a yummy candy of the same family as the skor bar. However, in the heath bar, the toffee layer is much thicker, leaving no doubts as to this is a toffee bar in chocolate, it takes a good bite to break through. The flavor is as any good toffee, slightly caramel, slightly nutty, slightly warm somehow, and mostly impossible to describe. The standard bar comes with two pieces nestled in a cardboard tray in a brown, gold, and orange wrapper. Not as common as most candy bars, gas stations and convenience stores often carry them, but they're not a common find in vending machines.

statistics taken from the heath wrapper on my desk which outlived the candy just long enough to be noded.
