Cadbury Dairy Milk Big Taste Triple Choc Sensation

Cadbury dairy milk big taste triple Choc sensation

When these Dairy Milk Big Taste bars first came out I vowed not to try this Triple Choc Sensation variety...I'd heard from other bloggers it wasn't upto much, but me being me, I decided to give it a chance when it appeared in my local Tesco recently. 

For £3 you get a 300g slab that consists of a layer of Dairy Milk chocolate, white chocolate and "dark milk" chocolate, which apparently means it's a 45% cocoa chocolate with the addition of milk solids. Confusing! 


I have to give credit where it's due: this is definitely a pretty cool-looking bar aesthetically with its triangular blocks and triple layered effect. Sadly, it's all style over substance...


The chocolate tasted pretty grim, even worse than regular bog-standard Dairy Milk does nowadays which is saying something. The predominant taste was of sweet, cheap white chocolate, which unfortunately wasn't the Cadbury Dream many of us remember and loved as kids, but an inferior, Tesco Value type of white chocolate. There was a slightly stronger cocoa flavour from the "dark milk" chocolate which improved the bar somewhat, but the actual "Dairy Milk" that this bar is named after was undetectable! In fact it was the thinnest layer of the bar, and as well as that, according to the ingredients list, it now contains "hazelnut paste", which doesn't make it Dairy Milk in my book. 

Cadbury dairy milk big taste triple Choc

Overall, I have to say I'm very disappointed in this bar. It tastes like a watered-down version of a regular Dairy Milk, and the inclusion of the White and Dark-Milk chocolate doesn't enhance it in any way. It looks cool, but that's where the positives end. I suppose I should have expected all this, after all it was forewarned by my fellow blogger buddies. This bar gets a big miss from me...I think they'd have been better off marketing it as Dairy Milk with Dream and Bournville...or as the Triple Decker bar that's been available in Australia for years now. 

6 out of 10.

    I lament what's happened to dairy milk under Kraft gone is the lovely velvet texture replaced with a waxy one. I think we as a nation have been too apathetic allowing this we should have boycotted as soon as they messed with it

    See I told you Cadbury had seemingly forgotten they have Dream & Bournville!! If they actually did all three layers it would make for a semi decent bar. xx

    It's been years since Triple Decker has been available in Australia, it wasn't around for long. But we do have Top Deck which is Dairy Milk topped with white chocolate which has been around forever. It's pretty good.

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 pr...

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...
