Cadbury's Chocolate

Have to agree about Lidl's chocolate. They do five small bars in a pack for a very small sum and it is very good. Also, it is easier to limit one's intake when it comes in separate bars!

Cadburys is not technically chocolate which is why it is called Cadburys dairy milk !! I read that somewhere .

I can't be doing with expensive "posh" chocolate . Except for the champagne truffles from Hotel Chocolate that I find in my stocking at Christmas . They are just too yummy .

Kraft took over Terry's chocolate factory in York in 1993. By 2005 they had moved all production to the Eastern Europe. They were only after the Terry name and should not have been allowed to take over Cadbury because it has been shown that they cannot be trusted to keep their word.

Lindt 70% dark with sea salt- the best ever.

I'm with you Rubysong I bought Tescos cheap Everday chocolate for cooking purposes, nibbled some and found it really good!

I normally only like Lindt type dark chocolate. Don't tell everyone they'll put the price up!

anno - with you 100% ;)

Cadburys chocolate is now disgustingly sweet and waxy since Kraft took over, and I am obviously not the only one to have stopped buying it; it is forever on offer in local Coop, big bars for £1. the best chocolate is Lidl, tastes like swiss chocolate and is very reasonable as is everything else in there. There liquorice allsorts are only around 69 p per bag as are there jelly babies and are very good......just on the grounds of research you understand.

Although, like others on here I am not a lover of Marks & Spencer clothing, I do like their version of Walnut Whips.....mmmm (we need a chocolate smiley)

And what's happened to the size of Walnut Whips!

I suppose it's just horses for courses, anno. I would say I detest dark chocolate and the high cocoa content stuff that's supposed to be so superior. But I will eat it when there's nothing else available! Then again I'll eat cooking chocolate when I'm desperate.

Cadbury's was always my favourite, not so much now. My creme egg fix after Lent wasn't nearly as enjoyable this year.

I am going to offend so many grans now!
I've never thought of Cadbury's as 'real' chocolate. Give me a dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. Belgian chocolate beats the sickly Cadbury's product hands down. I like Aldi's and Lidl's chocolate. Very satisfying.

I've given up going to Lidl because of the cheap chocolate. Particularly the white chocolate.

I don't eat much chocolate now but when I do I can't really tell the difference between Cadbury and Kraft. Twirl, Flake and Creme Eggs taste the same (although Creme Eggs have most definitely been on a diet).

It's not just the taste but the thickness of it. Easter Eggs this year were particularly slim.Chocolate used to be thick and chunky but it's been on a diet !

I used to love Dairy Milk. But since having to eat only 90% chocolate, l think I would now dislike it

In my little world I regard Cadbury's chocolate as the staff of life. Still my favourite and as long as Kraft do not totally change it (agree that the other American brand Hershey's is completely revolting) that is how it will remain.

.......and he hasn't got an ounce of fat on him

My DH is chocolate mad. He just can't get enough of it and I have to hide chocolate for the children away so he can't find it. He loves Cadbury's Dairy Milk and given the chance he could easily power through a large bar every night. As a bit of an authority on the stuff he says that it doesn't taste as creamy as it used to.

Yes loved cadburys chocolate and not keen on a lot of the new flavours. It is now owned by an American company so not as good. Had some the other day just didn't taste right.

No. What happened?

Cadbury's chocolate is not what it was, the way to go, ladies is with Lindt chocolate especially Lindor & their bars of chocolate with caramel & sea salt, superb!

I agree...cream eggs nothing like they used to be. By the time you had licked out the sickly filling you then had the delicious dairy milk egg to chomp....but nowhere near as yummy as it used to be. It's the same with digestive biscuits...has McVities been taken over?

I'm quite enjoying Tesco cheapest own brand chocolate at 30p a bar.

I haven't bought Cadbury's chocolate since Kraft went back on their promise to keep the Keynsham factory open. They closed it shortly after completing the purchase and moved the production overseas where it was cheaper (something they must have known they were going to do). Mine is a very small protest and doesn't affect the owners one jot but it makes me feel better to be supporting all the workers who lost their jobs

Actually katex028 I think it is important.
Kraft promised many things and the reneged.
They are using 'other' sweets in their new bars to eek out the chocolate as its cheaper.
Also altering original recipes.
I don't buy Cadburys
I don't buy HP sauce.
