Advantages: Delicious, chocolatey, nice to have with a cuppa Disadvantages: Fattening & unfortunately rather more-ish
I've been bad! With my diet that is. I had a ridiculously bad craving for a choc dip when I got home from work yesterday, so Séa and I went off on a mission to find me a pack. Obviously all the garages and newsagents open around that time have boycotted choc dips because I couldn't find one anywhere. But I was still craving something chocolatey & biscuity, and I spotted a box of Cadburys Fingers. So, the 'breaking the diet justification' debate began ... ...I've been to the gym, I'm only going to have one or two (well, maybe three ... ) and it gives me an excuse to do a Ciao op tomorrow that isn't confined to the café. Having now happily justified my purchase to myself, I trotted off home to read the paper and have a choccy finger.

You can buy these from supermarkets, some larger newsagents and I bought mine from the local garage down the road from ...

Advantages: very tasty, Disadvantages: too many might make you fat
I do get great pleasure in sticking my fingers, (no not there, behave yourselves) of cause I'm talking about putting my chocolate fingers in my mouth.
I have always liked these chocolate treats, they remind me of my childhood, as when ever I got invited to a friends birthday party, you could always guarantee that you would find a plate full of these little chocolate fingers. Problem was they were the first thing to run out, there were never enough ... ...the one and only Cadburys, who are one of the most popular manufacturers of chocolate, make them. They have for years come in an rectangle box, but now you can buy a multipack, which normally contains 12 small individual packs, which cost around £1.Each little pack contains three mini chocolate fingers and at the moment you can find special packs containing 18 mini packs instead of 12 for the same price. These are great for packed lunches, for kids ...

...“deliciously crisp biscuits covered with Cadbury milk chocolate”. Just to clear something up, I haven’t actually tried bending them. Well, not yet anyway. The box I bought is also advertising Free Cinema tickets from UCI on a 2 for 1 basis by collecting tokens found on promotional packs.
On biting into them, from what I can remember (I haven’t opened them, I swear), you get the taste of delicious Cadbury’s Milk Chocolate. ... ...biscuit that is almost like shortbread but not as sweet. It’s no good just eating one, in fact I’d be very surprised if anyone could eat just one as they’re so moreish. They’re great for buffets for kids and adults alike and you can do loads of things with them. You can eat them a whole one at a time. You can break them in half. Or, if you’re like me, you can annoy everyone around you by your way down them hamster style ...

I can't resit Cadburys fingers, these biscuits have been in my memory since I was a little girl.
They were bought on special occasions like birthday or christmas get togethers.
I have just been to Safeways and they are on offer for just 39p a packet, limited to 3 packets per customer or I would have bought more, still I can go back again on the pretence that I have forgotten something.
The packets are the unmistakable cadburys purplely blue, once ... ...the oblong packet and there's pictures of the finger biscuits on the front.
The packs are 150g but when you open them you get aroung 28 finger biscuits inside.
The smell of the chocolate hits your nose when you open the packet and your mouth will water at the anticipation of the taste. These are bite size and can be popped into the mouth in one go, or they snap in half for the crunchy experience.
I'm nearly convincing myself to eat one. No No ...

I am having a busy night of ciao-ing and just went to the cupboard looking for something to nibble on and spotted a box of chocolate fingers! Just the job for popping in my mouth in between commenting on all your reviews.
Then I had a bit of a brainwave and decided that I would do a review on them, so here goes...............
Cadburys Chocolate fingers have been around for as long as I can remember. The packaging has changed slightly over the years, ... ...around forever.
I don't really know what it is that is so appealing about them as they are a very simple biscuit, but maybe thats why we don't tend to get sick of them. Sometimes the simpler the better!
Anyway, for anyone who hasn't yet indulged in the finger, I will give you the facts:-
PACKAGING:-
They come in a oblong box, available in 2 sizes, either holding 1 tray of biscuits or 2.
The box is a rich purple colour, with a row of chocolate ...

One finger, one thumb keep moving, one finger, one thumb keep moving…. Sorry these little fingers are driving me insane. I can’t stop eating them, let alone thinking about them.
Cadburys chocolate fingers make great party food, but they suit my taste buds even better. Who would have thought, a bit of biscuit covered in chocolate could be so satisfying? Well believe me it can. It kept me happy last night, and I’ll say no more!!
... ...your 150g box you are presented with: -

- 40.35g fat
- Approx 30 choccie fingers (that’s 26 cals per finger)

The box slightly resembles a box of Milk tray (purple box with white running through it). It isn’t too difficult to work out why when you know they are both made by Cadbury.

...biscuit available now in the Cadbury finger biscuit range there is a milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate caramel and crunchy variety as well as the giant finger. There are also mini finger biscuits available usually come in a pack designed for snacks.
I have some of these biscuits at a children’s party recently. These chocolate fingers are usually very easy to find most supermarkets stock them.

These biscuits are like a cylindrical finger not a flat finger like you might call a finger of toast .So now lets take a bite off the biscuit now no sucking we don’t want a chocolaty mess . Ok, so you have taken a bite and savored the chocolate, This is a good dark chocolate flavour not as bitter as some other dark chocolate personally ...

In true female style when I’m ill I comfort myself with pampering and chocolate. Yesterday it was Lush, today there’s half a packet of Cadbury’s chocolate fingers with my name on it.
Weighing in a 150g a box fingers are really meant for sharing, but I’m on my own today and I can’t leave them languishing in the fridge can I? However this is not something I can make a habit of, at 500 calories and 23g of fat per 100g these pack a mighty punch in the ... ...a number of different varieties:
Classic
Basic biscuit fingers covered in dairy milk chocolate, about the size of my ‘up yours’ finger. These are the most common and the ones most of us will have tried. They’re nice and moreish, good for dunking in tea and sucking all the chocolate off.
Extra Crunchy:
My personal favourite these are similar to the classic variety but the biscuit is crunchier. A first I though it was a gimmick and they were just ...

Advantages: great taste Disadvantages: can be frustrating to eat
I'm sure we have all sampled Cadbury's fingers at some point during our lives.
They have been around for what seems like an eternity. I remember them as a schoolboy in the nineteen eighties . A must for any lunchbox !Any confectionary product that has survived this competitive market so long must have something going for it .
The first thing to say about them is they are different from many other rivals with their finger shape. Fairly long and ... ...and thickness of my little finger .
In marketing terms they are different and distinctive and therefore people remember them as they stand out from the rest.
The fingers come in four flavours - milk chocolate, caramel , white and crunchy . They are also available as mini fingers . At Christmas particularly , but even all year round now ,I 've noticed you can now buy them in tins.This is instead of the usual box .I've worked it out the tins contain ...

Advantages: crisp, good chocolate Disadvantages: expensive for families, lots of fat
Cadbury's Milk Chocolate (little) Fingers have been on the market ever since 'Adam was a lad', as the expression goes. In common with several other chocolate favourites like 'Walnut Whip' and 'Wagon Wheel', they have shrunk.
I did wonder if these biscuits just appeared bigger to me when I had smaller hands but since my hands are still quite small, I don't think this is the case. Cadbury's Chocolate fingers have gone from being average sized index ... ...product more appealing? Does it heck? We all like big chocolate fingers! (Well, most of us do.)
So, what are these biscuits anyway?
They are (pinkie-sized) fingers of shortcake biscuit, dipped in Cadbury's milk chocolate. I believe that you can still get them dipped in white chocolate, but I haven't seen these for a while. The biscuit is crisp and melts in your mouth and the chocolate is up to the usual standard we would aexpect from a company ...

Advantages: One tiny finger can't be bad for you Disadvantages: But can you stop at just one?
Our landlord, like bad King John, has his little ways. There's the way he demands the rent in cash, the way he sits in our living-room counting it and gloating, the way he replaces worn-out furniture with only slightly less worn-out furniture. But like King John, and like Scrooge with whom he also has much in common, at Christmas he has a change of heart. That's when we get our hamper.
It's actually a cardboard box decorated with wrapping-paper, ... ...same every year: chocolates, whisky, dates, nuts, shortbread. Very nice too. There are always a few tins of fancy biscuits, and this year I was delighted to find a tin of Cadbury's Fingers - an essential treat at birthday parties of my childhood, but not something I'd indulged in for some years.
These large tins have been around for donkey's years; they were very fashionable when I was at school, used as jumbo-size pencil cases by those pupils who ...

Advantages: Taste great and the special offer is spot on! Disadvantages: The dreaded calories!!!
This has to be one of my best bargains yet – and on something SO delicious! I had a leaflet from my local Safeway store to say that they were selling Cadburys Fingers at 39p per pack instead of their usual £1.09 per pack. As I like to shop in Asda I took the leaflet with me on my next shopping trip.
For those of you who don’t know this may sound a little strange but Asda do what they call Admatch. This means that, providing you take evidence of ... ...better…….
The price of Cadburys Fingers in Asda is usually 97p per pack, a more sensible price than Safeway’s but that’s Asda for you. At the moment they are selling two packs for £1.50, making a reduction of 44p on the total price of the two packs.
Are you with me so far? Yes? Good!
So I took my two packs to the checkout where I showed my Safeway’s leaflet and got them for 39p, but when the till had registered two items the reduction of 44p was ...

Advantages: You have to eat the whole box, no option. Disadvantages: You will put on serious weight!
Cadburys Chocolate Fingers are something of a mystery to me. Each week I buy a packet yet I can never seem to find them when we get back home. I think there is some evil magic occurring. I have however tasted them and I can see why they seem to vanish all the time. The box we get is 125g and is predominately purple with the branding and product name on the front and an image of a line of fingers with a little note saying "one may lead to another" ... ...The crisp biscuits covered in milk chocolate contain: Milk chocolate (48%) (milk, sugar, cocoa mass, vegetable fat, emulsifier (soya lecithin), flavourings) Wheat flour Vegetable fat Sugar Partially inverted sugar syrup Salt Raising agents (sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate) Flavourings The box does something great too (well kind of), it gives the damage of how good they are for you (or not) per finger, rather than having to work out how many ...

...lover he is I saw Cadbury Fingers on a buy one get one free.
They come in the usual distinctive Cadbury colour box and are in 125g boxes.
They have four different flavours.
Original - a finger shaped biscuit with a layer of Cadburys chocolate. Extra Crunchy - These are the same as above only the biscuit has more of a crunch to it.
White Chocolate - The standard biscuit with a Cadburys white chocolate coating (too sickly for me.
Caramel - These ... ...on the outside coated with chocolate.
Mini finger - These are just the same only mini fingers in a tub! Haven't tries these though.
The boxes are all 97p and on a buy one get one free it's a good deal.
