Dairy Milk tastes just as good to me.

Donning my hard hat and flame proof suit.
I have a feeling it is only me 😣
I have been reading threads for a while now about how horrible Cadbury's chocolate is these days.
Every single time I think, god, I can't bloody taste the difference.
What the hell

I don’t dislike it, but I do find it a bit more sickly, like it’s weirdly sweet, can only take a few bites

I can't tell the difference either. I do wonder how many people would think the taste had changed if it hadn't been widely publicised....

Can't help as I've always (even as a child) found it taste awful.

Same with Galaxy.

Far too sickly, fatty and sweet.

Thornton's chocolate is equally vile.

I've no idea because milk chocolate always tastes disgustingly sweet to me. Give me a tiny bit of a really bitter dark chocolate & I'm happy.

I wasn’t aware that the taste change had been publicised?

I remember finding DM horrible in the early 2000s but since around the time they brought back the wispa I think they're back on track.

However I do think the taste has suffered badly from the change from foil wrapping to plastic. Easter egg chocolate is the best chocolate - the foil just seems to make it taste fresher somehow

Try melting it in a bowl it just sort of sits there in a glob.

Yep Agreed I had a Dairy Milk Easter Egg. And it was lovely. I bought it for £1 after Easter for the mug. The shape is perfect for my cappucinos.

I still love it!

I tried a bar of Dairy Milk today for the first time in ages. Commented to my DP how disappointing it was. It tastes....cheap.

I do like a Wispa though. Maybe the bubbles in the structure of the bar improve the flavour as well as the texture.

I agree that it tastes a lot of more sickly than I remembered. Much prefer Crunchie or Galaxy.

I used to eat tonnes of chocolate, but now I don't really bother. It all tastes so...so... synthetic? I'm hugely against palm oil production anyway, so I've just stopped buying it.

It tastes the same to me too. So do crème eggs.

I didn't know they'd changed the recipe and thought my tastes must be changing. It tastes like wax to me now

Have a square of Dairy Milk and then a square of Ritter Sport or Tonys Chocolonely and then tell me you can't taste a difference. Dairy Milk is just sweet, not chocolately and kind of just goes lumpy and claggy in your mouth.

I think it tastes of nothing except greasy brown coloured sweet wax.
I suppose if you had nothing to compare it to it might appear ok.

I didn’t even bother with Cadbury’s cream eggs this year they’re so shite.

Not just you OP.

When I read this type of thread I always think I must be terribly unsophisticated in my tastes as unlike the majority of posters, I have no problem eating galaxy, dairy milk, creme eggs...in large quantities

It's not just you.I like Cadbury's and Galaxy. Chocolate is just chocolate at the end of the day. Except for Thornton's overpriced horrible stuff.

I haven’t noticed a difference either.

I love chocolate and I can’t taste the difference either but I like sweet things.

Cadbury & galaxy are my favourite. I also like Lindt and il go for nestle too occasionally.

I can notice the change in chocolate bar form but things like Easter eggs I can’t notice. Maybe it’s the thickness of the chocolate?
It changed around the time I was pregnant/gave birth so I initially put it down to my tastebuds changing

The new "adult" chocolate they've brought out was wholly disappointing. Just tasted cheap

I love Cadbury's chocolate but noticed a difference in the taste of their eggs this year. I thought it was just me! And considered changed my toothpaste as I thought It was giving the weird aftertaste I was experiencing!

It definitely tastes different but I'll still eat it until the cows come home!
