
