Cadburys chocolate bars

[DulwichFox]

Had a quick ... browse..

A Cadbury Dairy Milk bar contains 23% cocoa solids

Cadbury's Flake contains 25% cocoa solids

Twirl contains 25% cocoa solids

Crunchie contains 20% cocoa solids

According to the third drop down box on the official Cadbury website, the reason for different cocoa content is to do with storage and milk variation.

I've always thought dairy milk tasted a little more creamy than the other bars.

I know the chocolate isn't the main event as such, but it's still a Cadbury's product and I'd assumed it was pretty much the same chocolate covering the Boost.

I do love a boost, at one time they even released one in a green wrapper offering an EXTRA sugar hit. Like the standard one isn't enough.

For me a taste of the 1970's would be a fudge bar. And the famous ad on TV at the time.

Wispa coudl be made with dairy milk (or not, i'm not sure), but it has a very different texture and is therefore a very different proposition.

I like crunchie's too.

[Earl Aelfheah]

So looking into it, Wispa contains 'cocoa solids 25% minimum', which means is higher than Dairy Milk. So it seems to be a different chocolate - although the fact that it's aerated is clearly the bigger distinction.

I was quite happy to oblige with this. Basically childish humour, I'm your man.

I always thought the jingle which went with the made up 'finger of fudge' song, was from the old English Folk tune 'The Lincolnshire Poacher'.. Or it certainly is very similar.

I can't really be trusted around milk chocolate, it's so sweet I can hoover up tons of the stuff.

My favourites are Crunchie, Maltesers, Minstrels and Twirls. Prefer Galaxy to Dairy Milk but if I had to buy a bar of milk chocolate I'd go for Green and Blacks - Almond or Butterscotch in particular.

I used to love Bourneville when I was younger but I can't remember the last time I saw a bar in the shops - maybe because I am not really looking for it or maybe it's been replaced by all the posher dark chocolate now.

I keep a small supply of tiny bars of chocolate in the house - usually Green and Blacks - the dark chocolate selection pack only. I'd enjoy the milk more, but it'd last me a couple of days or so and then I'd have gobbled it all up. The dark ones seem to satisfy the craving far quicker and knowing they are there usually stops me from heading out to buy large bars of the sweet stuff.

I can't do that thing of only eating a square or two or a bar, have to eat the whole bar, hence buying the small ones. For some reason I can have a large bar's worth of small ones and still just eat one... It's not logical, but I saw a TV program on food once which showed it's not unusual to be like that - most people will eat more when food comes in larger packs.

Co-op were recently selling some Cadbury's bars with 'puddles' of hazlenut flavoured filling. Love hazlenut things, but these were foul, flavoured liquid, not real hazlenut, could not even finish it.

In the interests of science I had a Boost for breakfast this morning.

Can confirm it was yum.

Can also confirm that I'm now a bit wired.

Going back 10 yrs or so... "Boost guarana" with a green wrapper. That was good. Can't say I felt any buzz from it, but it tasted a little different to the regular one.

CAn someone delete this thread please? I have put on 2 lbs by having to go out and sample chocolate whenever I read a posting.

:(

Minstrels kept in the freezer

But you must eat them by biting edge to edge between your molars, slowly incase you break a tooth tho

Curly Whirly from the freezer, whack the packet hard on the work top and the thing shatters, tip some of that onto icecream or yoghurt

The pound shop stuff specifically is made for the ? shops, so it's smaller

oh god yeah I remember there was a craze for all things guarana in the 90s, don't remember the Boost one though I do remember a sickly coconut one in a blue wrapper. Yuck.
