Cadbury Crunchie

For once, Deano’s actually had a good idea. I’m not the world’s biggest chocoholic, and have no plans for a sex change in the near future either ;) but I knew straightaway what my favourite chocolate bar for his monster challenge was. There’s not much point trying to build suspense, I assume you’ve all guessed from the category that it’s Cadbury’s Crunchie. I rarely buy any sweets or chocolate myself (crisps being my real downfall), but it just so ...
...that sounds virtuous? Let me tell you all I’ve eaten so far today is a Cadbury’s fudge bar and a packet of crisps, so much for a healthy lunch now… The Packaging Crunchie comes in a distinctive golden wrapper, with the word Crunchie written on in big red letters, that look like they’re bouncing around a bit. It’s not overly fancy, but easy to spot on a shelf. It’s normally quite easy to open, which is good cos otherwise your chocolate would melt. ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

As a child, I wasn't all that keen on Crunchie bars. So for years I didn't eat them - there are, after all, many other good types of chocolate available. Then I learned that they're one of my husband's favourite bars, and I also discovered that it's possible to buy them in bags of mini-bars as well as the more usual full-length Crunchie bar. So I bought a bag of the small Crunchie bars. I tried one, thinking that if I still didn't like it, I could ...
...surprise, it was delicious! Since then, Crunchie bars have been a regular feature of our chocolate collection. • General appearance • The ordinary Crunchie bars are packaged in golden coloured wrappings, and are about 15cm long. The mini-bars are about half that size, wrapped the same way, and then packed in orange bags which have only a purple stripe and a small logo to inform customers that they're made by Cadbury's. Probably they're familiar ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

...it as a threat. Cadbury is written on the label as the Crunchie is a part of Cadbury, and we are to. Once we gain access to the inside of the wrapper what do we find, we find chocolate, and why do we find it, because this is a chocolate bar. It is, however, misleading as it’s only a thin layer of chocolate and just below the surface the true nature of the beast is revealed to be a golden honeycomb centre, a centre which is found at the middle of ...
...inspection, and if we are not allowed further inspections we shall shout louder until we get them, I have found that it fits right inside my mouth (sideways). I would assume that this is so I can take a bite, just one bite; I have no wish to occupy the Crunchie. Hmmm the chocolate melts in my mouth, and then I can taste the honeycomb sweetness, if the French had a word for delicious it would be chuncie. If I wanted to, and in the past I have and ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

...In 1824 John Cadbury opened a small shop in Birmingham selling mainly tea. He also sold cocoa and drinking chocolate which he prepared himself with a mortar and pestle. Cocoa and drinking chocolate were introduced to England in the 1650’s when they were seen as luxury items. By 1842 John Cadbury had experimented with the cocoa and drinking chocolate and was selling 16 sorts of drinking chocolate and eleven cocoas. In 1866 a new process was introduced ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

Okay after that terrible Cadbury’s Instant Break Chocolate I had to get that nasty taste out of my mouth so it was time for Cadbury’s to redeem them selves and aid me in this task by way of their Crunchie bar which brings me to the sixth of my ten choccy ops. Now I have not had one of these in years so I had forgotten how nice they actually are so this was a good start by all means as it was like trying something for the first time as it had literally ...
...these. For the life of me I don’t know why I have not picked one of these up in the last 15 years or thereabouts but as fate would have it I did indeed buy one when I purchased the other nine bars which I bought last Saturday in my local Spar shop for the price of 36 pence. =[ Like I have stated before, it’s all in the name of good research !! ]= =[ Note to self … Gabe, I don’t think they are buying it !! ]= Anyway this particular bar weighs in ...

The taste is a familiar one, that's of soft toffee over powering a rather undetectable chocolate at first, but if you suck it you can taste the recognisable Cadbury trademark taste with it all resulting in a sweet after taste that's got a more-ish quality to ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

...and Sons, it became a Cadbury product after a corporate merger took place. Oh this bit is interesting... Crunchie Bars are manufactered in the UK,the honeycomb sponge toffee is made in large slabs. Because cutting the slab with a blade would cause it to fall apart and using a water jet would lead to the toffee slab melting they developed a highly focussed jet of oil that can success fully cut sharp edged portions. If I am honest with myself the ...
...25p each, what a bargain! Cadbury have packaged their Cunchie Bar as if it were a gold nugget, the long slender honeycomb bar is snuggled inside of the golden plastic sleeve. The purple Cadbury logo is featured on the top left of the plastic sleeve and the word `Crunchie` is boldly printed in vivid red lettering. The gold plastic sleeve is easily opened, no combination to remember, just make a small tear at the top and you away you go. Just edge ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

I'll confess to already having written ops on the bars I love most, but the challenge did include the option of expression darkest loathing. I shall take an opposing stance to the good folks who have enthused about the virtues of this bar and say 'Crunchie.....No!' Ok, when you first get a Crunchie bar, you are presented with nice looking wrapping and a decent sized indulgence for your money. Open it up and you see what looks like some nice chocolate, ...
...Cadbury's bar, the chcolate is indeed rather nice (not fair trade yet though) - rich but not too rich, not too milky, just the right level of sweetness, just the right texture - not likely to crumble all over you, not too sticky. Ten out of ten for the chocolate. The problem is what you get inside said chocolate. At first bite, I find myself thinking 'its not as bad as I remember' - the sweet yellowy honeycomb seems pleasant enough. A bit hard perhaps. ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

There seem to have been loads of chocolate reviews in the last few weeks. I have found it really frustrating as I am on a very long term special diet and can't eat chocolate any more! However, as a sort of palliative, I have decided to write an opinion on my lifelong favourite, Cadbury's Crunchie. I am sure that a Crunchie bar is familiar to most of you, but in case there is anyone out there who has never encountered the oral delights of this immensely ...
...is a rectangular chocolate bar approximately six inches long. It is very hard to bite into, but it is well worth it. Inside the thin layer of delicious Cadbury's chocolate is a wonderful, rock hard honeycomb centre, full of bubbles. The taste is sublime but it can be a bit sickly. Crunchie has been around for a long time now. It was launched in 1929 by Fry's,(of Turkish Delight fame). It is one of Cadbury's most popular chocolate bars and has been ...

...brands. According to the Cadbury website the product positioning on the Crunchie is that of a fun, feel good chocolate bar. This may explain those adverts of old promising you ‘that Friday feeling’ by eating a Crunchie. These adverts always annoyed me because they were invariably shown on a Monday. Thankfully, though, I have not seen one of these adverts for years. The Crunchie can be bought singly in a standard size at most supermarkets and newsagents. ...

As if that wasn’t enough you can also buy Cadbury’s Dairy Milk with Crunchie pieces inside. The wrapper of the Crunchie is largely gold with bizarre yellow and white specks ...

Price and package ----------------------- Cadbury Crunchie comes in a golden wrapper. Each bar is 40 g but now I saw that a treat size is available too.

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

Crunchie is one of those chocolate bars that I associate fondly with my childhood yet still eat a lot now. It has been around for a very long time, since 1929 when it was first introduced to the market by J.S Fry & Son's (though it is now owned by Cadbury's). I like it when chocolate bars/sweets have been around for such a long time - I associate Crunchie with the 80's but to think there were children such as my Grandfather and children in the second ...
...hasn't changed from the 80's as far as I remember - a shiny gold wrapper with 'Crunchie' written across in red bubble writing and purple tingged ends. It really grabs your attention! One thing that surprises me about Crunchie is its size - when you really look at it it's actually quite big, I can't believe I wolfed that all down as a child! When you open the packet there is definitely a distinctive smell to it - almost a sweet caramel flavour mingled ...

Review of Cadbury Crunchie

I rise to the challenge, Deano....this ones for you! *packaging* Cadburys Crunchie bar is wrapped in a golden shiny foil wrapper with the words 'Crunchie' accross the front in big bubble writing in a bright red colour. The 'I' of the cruchie has a little yellow star as the 'dot'-if that makes sense! It has a short description of 'milk chocolate with golden honeycombe centre'. The word 'Cadburys' is at the top, obviously telling you this is a top ...
...as you open the packet you are greeted with a lovely sweet smell of the honeycombe. I've just had a good sniff and it smells gorgeous! The honeycombe is covered in smooth cadburys milk chocolate which you can also slightly smell. I think the smell of the honeycombe is much more over powering. As I take a bite of the bar, you notice that the chocolate layer is very thin and the honeycombe is very crunchy and is a lovely golden yellow/orange colour. ...
