Just relaxing in my roll top bath, with my pet lizard perched on one of the bath taps (obviously) and the fone inexplicably ringing in the background, eating my Cadbury's Flake..........

Hang on there a minute though - just noticed on the wrapper that it is a 'New Recipe'

What's occurring?

This would never have happened in the '70s....................

Must be down to EU regulations against aphrodisiacs in confectionery. That'll be why we don't have soft focus adverts with blonde ladies in rapture at the first bite anymore, it would be false advertising with the revised recipe. It'll just have to survive on it's crumbly chocolatey merits alone now.

/amusing, I get adverts for Dairy Milk when viewing this thread.

I find it hard to believe there is a glass and a half of milk in any Cadbury's chocolate these days. They should never have sold it.

It seems that since the yanks bought Cadbury's they are changing the recipes, the recent controversy about Crème Eggs, they probably want to bring us into line with their disgusting American chocolate so that it can be sold in America.

I bought a fruit & nut bar the other day and the chocolate just did NOT taste right. I thought at the time that this probably meant Kraft had been meddling with the recipe.

Cheapskate Philistines.

Kraft are messing with the recipes. I stopped buying Cadbury as it now tastes so awful, like slimey cooking chocolate. Nestle (the old Rowntree Mackintosh) products are far nicer.

Good time for Aldi or Lidl to widen their range of copycat bars, making them taste like the popular ones used to taste.

Oh mate, I'm all about the Lidil and Aldi treats when I can afford them. A few weeks back had one of there chocolate and hazelnut bars which rivals any galaxy bar. I also tried one of there chocolate mouse pots. Better than any of the branded ones I've tried.

There was only ever a glass and a half in only Dairy Milk chocilate produced by Cadbury.

Apart from occasional Dairy Milk Special editions of other cadbury's chocolate bars , Boost's, crunchies and Double deckers to name just 3 were never made with Dairy Milk despite them being Cadbury produced.

Just because you just ate a cadbury's chocolate bar it doesn't automatically mean you were eating dairy milk chocolate.

American chocolate isn't very nice, if that's what they are doing.
If it is, they can take their flake and stuff it up their....

I had a flake the other day and thought it tasted different, and it was too crumbly. I prefer a Ripple. Talking of Lild/Aldi chocolate, the dark chocolate is lovely and only 39p!!

Thank you!! I have been saying that the chocolate has been tasting wrong for a while now but no one I asked agreed, I used to be a cadburys fan before the yanks got it but it just doesn't taste the same now. Started to think it was just me so glad others think the same. Such a shame though

I prefer the supermarket own brand chocolate now, better than Cadbury and half the price. I'm enjoying some Asda milk chocolate as I type, very moreish!

You just know that, if hell actually existed, Kraft would be doing the catering.

Do they own Ahoy! ? I posted this on a advert thread a while back, but you know those cookies called Ahoy! ? Well they did a series of odd adverts one of which had the Cadbury gorilla advert in..,then the cookie remixed it? Or pulled the if or something.
If kraft now owns Cadbury and if they make Ahoy ... Then my confusion is over lol

it did taste a bit less chocolatey - if that makes any sense.......?

Now if they mess with my GALAXY all bets are off!!!

Keep a close eye on the ingredients. Sugar content is probably going up and milk content and cocoa going down. They're probably padding it out with more vegetable fat too.

I recently had a piece from a colleague's Cadbury Dairy Milk bar. I rarely eat chocolate so I was surprised at how different it tasted. I remembered it creamy, but now it seems simultaneously sweeter and bitter?

I can't tell if it's just my taste buds changing or there's really a change in the recipe for Cadbury Dairy Milk bar.

The reason I said powdery is I remember trying Hershie? Hurshe? You know that American stuff, and it reminded me if the penny mice you could get from the newsagents. Not very tasty at all, and a bit powdery.

The bitterness to me would indicate a higher coco percentage in the mix. I think in the Uk we like creamy chocolate , hence the glass and a half of milk. I do wonder how galaxy makes there's so smooth.
By the sounds of it they've brought dairy milk closer taste wise to bornvil? The dark chocolate Cadbury makes. Why I don't know...maybe it's cheaper?

I still eat Cadbury. Can't say I've noticed a difference in the taste to be honest. The Nestle chocolate, however has a very different taste now and I don't like it.
