Cadbury's milk tray - what happened?

Was given one as a present. A nice thought but ........ Every flavour tastes exactly the same, no fruit flavour in the strawberry etc. Just generic vaguely chocolate-y shapes Filled with the same sweet paste. Well OK the nut ones were slightly crunchy.

It's a travesty of how they used to be - I won't buy them and will try to make sure nobody gives them to me again. Yuck! What a shame they've been ruined.

Yes it's all for the sake of cheap manufacturing, and the new owners don't care I suppose. A shame Cadbury's allowed themselves to be bought out.

True that American chocolate seems to be rubbish, but at least the new Cadbury's stuff is still a bit nicer than Hersheys, which is the main American chocolate brand I think? A few years ago DD brought back some Hersheys from the USA and we ended up binning them. They have a hint of vomit flavour, disgusting!

Hersheys do have the vomit tang to them. Awful 🤮🤮🤮

Cadbury is generally crap these days.

Just overly sweet and oily rather than creamy.

I saw an ad on FB of an independent chocolatier who used to work for Cadbury and their original chocolate balls are supposed to be a very close recipe to old DM.

I might have to try and report back.

For YOU GUYS, obviously.

It's a thankless task but somebody's got to do it 😁

I’d rather treat myself to a small bar of Tony’s than a whole box of cadburys. Really tasty, fair trade and no palm oil.

I love Tony's, particularly the hazelnut one and the pretzel one. M&S bars in similar packaging are also very good (though I'm not sure how they criticise Aldi for ripping them off when they do the same to other brands!) This evening I had a very small bar of Green & Black's ginger dark chocolate and it was delicious

I'm still not over the demise of Terry's All Gold in dark chocolate.

Yes I agree. They used to be really nice. But now as you say kind of over-sweet and samey-tasting.
