As is Dairy Milk IMO

Try any Swiss/Belgian/German chocolate instead - substantially better rather than being pumped full of hydrogenated fat.

Unfortunately I have been on a diet since November so the big bar of Toblerone in my kitchen remains untouched

Ever tried Herschey's?

That must be the worst in the world and would have you screaming 'Come back Cadbury's all is forgiven!'

That's exactly what I was thinking! How can anyone invent and sell, something that smells and tastes like chocolate covered sick?

Yeah, a couple of my colleagues are American and bring it back from the US. Not the best.

Reece's peanut butter cups are awesome though.

I'm surprised they didn't pass off the reduction in size as part of the fight against obesity. They are reducing the size of the bar to protect us from ourselves, and they are doing this public service for free!

Good old Cadbury's they do have a social conscience after all!

Nice thinking, but I think the word is "did".

No more proof required than having a social conscience is not good for business. Ask Kraft!

dairy milk is not real chocolate it is sugary milky crap.
Try some proper stuff with at least 50% cocoa content dairy milk has only 20%

If only it were Cadbury/Kraft alone at this nasty game. Two of my local fish and chip shops have recently cut portion sizes and increased prices.

There's some serious inflation going on while our useless Parliament sleeps. Or, alternatively, quietly condones to inflate away debt.

Cadbury's also own Green and Blacks.

I like the Lindt very dark chocolates myself. 70%+ cocoa eaten alone or made into hot chocolate:

Whisk 3 or 4 pieces into a mug of warm full fat milk. Add a tsp of regular or vanilla sugar and a little dark rum if that's your thing.
