These British Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons were a surprise international treat in the free sample MunchPak that I received a while ago and am still slowly munching my way through. The buttons were little thumbnail-sized disks with a flat side and a domed side. Their flat side had the scripted Cadbury logo imprinted on it….

Guest Post: Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss Dreamy Chocolate Truffle
Here’s another Euro-chocolate review from Neil! Any readers know if these Cadbury Blisses are related to Hershey’s Bliss in the U.S.? ~Rosa Hallo! Neil here with another European treat. This one is possibly found in the States, but I can’t recall having seen it there, perhaps because it launched after I moved over here. It’s the…
Cadbury Choclair – Blueberry
I found these Cadbury Choclairs in the Chinese equivalent of a mini-mart. I didn’t know exactly what to expect – based on the packaging, I thought that they would be blueberry-flavored chocolate. Instead, they turned out to be little caramels with a blueberry flavored center. It looks like I wound up with the blueberry version…
Guest Post: Chinese Candy Grab Bag – Cadbury Hazelnut
This week and into next, I’m turning the reviewing over to my friend Neil. He’s from upstate New York but is currently living in the Netherlands. Ironically enough, his guest posts are about Chinese candy. A labmate went home to China to celebrate the New Year and brought back a lot of candy to share. I…
Cadbury Soft English Toffee
This Cadbury Soft English Toffee bar caught my eye in the candy aisle at Wegman’s because of the soft English toffee part. In England, toffee is what we’d call caramel. In the case of this bar, the soft English toffee refers to a smooth, flowing caramel. It’s sweet and sticky, with a gorgeous golden hue….
Flake trio – Dark, Praline, and Dipped
Cadbury Flake is a UK bar that’s chocolate folded in on itself in thin sheets, which adds a textural component that changes the melt and mouthfeel, not unlike how aerated chocolate seems to taste different. It’s also really popular as an ice cream topper. This summer, I saw lots of British people and foreign tourists…
Candy quick hits – gifted edition
A quick round-up of things that I ate and photographed but couldn’t come up with many words for. If the picture takes up more room than the review, it doesn’t warrant a standalone review. These were all gifts from friends who brought (or mailed) me candy from afar, which is why they’re mostly hard/impossible to…
Free Stride Gum
Stride Gum is having a promotion and giving away free,?packs of gum?if you have the patience to answer a bunch of silly questions. I asked for Always Mandarin. I heard about this promotion from an internet freebie website. Coincidentally enough, in the same week, Stride Gum contacted me to ask that I help promote some…
Cadbury Picnic
The Cadbury Picnic is a UK bar composed of milk chocolate with toffee, wafer, peanuts, sultanas, and a crispy cereal centre. You can tell it?s British not only from the spelling of centre but also from the ?toffee,? which in British vernacular is actually what we would call caramel. That is, cooked sugar that is…
Cadbury Crunchie
I found the British Cadbury Crunchie (BUY!) at Coco Moka in Houston’s airport. The wrapper promised “milk chocolate with a golden honeycomb centre,” so I expected that it would be something similar to the Violet Crumble, and I was right. However, I liked the Cadbury Crunchie more. The honeycomb center (or centre) of the Cadbury…
