Cadbury Bournville

When I was a wee fella growing up in Scotland in the 50's and 60's there wasn't nearly as much choice of choccy bars and sweeties as there is today. I can remember that my favourite chocolate bars back then were Mars Bars, Picnic, and Fry's Chocolate Cream. (And orange) My old dad's favourite was Cadbury's Bournville, a plain, dark chocolate, that I was convinced he used to eat because he knew my mum and I didn't like it, and he would get the whole bar to himself! I tried it, of course, but it used to remind me of Senopod. (or was it Senokot?) Anyways, the stuff that my mum used to give me to kick start my bowels when I would get constipated. ...  Read the complete review

I have been an unregistered reader on Dooyoo for a long time now and thought I would try my hand at a review. This is my first so please be kind. Cadbury's Bournville has been around forever and since I was a child it hasn't changed tastewise. Each mouthful of Bournville is a treat as the dark chocolate is rich with a perfect amount of sweetness. It takes longer to melt in your mouth than Cadbury's milk chocolate which serves to make the savouring of this delicious bar last all the longer. As much as I enjoy a Bournville, I am aware of better quality dark chocolate in the shops. Green & Blacks Maya Gold or Lindt 70% Cocoa Solids are the 2 best ...  Read the complete review

I remember trying this chocolate when i was younger and i didn,t like it then ithough, however recently i have tried it again after i had a sample come through the door .

I love bournville dark chocolate as made by Cadburys, I love dairy milk chocolate as well but the taste of dark chocolate is one of my favourites. Dark chocolate is literally chocolate without any additional emulsion, normally milk, milk is normally added to give the product a smoother creamier taste. Dark chocolate is chocolate in the raw, it doesn't have anything added to it, its not been messed with and gives you the taste of the original chocolate plant. Dark chocolate as I'm eating at the moment is far sweeter than dairy milk chocolate, its definitely more bitter but you get the proper chocolate taste which sometimes dairy chocolate is hidden ...  Read the complete review

After reading recently in the newspaper that eating up to 2 bars of dark chocolate a week can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 70%, (I'll buy in to anything!) my first thought was "Why does it have to be dark chocolate, I hate dark chocolate, why can't it be a Wispa bar instead!" But the next time I was grabbing a few essentials in Spar I spotted a bar of Bournville on the shelf and found myself popping one in to my basket. Now I'm not a big chocolate fan anyhow, it takes me ages to eat just a small bar of dairy milk and quite often I feel sickly afterwards, (it amazes me how some people can eat 2 or 3 in a row!) apart from ...  Read the complete review
