cadbury fruit and whole nut...

arknor · 15 Aug 2019 at 01:26

Bought one from asda 200g bar.
literally had 4 nuts and 3 raisins :mad:

what is this madness.

Think I should join the brigade who doesn't buy their crap anymore.

the lack of nuts and fruit made me realise just how bad their chocolate tastes.

If lidl in England is anything like Switzerlands I could pay £1 for a chocolate and nut bar that is more nuts than chocolate and be perfectly happy.

also the nuts in the cadbury bar seem to have no taste :confused:

There seems to be a lot of variation bar to bar, I've had a few with plenty in and equally a bar with only a few raisins in (gritty/ nasty tasting raisins at that).

That's completely nuts! I'd be raisin a complaint if i were you.

At least you got one, I've been trying to find a few bars of Cadbury's Old Jamaica for ages now and nowhere seems to stock them.

Yaayuh! · 15 Aug 2019 at 06:29

They went downhill after Kraft bought them.

I cringe at some of the new varieties that Cadbury does.

But then I recall Roald Dahl writing about Cadbury sending out creative chocolate bars for testing when he was in school. They've been at it for quite a while.

The aldi and lidl ruit and nut bars are so much better. Plus they still put hazelnuts in whereas I think Cadburys use almonds now.

Hotwired · 15 Aug 2019 at 07:03

Had a check on that.

So the fruit and nut is and always has been almonds but they've changed the raisins to sultanas relatively recently.

But Cadbury also does whole nut which is whole hazelnuts in the chocolate.

Can't see why they use two types but there we go.

Tweet them and they might send you some freebies/a voucher

But yeah they have gone downhill a tad since Kraft took over. I don't really eat chocolate now but if I do have anything of Cadburys I find it's ridiculously sweet :confused:

not sure if it's because it has changed or just that I notice it more now

The Lidl hazelnut bar is yum though. Plenty of nuts in there :cool:

There’s the dairy milk crushed nut which has crushed nuts all the way through tried it a couple of weeks ago thought it was good compared the fruit and nut which is what I used to have all the time.

Aldis fruit and nuts better anyway

Like most chocolate over here (and cakes), they are stodgy and full of sugar whereas our continental cousins have lovely light and fluffy desserts

Easiest way to tell if the chocolate youre about to buy is half decent is, if it has "vegetable fat" or "palm oil" then put it back.

The quality of the chocolate seems to be worse now, it "feels" slightly bitty/gritty now rather than silky smooth like it used to.
