I always think that Cadburys are fairly boring with their chocolate and so was shocked when I saw these new combination chocolate bars from them - "Bar of Plenty". I am assuming it is a new idea from Kraft, rather than the original Cadburys guys! The bar was on offer at Tescos last week for £1 so I thought it was worth a try for that price - I was wrong!! These bars were released in February and there are 3 types: Roast Hazelnut and Honey Roast Cashews, Berry Fruit and Vanilla Shortcake and Toffee Apple. The one I bought was Toffee Apple. The bar is nice to look at. The packaging is the classic purple Cadburys wrapping. It has ...  Read the complete review

Launched in February 2010 by Cadbury this is the first big launch by takeover kings Kraft. It is the newest addition to the flavoured chocolate range which already includes products like Fruit and Nut, Apricot Crumble and Cranberry and Granola. There are three flavours in the new Dairy Milk 'Bar of Plenty' range: Toffee Apple, Roast Hazelnut and Honey Roast Cashews and Berry Fruit and Vanilla Shortbread Variety. It seems that Cadbury/Kraft have taken a leaf out of the Walkers crisps book and decided to excite consumers by inventing a whole lot of shocking and inventive flavours. In this review I'll be referring to the Berry Fruit and Vanilla ...  Read the complete review

Something odd must of come over those folks at Cadbury. How else does one explain these craz-eee new creations? I love Cadburys, I really do. I am their handmaiden infact. But they have become rather dull in recent times. Every 'new' thing they come out with seems to be simply a variation on cadbury caramel in some form or another. Untill now.. Waltzing around Tesco like I do (well not actually waltzing, that would be strange) I spied a display of NEW Cadbury bars, at the special offer price of £1. Woohoo! I love newness! Let's embrace the chocolate excitement. The bars have been given the name "Bar of Plenty". Hmm. I'm sure there's ...  Read the complete review

Cadburys Dairy Milk, bar of Plenty range berry fruit and vanilla shortcake is one of their new ranges. Perhaps new ought to be said a bit tongue in cheek because I`m sure they made this years ago and have just revived it. I am a massive fan of Cadburys and am admittedly a chocoholic, my partner says I`m the only person than can peel a 2.5kg bar in my pocket and eat it without anyone knowing... This bar has failed to impress me, I like the packet which is the usually CDM colours and the picture of the piece on the front makes your mouth drool but I feel its got too much shortcake and not enough berry , so much so that I feel it "chews" ...  Read the complete review

I have just bought a bar of this new creation by Cadbury, and I admit it was an impulse buy but for £1 who cares. (think this was on promotion, I didn't notice anything past how yummy it looked) I have been saying for weeks how I miss Dairy Milk with Biscuit, so seeing this seemed like the answer to my prayers. On the very mysterious, Willy Wonka-looking packaging, it is described as being 'berry fruit & vanilla shortcake' and since the name is bar of plenty, I was expecting it to be jam packed with these new ingredients. I was right, each little piece (3 of which contains 90 calories, which seems a lot at first but a Cadbury Freddo is around ...  Read the complete review
