Our Review Factors
What are we looking for? Our review process involves a close examination of the taste, texture, ingredients, and nutrition label.
These parameters guided our review of Twiddles by Yuvraj Singh:
1. Flavor
We put this product to the taste test, focusing on several key aspects like freshness and flavor. Was the sweetness, achieved without refined sugar, balanced and satisfying? Were there any artificial or unpleasant aftertaste? Finally, we explored how the cocoa and millet blend (ragi, jowar, and bajra) contributed to the overall flavor profile.
2. Texture
The fibrous nature of dates contributes a chewy texture, while nuts add a satisfying crunch. These two specific ingredients significantly impact the final texture. A date-heavy bar with few nuts will differ greatly from a date-nut-grain bar.
Is the texture too dry, oily, or chewy, or does it hit the perfect balance?
3. Nutri-Label: Ingredients + Nutrition Label
The nutrition label provides important information regarding the snack’s health quotient. We thoroughly examined the nutritional information including the calorie count, sugar levels, fat content, protein, fiber, and vitamins or minerals.
We also examined whether the ingredient list is thorough and specifies the exact proportions of the ingredients used. We checked for sources of fat, sugar, and more.
4. Additional Parameters
Beyond the above primary factors, we have also noted information like price, packaging, and shelf life.

1. Twiddles by Yuvraj Singh – Orange Noir Cocoa Bites
Product Highlights
The Orange Noir Cocoa Bites cost ₹270 for a pack of six (₹45 per bite). They have a six-month shelf life and come in an orange and purple box.
Each of the six individually wrapped bites is placed in a tray, making them convenient for on-the-go snacking.
Key Ingredients
- Dates, Millet (Bajra, Ragi, Jowar), Almond, Cashew, Peanuts, FOS (Prebiotic dirty fiber), Almond butter, Cocoa powder, Honey, Ghee, Dried cranberry, Sunflower oil, NI Flavor (Orange and vanilla), and Salt.
Review Analysis
This is a small, dark brown cube with visible bits of nuts and cranberries. These snack bites have a strong orange flavor and aroma. The flavoring is a bit overpowering and it takes away focus from the other ingredients.
The almonds are fresh and well-roasted, offering a pleasant crunch. The artificial-tasting orange flavor is a significant letdown and detracts from the overall experience.
This flavor profile and nutri-label are both average, making it something passable.
2. Twiddles by Yuvraj Singh – Nuts and Dates Bites
Product Highlights
The Twiddles Nuts and Dates Bites are priced at ₹270 for a pack of six, which breaks down to ₹45 per bite. The bars have a shelf life of six months. The packaging consists of a green and purple box. On the inside, each of the six bites is nestled in its tray.
The bars are wrapped individually which makes them easy to carry and travel-friendly.
Key Ingredients
- Dates, Millet (Bajra, Ragi, Jowar), Almond, Cashew, FOS (Prebiotic dietary fiber), Almond butter, Skimmed milk powder, Honey, Ghee, Dried cranberry, Dried black currant, Sunflower oil, NI flavor (Vanilla), and Salt.
Review Analysis
The Nuts and Dates Bites showcase a slightly better flavor compared to the Orange Noir Cocoa Bites. This is primarily because the artificial flavoring is not as overpowering. Having said that, these are also not exceptionally great tasting. We have had better options that feature a cleaner, more natural ingredient list and a better nutritional profile. The sweetness level is slightly higher than usual for some team members. This is an average-tasting nut and date bar with lots of room for improvement.
