Or the media may be waiting to splash the big news across the odd Double Decker.

Had some of what was supposed to be the original Mayan recipe for chocolate when I was in Mexico. They were able to mix it with anything you wanted that grew naturally, like mint. Can’t say I could go back to any of them now

Yanks fück up everything. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chocolate.

Thanks Mondelez.

Galaxy is much nicer than Cadburys has been for years. US chocolate is muck.

Catch bars are the biz, as are Topics. And there's nothing like a Toblerone, but only if it's been bought in an airport, it adds a little cosmopolitan je ne sais quois.

Toblerone will forever be linked with duty free in my head. Knowing that I can buy one whenever I want will never change that.
I'm glad they backtracked on this travesty:

Lackadaisical · 21-08-2019 01:04AM

Toblerone and Milka were also taken over by Mondelez.
They only value the legacy of the brand name and seem to think nobody will notice the new cheap recipes.

They also have a habit of adding Oreos to everything and managed to combine Philadelphia soft cheese and Milka chocolate and launch that in France, a country known for its love of American cheese and adding adding chocolate to cheese....

A company in Bandon started making chocolate called Milsean. The 48% stuff is pretty good. Nowhere near as bitter as most darker chocolate I've tried.

No idea of its availability nationwide though and it's slightly expensive, which should probably be expected from a small company.

Damn it, but this thread is making me hungry.

As someone who always used enjoy the taste of chocolate, I'm disgusted at how Cadbury's, Mars/Masterfoods, Nestlé/Rowntree Mackintosh have all continuously been diluting their product range and quality down through the years. A box of Cadbury's Irish Roses/Milk Tray are no longer something special any more given that most of the sweets are caramel with a few fudge/plain/fruit. I still remember legacy selections like "Box of Contrast" and the triangular shape box selection called: "Biarritz". I'd also love to see Double Centres make return which used be from the Mackintosh's range. Terry's chocolate confectionery from York used also have some fancy produce from Terry's Chocolate Orange to their boxes of chocolates. To pick up Cadbury's SNACK sandwich bar nowadays and there is barely a covering of chocolate over the biscuit itself - same applies to Jacob's Club Milk biscuit range.

I tasted an AERO bar over Easter and it was such a disappointment - used taste special but now like cheap quality produce at full price!
Also Malteser Egg tasted pure crap
You'd get similar or even better quality in ALDI or LIDL cheap chocolate product lines.

Toblerone is amazing but they ****ed up the regular bars of that too. Mental that they thought making the valleys wider was better than adding on 30c or whatever it would have cost.

It was bounty happen.

I bought one in Supervalu. Nice, I'd get it again.

Does anybody have a new 8 square one and an old one. Should be pretty easy to tell by the ingredients.

It's like lucozade all over again. Will have to stock up on the old nice dairy milk.

Go away. Cadbury choc is as amazing as ever and still tastes better than anything else in this world. The fact that its in every shop or garage in Ireland is proof that Cadbury choc is amazing. Those who don't like it are in the minority

Perhaps its still in every shop & garage in Ireland because they cant shift it?

Will also seek it out. It's that or take up smoking just to dull the taste buds.

I've heard Mondelez have outsourced manufacturing of one of the famous Cadbury's bars to Asia to trial an even cheaper way to make it. That might be a Chinese Wispa though.

This might just be me but the new "less sugar" offering reminds me of the taste of the Dairy Milk from the gold foil days.
It's certainly the closest they've gotten in a while.

Hahaha that's just some people on boards living in a dream world. The fact that its everywhere shows its Ireland's most popular chocolate. There's lots of other chocolate out there but people prefer cadburys which is why its everywhere.

I understand the fact that some people dont like it as its too sweet for some and yeah I'd say they have reduced the cocoa but its still amazing.. I actually wish I didnt love it as much as I do as I find it more addictive then any drug

JohnnyFlash · 21-08-2019 09:18AM

They just add palm oil to everything. Gives it that weird consistency. That and the powdered milk. Cadbury’s chocolate is gross.

fatknacker · 21-08-2019 09:19AM

Cadbury's has been sh1te for years. If you really like choco then invest in some decent choco. There are lots of good choco places around now.

Chocolate snobs. You gotta love them.

"Invest". Would ya ever go and shoite.

fatknacker · 21-08-2019 09:23AM

Why don't you go fck yourself with a flake then if you like cheap sugary chocolate so much.

Chocolate with a high cocoa content is disgusting, its like eating raw coffee beans. the extra sugar is needed to give it a proper taste

Earthhorse · 21-08-2019 09:27AM

I still enjoy a Mint Crisp from time to time. And Mint Aero. Maybe I just like mint.

Purple snack's are still good IMO and I recently had a Moro and thought it tasted fine.

Green & Blacks is too bitter and meek for my taste. You can hardly get a taste from it at all.

Lindt is overrated too (at least those Lindt balls are). Their thin bars taste good but are a bit overpriced.

At the risk of creating an ear worm, I used to love it, I used to love it once. Really love it. Thankfully as a I kid I'd a very healthy metabolic system as I used to live on the stuff. When is the last time you purchased the 8 square plain dairymilk. Go out and buy one today, ensure it's a new batch. If you cannot tell the difference, you must be a 40 a day man or simply deluded.

Irish cuisine used to be very bland, it's had a sea change in the last decade or so, so Irish purchasing habits will change. It may take a time before the knee Jerk reaction of picking up Cadbury's will change.

I think the changes up until recently have been like the boiling frog, they've been incremental and not so noticeable. Whereas the last one was too great a change, and clearly inferior.

marklazarcovic · 21-08-2019 09:29AM

I'll 2nd mosher Roth chocolate.. levels above Cadbury now.

I wonder if the other ingredients, mint etc. are masking the chocolate element.

Earthhorse · 21-08-2019 09:40AM

Don't know. You could ask the same about most of the other brands; I tend to get Lindt orange or mint bars too.

Think the only plain chocolate I still really enjoy is Milka but haven't had it in years now.

razorblunt · 21-08-2019 10:02AM

Aren't Green and Black's also owned by Mondelez?
