Cadbury Royal Dark

Never saw a dark chocolate from Cadbury here in the States, so we thought we’d pick this up for a try. The chocolate snob in us shudder at the mere thought of even trying this, but fair is fair. So, here we go: a bit too sweet for my taste. There’s a bit of a nutty taste, but tastes like mass-market ‘dark’ chocolate.
Flip over the wrapper, and no surprise here – manufactured by Hershey under license. The do a nice attempt at making it look like a British import, but I think discerning consumers will see through it.
Thinking more about it, and it seems to have an uncanny resemblance to Hershey’s Special Dark (not as creamy, and not as sweet) and probably more like Dove’s Special Dark.

E. Wedel milk chocolate

Just how I remember this: milky, rich chocolate. 30% cocoa, 15% milk solids, here’s a nice milk chocolate bar. It’s not as rich as some other Cadbury milk chocolates that tend to linger in your mouth and give a bit more texture and flavor (clearly, we are influenced by a sincere favoristism for Flake bars). I would say that this is the milk chocolate that tastes like the nicest chocolate Easter bunnies you’ve ever received. This also has a touch of hazelnut, that makes it taste more upscale, and not as plain-jane as some of the more generic milk chocolates we’ve encountered.
Side note: E. Wedel, which makes this chocolate in Poland (home to some of the better confectionaries in Europe, IMHO), is a division of Cadbury.
Five year old’s comments: “Little milky, tastes like lemony fruit. Smooth, I like it ’cause i want to have it again.”
