Cadbury also produce a snack sized version called Twirl Bites, which come in a bag containing several smaller Twirl-like chocolates.
As of 2023 there is also a multipack version containing 5 single Twirl bars. This 5-pack weighs 107.5 grams, each bar weighing exactly 21.5 grams. This is a reduction in weight relative to the previously available 34 gram, 4-bar multipacks of 21%.
In late 2019, Cadbury launched an orange flavoured variety of Twirl in the UK. Many stores struggled to keep stock of the bar, repeatedly selling out due to the high demand. In August 2020, Cadbury announced the return of the Orange Twirl. Consumers could join a pre-sale on Twitter to get access to the first new bars, while stores began to stock them in September. In February 2021, the Orange Twirl became a permanent product.
In June 2022, Cadbury launched a new flavour, Twirl Caramel.
In May 2023, Cadbury launched the Twirl Mint.
This is by no means an exhaustive listing of Twirl flavours, as the Iced Latte Twirl is also known to be sold in Australia.
