Advantages: great size, ideal for kids, cost,
Disadvantages: not the best chocolate available,
I have just returned from my local Tesco express, with some essentials we were running out of, whilst there I stopped in the chocolate aisle to see if there was anything that would take my fancy, when I spotted a Cadbury's dairy milk bar at only 8p, yes you read right 8p!!! Thinking that these are an ideal size for Toby as a treat I picked up a few.
Packaging
~*~*~*~*~
When you think of Cadbury's chocolate wrapping, you will always think of the nice bright purple colour foil, with white Cadbury logo. Well this bar is just the same, it looks just like the standard dairy milk bar, except the logo and other writing is printed vertically down the front. As these bars are smaller than the standard and are aimed at children, they also contain pictures of stars, moons, rockets and planets made from chocolate.
As always it contains all the relevant info you normally find on products nowadays. The only thing it doesn't tell me and that is the weight of the bar.
Chocolate
~*~*~*~*~
As you open the wrapper you can smell the familiar Cadbury chocolate aroma, but when you take it from the wrapper you find a fairly thin chocolate bar, which is slightly thicker around the outside, you will also see that it is divided into 3 sections, the middle section is raised to the same level as the outer edge, and contains the Cadbury logo. The other sections contain raised chocolate pictures of the same pictures you found on the wrapper.
I'm sure most of you reading this have tried Cadbury's chocolate at some time in your life and will know what it tastes like, but for those who haven't, it tastes creamy, smooth, melts slowly in your mouth and gives a pleasurable chocolate fix. It is not as creamy as Galaxy chocolate. As it is milk chocolate it doesn't have the bitter taste that plain chocolate gives you.
My thoughts
~*~*~*~*~
I do like to eat chocolate, (which I think some of you already know!!) if I could eat it all the time I would, but knowing that it does put the pounds on, I try to limit myself to just a little a day. Depending on my mood and what sort of day I've had I have been known to open a large 250g bar and once opened, it has soon been finished. Therefore this bar that I have reviewed could be the answer I need, and the reason why you should consider buying it too.
I have weighed this bar and calculated the figures and have worked out that this bar is approximately 21g, for this you will only consume 110 calories, 6.3g fat, and only for 8p
I have researched Dairy milk bars on the internet and found that a standard 49g bar will cost you 41p: if you bought the equivalent weight in kids bars you would only need to buy 2 and a bit bars, costing you approx 19p.
If you bought the 250g bar for £1.28, you could have bought 11 kids sized bars for 95p. If you think about it, I'm sure you could quite easily eat a whole250g bar, but would you feel good about eating 11 little bars???? I feel that buying them smaller and wanting a chocolate fix I could reduce the chocolate I eat and therefore reducing the calories and fat I consume, meaning I wouldn't have to work so hard at the gym! (If only, lol.)
You can purchase a multi-pack of the kids bars, Tesco are currently selling these in a six pack for 82p, still working out cheaper than the standard bars, but at 13.5p each.
I can't remember the last time I bought a chocolate bar for so few pence. When I was younger I bought Curly wurlies for 10p, I know that some of you are a little older than me and will have probably bought chocolate for less.
I will definitely be buying a few more of these to keep for Toby (and me!!) as special treats, and considering how much chocolate Toby gets down him when he is eating it, at 8p you really can't go wrong.
I'd love to know if any of you find these for sale cheaper than 8p.

Summary: A small chocolate bar from Cadbury's that works out cheaper than buying larger bars.
