A Twirl is a snack consisting of two Flake-style chocolate fingers with a smooth chocolate coating. Recently Cadbury's Twirl bars have been reported to be getting smaller, being reduced in size by roughly 25%. In January 2007 the packaging of the Twirl bar was amended to incorporate the new slogan - "The Intense Chocolate Hit!" The bars are produced in Ireland, by the Birmingham-based company, Cadbury Schweppes.

Twirl is also popular in Oceania, being manufactured and distributed by Cadbury Schweppes in Australia, and Dunedin-based Cadbury Confectionery in New Zealand.

Cadburys Twirl first appeared in the Irish market in the early 1970s. The original Twirl bar was a single finger, approximately the size of a standard Cadbury's Flake bar. The Twirl bar was repackaged in 1984 as a twin bar, and from the 1990s onwards, has been marketed outside of Ireland.
