Cadbury Bournville

A review on Cadbury Bournville Now, dark chocolate is not a choice I often make but today I felt like a change. So, despite the rain, I set off to buy a Cadbury Bournville - my favourite variety.

Well it just wouldn’t be fair to write so many ops about chocolate and not mention plain chocolate as I have written about and will continue to write about milk chocolate and besides it looks as though this op will keep Newfloridian happy as he keeps mentioning that he prefers plain chocolate instead of milk chocolate in his comments to my ops … not that he was hinting of course !!
