I am not a massive chocolate eater only occasionally.
For me personally i like lindt chocolate it tastes pretty similar to cadbury's but is more expensive.
Aldi's own brand of chocolate is also good for the price that is.

when you google it, you'll get multiple articles telling you the recipe hasn't changed for over 100 years. I'm not 100% sure how accurate that is, but they've been using palm oil in their chocolate for at least 50 years in the uk and there's zero proof the amount has ever changed since the Kraft buyout.
Cadburys died long ago.
They replaced Dairy Milk in a lot of products with a cocoa mix that they said everyone preferred. Nobody did.
They replaced raisins in Fruit and Nut with sultanas, then said everyone preferred it. Nobody did.
**** Mondolez.

It's been complete trash for a couple of decades now, it's just a sickly brown goo that gives you a nasty sugar rush when you finishing eating a bar. It's the main reason I switched to higher quality dark chocolate blocks like Lindt and Green & Blacks as they're far nicer.
I had the displeasure of trying the 30% less sugar dairy milk last night. Never again.
They seems to have added maize starch to the ingredients and it gives a funny texture. It's 18g of fibre per 100g too and it tastes like it.

I’m finding I’m starting to like dark over milk more and more as I get older. Both my grandparents loved it too.
Is it an age thing. More refined palette as you age or the like?

This guy knows what's up. Dairy Milk is what I would feed to my captives if I were in some B-grade Silence of the Lambs knock off. It's not exactly a terrorist act but it plays on the boundaries.
In other news, I went to the Cadbury's factory last year (I think it's closed now) and it was really interesting and almost medieval in som eof the processes and procedures. 5 stars, would go again (if it's not closed which it is is).

They said it hasn't. Tastes the same to me.
As I've aged I prefer a quality dark chocolate over mass market Cadburys and the like. I think it's just a case of appreciating quality over quantity, as well as finding I'm losing my sweet tooth. I'm still partial to a kit-kat now and again, but that's mostly for the biscuit. I find too many things are not just sweet, but sugary and sickly.

Almost. Your sense of smell gets worse as you age and your taste buds start dying off when you hit around 40 so instead of the sweet things you would naturally prefer as a child, you start going for more savory flavours.
