Advantages: Chocolate

Disadvantages: Not What I Expect From Cadbury!

I'm usually the first to rave about chocolate bars and especially ones made by Cadbury. But these Cadbury Boost bars really aren't my favourites I must say. I don't hate them but they're just not right to me - I'll tell you why.


If you've never had a Boost bar, they're basically slabs of crumbly milky chocolate soft nougat style stuff with crispy bits in. The bar is then wrapped in a layer of sludgy caramel and wrapped in a thick dose of Cadbury chocolate. That probably sounds really nice to a lot I'd imagine but you need to remember that this makes for an incredibly thick, sludgy, chewy bar altogether.


When you bite into this chocolate bar, you then have to spend about five minutes trying to chew it all ready to swallow! I find the crumbly stuff in the middle a bit strange tasting and together with the caramel it just tastes like a bitter-sugary mix which isn't right to me.


The Cadbury chocolate is as nice in this bar as it is in others but I don't like the way I have to keep chewing it to eat this bar. I think of chocolate as a quick fix not one I sit around chewing for ages on end. Think chocolate éclairs I guess - it's similar to those but with a stranger taste!


These are called Boost Bars because they have caffeine in them so the idea is that you get a caffeine and sugar rush from munching on one of these. I have to say I'd rather just have a cup of coffee though. Not terrible but only 2 stars from me. I'm usually a big Cadbury fan but these just aren't for me.
