To have only just noticed this about Cadbury chocolate??

[TrueFriendsStabYouInTheFront]

I have seen a lot on Mumsnet previously about Cadbury chocolate changing and not being nice, but I still thought it was nice up until literally now!

Last week I bought a creme egg, which was seriously horrible, but put it down to a bad batch maybe? Just opened a bag of mini eggs and they are foul! They even smell strange.

So have they changed the recipe yet again?

I really miss old Cadbury’s Chocolate .

I don’t even bother with Mini Eggs any more and I used to get excited when they first went on sale each year. You used to get that lovely milky Cadbury taste and now it’s just generic tasteless chocolate.

The buggers who own Cadbury's now will never bring back the original recipe. It would invite too much comparison to the current product.

I miss the decent Easter egg cups you used to get years ago with Cadbury's eggs!

H declares smarties, malteasers etc eggs are better than Cadbury's

I agree, possibly good for my waist line as chocolate was always my weak point. I still quite like galaxy, but in honesty even that's only now and again.

Give up chocolate? I don't think so. Save up and buy some decent chocolate as an occasional treat instead

I like fancy chocolate too but sometimes it just has to be Cadbury. They’re like completely different things to me.

I’ve just remembered as well I used to love the foil wrapped Santa figures they did at Christmas but they stopped using Dairy Milk in those a few years ago too. Not worth the calories.

I like Milka or Aldi's Moser Roth(?) now and I was always committed to Cadbury!

Lindt milk chocolate (milka) still tastes just the same as it always has done.
I used to love the little boxes of puppies/ chicks/ kittens that I used to be given for Easter as a child. Much better than disappointing Easter eggs which look huge and amazing but turn out to be mainly packaging with no interesting chocolate.

Not sure if you can still get them though.

We'd better educate our kids to eat the decent stuff or else it might disappear for good!

It's the palm oil! Also they changed the chocolate they use some bars on the front packaging have saying made from or contains cocoa or something like that. Anyway it never used to say that.

I won’t go near Cadbury’s now, and I used to love it (especially fruit and nut). My kids don’t even pick Cadbury’s up in a shop as they know it’s not as nice as Galaxy, Mars etc, I hope they go out of business or change it back, surely they must know that people don’t want it as it is.

When did you last have Milka? I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they're now owned by Mondelez too (in the UK, at least - I don't know about on the Continent). Milka Alpenmilch used to be amazing and I could easily wolf a whole bar in half an hour savour a chunk every few weeks, but sadly, it's now been assimilated and destroyed too.

I used to love a creme egg but the chocolate is all rough and sickly now. I now find myself buying M&Ms and mars products which I never did before but mostly buying less chocolate.

I do quite like the Cadbury’s dark milk now but it isn’t sold everywhere

Lindt milk chocolate (milka) still tastes just the same as it always has done.

Lindt isn't the same as Milka, is it? Are you in the UK - is it different elsewhere?

I knew Kraft had bought Cadbury’s in 2010, and shafted the employees. I boycotted it for years after that, until I tasted some chocolate without realising it was Cadbury’s Dairy Milk and thought “That’s disgusting.” I’d been missing it so much up till then! Not now.

Surely cadbury's profits must be going down the shitter?

Maybe they've switched to vegan chocolate. I like vegan chocolate though! Maybe they've just stopped using dairy in them?

As I always say on these threads Terry's chocolate orange is now also disgusting because of palm oil. Ritter chocolate is beautiful but plain milk is really hard to find 😞

The Cadbury factory in Ireland still uses the original recipe. You can buy it on eBay. Just search for Irish Cadbury and you'll find plenty to choose from.
It's your only Cadbury chocolate I'll eat now.

I’m a die hard Cadbury’s fan and I bought a bar the other day and balked at the taste. Bleurgh. Not happy. Wondering if their Easter eggs which normally taste wonderfully of Easter eggs will taste shit too? still may be the incentive I need to cut down on choc. It’s been my downfall for so long...

I don't buy Crème eggs anymore because they've all been opened and rewrapped in the shops (in search of a white one). I don't want chocolate other people have handled.

Cadburys isn't as nice as it used to be. It has a weird claggy, sometimes grainy texture. I prefer Lindt nowadays, or even supermarket own brand chocolate is better.

I wont buy it. I resent paying for companies to wreck the ecosystem with plantations of palm oil. They wont stop doing that until it stops being profitable.
They didn't stop using slave labour until it stopped being profitable, now the fuss has died down about that and they stopped using Fairtrade.

I reckon that, if Cadbury's held their hands up and admitted their wrongdoing, restored the proper old recipe and ingredients (in Birmingham and Somerset again) - and charged a more realistic price rather than the bargain-basement '4 for a quid' that's standard at most supermarkets - people would grumble for a week, hesitantly go out to buy some, just to complain that they were lying and then.... give it a few months and they'd be able to cock a snook at Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.

Cadburys Flake doesn't have palm oil in. I'm sure I once read it's because they can't create the flake affect with palm oil.

If we all stop buying it they will stop using bloody palm oil which is a far bigger issue than the revolting taste

I refuse even the Xmas selection packs for the kids (wrapped in shit plastic).

I LOVE Lindt chocolate. I’m assisted to their 85 per cent

So I won't try the Cadbury chocolate they have added to the sortiments over here, then.

I have recently discovered Zotter.
