Cadbury to launch new Darkmilk Chocolate in UK!

-
Cadbury Darkmilk Original

Just a quick spot of Snacks News today - Cadbury UK are going to launch a new Chocolate bar in September called Darkmilk! Already available in Australia in several flavours, this is a richer take on Dairy Milk with 40% cocoa and 14% milk, compared to Dairy Milk which is 23% cocoa and 20% milk. It will cost £1.49 for an 85g bar, with smaller bars launching later. There's an Original variety plus Roasted Almond:

Are you excited to try this richer version of Dairy Milk? Are you willing to pay more for a higher cocoa percentage? Let me know in the comments!

    Cadbury embodies everything that is British in todays world - A quintessentially British name, owned by an American company and produced in Poland. On the topic of Mondelez, I bought a pack of Terrys Choc Orange bites yesterday and instead of Mondelez it said Carambar and Co on the back - and lo, on the internet, Mondelez have stated that, after buying Terrys in 1993, they have quietly sold it to a French company - Carambar and Co and from August this year all Terrys products will be made by them. It seems to have been given very little publicity.

      Wow interesting, thanks for letting me know! I wonder if there's any change in taste.

      There doesn't seem to be any change in taste - I bought some Terrys All Gold Dark today in Asda - one box was branded Mondelez on the back of the box (in small writing of course) and another was branded with Carambar and CO on the back - there is no difference in taste or packaging between either product - I hope they extend the Terrys range because Mondelez left it dormant for several years and never added any new products - maybe Carambar, with the excitement of acquiring a new, big brand, will bring back Terrys white choc orange or Terrys Neopolitans - now that Kraft/Mondelez is out of the picture. I always wanted you to review Terrys all gold - you have done Cadbury milk tray and roses and quality street etc - maybe try Terrys All gold Milk or Dark - that would be a really cool, interesting review of a product that's been around since 1932 but gets no advertisement anywhere in the UK media.

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
