Not sure about cheese flavour spread...but I do like a bit of cheese followed up with a bit of chocolate...no idea why

If that happens, that's the end of the (chocolate) world for me.

I find that shocking and a bit disconcerting that when so many really horrible things are happening in the world that I am really put out by that.

It is day 2 of a new diet so maybe there is a silver cloud.

I still resent the Rowntree business

It appears Kraft are slowly changing recipes so the British Cadbury is using the same cheaper recipes as in the USA.”

And considering cocoa butter itself was a poor substitute for the real thing, that they are downgrading it further with palm oil is sickening.

I try to avoid Palm oil anyway I can because of the poor homeless orangutans being left with no home and without food.

I don't understand WHY they're doing it though. They make mega money.
Next time I by some lidil or Aldi chocolate I'll read the ingredients. I know I know it might not be great, but it tastes nice.
There is a chance....a small chance it's got good ingredients because they approached a small chocolate maker and offered them a international market?

They have mega money, but like all companies they want more. The shareholders want more and they always have more competition. Easy way to cut costs in chocolate? Substitute out the most expensive part, the cocoa.

I haven't bought Cadbury's for a while (I used love Dairy milk with fruit and nut but since Kraft took over it's not as nice). I had a creme egg the other day and it was horrible, the chocolate tasted cheap. I tend to buy Mars, Nestlé or Lindt chocolate now, or I go to Hotel Chocolat when I want to treat myself.

My brain cannot cope with savoury and sweet together, so I've left that particular 'filly' well alone.

I agree Vic - it's the end of the world as we know it!

I suppose there is always GALAXY and RIPPLE..........

I wonder if anyone has messed about with the KIT-KAT recipe?

Isn't this a trick that has been pulled several times before with other products? They change the recipe, gets lots of news coverage for their product, and then get even more news coverage several months later when 'due to customer demand' they bring the old recipe back.

Ah yes, but that could just be a Wispa............

I think Dairy Milk is now made in Poland.

I'm a bit alarmed by this thread. My OH is away on business this week, so I bought Cadbury's caramel and Turkish delight bars as a treat to console myself. Now I'm wondering if the goodies waiting for me in the fridge are going to be a bit rubbish. Have they really changed that much?

Think I'll stick to peanut m&ms.

It's very unlikely that Kraft would use the US recipes. A bit of background.

Herschey's Milk Chocolate does actually smell of vomit. It's not hyperbole. The US process saves money by lipolysis of stale milk, and produces butyric acid (the smell of vomit). The US consumer didn't have much choice, and have become accustomed to it. The stuff does not export well to other markets. In addition US milk chocolate is 10% chocolate liquor. It wouldn't be legal in the UK (20% cocoa solids) or the rest of the EU (25% cocoa solids)

Aww no, I've not had a flake for ages and now they've changed the recipe... does it still taste pretty much the same?

...and me. When they 'rounded the edges' of Dairy Milk, that's when the taste changed.

It's tasting more like Yank chocolate everyday!!!

Richard Cadbury, must be doing somersaults in his grave!

The Nestle chocolate tastes horrible to me now. I used to love it years ago but has a very strange taste nowadays. I much prefer Cadbury.

I completely agree, I am a huge fan of the Easter eggs that Cadburys create, I wonder if the recipe has changed for them.

No more Cadbury's for me.
I even threw some away recently, it was that horrible. I certainly never imagined myself doing such a thing shocking, our lovely Dairy Milk, gone forever.

If kraft now owns Cadbury and if they make Ahoy ... Then my confusion is over lol”

Yes, Chips Ahoy is one of their brands...

You can get Dairy Milk with Chips Ahoy now I believe.
