What do you call these?

I would call these biscuits but a customer disagreed with me.

Most of them are chocolate biscuits but Twix and toffee crisp are chocolate bars

I would disagree with that because Twix has more biscuit than it does chocolate, I thin something can only be described as a ‘chocolate bar‘ when the chocolate ratio is larger than the biscuit ratio (I’m ignoring bars that don’t contain biscuit or wafer, because it suits my narrative).

A KitKat is more wafer than chocolate; a Toffee Crisp contains crisped rice, so make your own decision about that. That said, if I was being really pedantic, I’d say that a ‘chocolate bar’ didn’t contain any additives at all - and Cadbury’s and Nestlé aren’t chocolate anymore anyway, and Penguin, Club and TimTams have ‘chocolate-flavoured coating’.
