Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar

In only 20 days our online international snack store will open for business.  For the past year our team of snack experts have sampled cookies, chips, cakes, and sweets from 27 different countries.  Starting January 1st we will offer the best British Snacks for sale online in the US and shipped around the world. Each month after we will add a new country to our inventory. Leading up to the launch of our store we are sampling a British Snack that we will offer every day.  Todays snack is chocolate bar made by Nestle.

Nestle is a mega snack company that if ranked by revenue is the biggest producer of food and beverages in the world!  Nestle is based out of Vevey, Switzerland and is technically not a British Snacks Brand.  However Nestle is a major player in England and this British Chocolate Bar was initially produced by a company that was based in England.  In fact, that is where the name of this candy comes from.  It was manufactured in York!  Previously we took a look at the Nestle Lion Bar; today we are reviewing the Nestle Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar.

Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar was developed as a chunkier alternative to the well-received Cadbury Dairy Milk.  Their original approach was aimed towards manly men and even showed truck drivers eating the Yorkie in television commercials.  At one time the bar read “ Yorkie Not for Girls” and it was believed by some that was they thought.  Luckily they later came to their senses and removed the sexist slogan from their packaging.  Other than the removal of the saying, the Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar has looked the same for quite some time.  It comes in a shinny blue wrapper with yellowish orange lettering.

 At one time the bar read “ Yorkie Not for Girls” and it was believed by some that was they thought. 

Since this British Candy Bar has a history of being sexist we wanted to make sure we included a girl on the taste test panel.  The Nestle Yorkie Original is absolutely for girls!  Out of all the testers the one who enjoyed this snack from England the most was the only female on the panel.  That being said we all enjoyed the candy bar.  So much so that we contacted our supplier and ordered the Yorkie Biscuits to sample.  This milk chocolate bar is indeed chunky.  It comes in 5 large pieces.  The chocolate is smooth, rich, and creamy.  Although it's sweet, unlike some of the other British chocolate bars we have recently reviewed it is not overly sweet.  For some reason I personally felt the need to compare it the Hershey Chocolate Bar.  The Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar is far superior!  Never had a Hershey Bar?  Not to worry American Snacks will be added to our snack store starting February 1st.

We are excited to find the Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar and can’t wait to offer for sale in the US and shipped worldwide.  A future segment we will include on World of Snacks is going to be a short video series of recipes that include candy.  We know the Yorkie Original Chocolate Bar will be one of our most included ingredients.  We invite your to leave your details to the right to keep in touch and be updated on new features and receive promotional offers.  Keep snacking!
