Cadbury Twirl Review

One of the reasons we decided to create our international snack blog was my personal love of British snacks.  Finding snacks from England here in the United States isn’t always an easy thing.  Well, earlier this year we decided to open an international snack store and started offering British Snacks for Sale online here in the US.  Now we get to try all the British snacks and offer the very best for sale.  One of my favorite British Chocolate Bars is the Cadbury Flake and our snack under review today looks like it’s a distant relative.  So needless to say, I am personally ecstatic to be reviewing the Cadbury Twirl!

Oddly enough I was unfamiliar with the Cadbury Twirl prior to this review. What makes it odd is I lived in the UK for a decent amount of time as a child in 90s and this British snack has been offered for sale since the 70s.  What’s even stranger, the Cadbury Twirl is the best-selling chocolate bar in the UK.  Although I missed it in the UK, I will not miss it in our international snack store! So let’s take a closer look.

Our British Chocolate Bar under review comes in a shinny Cadbury purple wrapper.  Their logo halos the “T” in the fun and very yellow “Twirl” text across the length of the bar.  Their slogan is place along the width of the bar and reads “The Intense Chocolate Hit”.  On the back, a bunch of normal necessary jargon and some text that reads “2 Milk Chocolate Fingers”, a term Cadbury likes to us often.  But, unless you are blind you probably know all this, so onto our review of the Cadbury Twirl.

Although I had an idea before we started this taste test that the Twirl was similar to the Cadbury Flake, I didn’t realize that the ingredients are nearly identical.  Other than the fact the Flake is longer, and the Twirl comes in two bars that are covered in chocolate, they are on paper-nearly indistinguishable.  My knowledge of the ingredients came post taste test.  So our reviewers were unaware of the ingredients and both familiar with the Flake.  Our reviewers all stated they prefer the Flake to the Twirl.  Which is odd.  Shouldn’t more chocolate be an improvement on a Chocolate Bar?  Well in our opinion it is not.  For those of you following our snack blog that are unfamiliar with the Flake, it’s folded chocolate that crumbles when you take a bite.  It’s messy, but fun and delicious at the same time.  The Twirl’s extra chocolate coating helps make it easier to eat, but takes away from what we all love.  Also for some reason, the chocolate just taste’s better with the Flake.  However, it may just be a texture thing.
