Cadbury Dairy Milk with Ritz Crackers & LU Biscuits Review

-
cadbury dairy milk with ritz crackers and lu sweet biscuits

Last year I reviewed the Milka with TUC Crackers and LU Cookies bars, and rather enjoyed them. Since Mondelez are now bringing most of their Milka variations to the UK under the Dairy Milk brand (Oreo, D'aim, etc) it didn't surprise me much when they announced the launch of these.

Unlike the Milka versions these only come in small 35g bars, each containing 4 squares of Dairy Milk embedded with either LU biscuits or Ritz crackers. Presumably Mondelez went for Ritz rather than TUC crackers as they're more popular in the UK.

 Dairy Milk with Ritz Crackers:

Dairy Milk Ritz
Described as "Milk chocolate with 8 salted crackers", this 4-square bar contains a mini Ritz cracker on both sides of each square. The chocolate is pure Dairy Milk so of course it tastes delicious and creamy - I'm sure I needn't describe it! Combined with the Ritz crackers it creates a moreish synergy - savoury, salty, creamy and sweet all rolled into one. It works perhaps even better than Milka with TUC Crackers as the Dairy Milk is creamier and somehow balances out the overall flavour. This is a very moreish bar indeed, it's just a shame it's so small!

RATING: 8 out of 10.

Dairy Milk with LU Sweet Biscuits:

Described as "Milk chocolate with 8 biscuits", this is perhaps the safer option of the two as it contains mini sweet LU biscuits - no salt here! They work better with the chocolate than the Ritz crackers and give a malty, vanilla-hinted flavour which is very delicious. This bar reminded me a little of Dairy Milk with Shortcake Biscuit that was available many years ago, and if you were a fan of that bar you'll surely enjoy this!

RATING: 8 out of 10. 

Overall, these are two delicious bars that no doubt many people will enjoy. They're as good, if not better than the Milka versions, but will they catch on with the Great British Public? That's the real question, and I'll be very interested to see how long they stick around.

If you've tried these please let me know your thoughts in the comments! Also I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried the Milka versions - how do you think these compare?

    I'll def try these when I see them. How do the LU biscuit ones compare with Bahlsen's mighty Choco Leibniz, I imagine they are similiar?

      I'm not sure if I've tried those Choco Liebniz so I can't really say...I'll have to look out for them!

      Choco Liebniz is the KING of biscuits.

      Suggest the Milk Chocolate as the definitive variety, usually about £1.65 for box of 9. Quite expensive but Sainsbury's currently have them at £1 a box. http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp?bmUID=1392179266848

      A must-try for a biscuit lover in my opinion.

      Kev you must try Bahlsen - their Choco Liebnitz are the crème de la crème but extremely expensive - the Cadbury Lu combo is sweeter, but very tasty and not so damaging to the figure as you don't end up eating 9 of them in one go... A much cheaper, and must-try substitute for Bahlsen is Lidl's equivalent milk and dark versions.

      The Ritz ones are amazing! I am a massive fan of ritz crackers and of dairy milk so the two together are like the perfect snack.

    I bought these from Tesco Express in the Strand last night. While the Ritz crackers are too salty for my tastes, I agree the Lu biscuits were pleasantly sweet with a malty hint. I'll definitely buy the Lu one again but not the Ritz.

    The lu dairy milk biscuit variety go perfectly with a cuppa. Might try the Ritz although might be a bit salty if the standalone cracker product is anything to go by. Will definitely get the lu ones again if I see them.

    I found the Ritz disappointing as the chocolate to biscuit ratio is far too much in favour of the chocolate to make the biscuit pointless. The chocolate is great obviously and I would like to try one with more biscuit but don't think it would work..

      I agree, definitely needs more Ritz cracker to work properly.

    My first response on seeing the advert was "What the hell is a LU biscuit?" seems an odd marketing choice for the UK. Having tried them I would like to try the biscuit on it's own, but where to get them from?

      They're a French brand. I did a quick google and it seems you can buy their biscuits from this website:

    Thoroughly enjoyed the lu version, find them very moreish Indeed. Not quite tempted to go for the ritz biscuit even though I am a huge fan of ritz biscuits on their own. Just can't imagine the saltiness of them complimenting the chocolate at the right ratio for my palette.

    The product is nice but the packaging is ridiculously hard to open

      You're doing it wrong! There's a yellow arrow that says "Peel here", and the wrapper peels open nice and cleanly.

    I tried the Ritz ones a couple of weeks ago but wasn't sure about them at the time. I've just tried the LU ones and although I finished all 3 bars the Ritz are definitely my favourite. They are pretty expensive at £1.50 for 3x35g bars when you could get a large bar of Dairy Milk for £1.50, but these are much more interesting.

    Farmfoods are selling 4 multi-packs of 3 for £1. So that's 12 for only a quid. Bargain!

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
