    Anyone else think these bars of chocolate are delicious?

    I'm not a lover of chocolate and confectionery in general, but these bars are GOOD.

    Seriously in danger of turning the country into a nation of fatties!

    HUGE bars in stores now for €2! Get them in your belly!

    I'd rather not, they have a bad reputation when it comes to hygiene and salmonella.

    had a small bar of the popping candy/jelly one - the first bit is a novelty but then it just gets ordinary - wouldn't be rushing out to get another. meh

    I will tell you what is disgusting tho...absolutely disgusting... the tayto chocolate bars. Did you ever eat stale tayto - thats whats in them. rank

    Are you sure? I've never heard of any problems with Cadburys.

    I usually wouldn't be a fan of mixing fruity flavours in my chocolate but that's a few times I've heard they're delicious. Must try them.

    Also, Tayto bars are lovely. Golden crisp texture with a tayto after taste. Yum yum yum.

    Hmmm. An incident 7 years ago. I think I'll take my chances.

    My local is offering a free shot in exchange for a tayto bar, people are desperate to try them.

    I'd rather sit down with a bag of tayto, a dairy milk and a can of coke.

    I had one of those maltesers bars and I didn't like it. I thought it was going to be like the maltesers bunny and it wasn't :(

    Google cadburys and salmonella.

    A (very stupid) change of their internal safety procedures 7 years ago resulted in about 50 people getting sick and cost the company roughly £50m not including the loss of business fom that point on.
    I'd say they've learned their lesson, I think you'd be safe enough risking a bar or two!

    I love Cadburys's. I stock up whenever I'm home and anyone who is coming to visit won't be getting in unless they bring some. House rules.

    I had the other one of those new Cadbury's bars (not the jelly and popping candy one) and it was pretty crap. Also those Tayto bars are really terrible

    having one of them bars would be the equivalent of giving someone a shot of sour milk. they are yuk

    tell him to open a bag of tayto - leave them in a damp place for a few days, and then eat them with a square of chocolate. horrible.

    If you are in Dublin you can buy Top Deck in a South African shop in town called Jabula. When I got to SA I bring back massive bars if it. :)

    I want some now. I'm 8 months pregnant and have a serious craving. Is it worth waddling in there I wonder?!

    Damn you Dr Bollocko for putting the idea in my head

    I'm aware if that - I meant waddle in to the SA shop in town!

    I was shaking my first at him for mentioning it in the first place. I had some golden crisp instead but it didn't quite scratch the itch!

    The popping candy doesn't need the chewy bits. I hate it when jelly sweets like that get stuck in my teeth. The one with peanuts on the other hand is chocolate crack.

    €1.67 in a large supermarket chain (begins with 'T').

    I'm not sure about these bars. I guess I'll have to continue with the testing program...

    Nyom...
