Advantages: tasty

Disadvantages: expensive for what they are

Cadbury makers one of the most acceptable chocolates Lots of people prefer Cadbury chocolate to any other. Now in my day my dear we did not get much variety in the chocolate products but in modern times its amazing how many different kinds of chocolate there are. I was treated to a tube of Cadbury snaps this week, the honeycomb one.
These snaps are quite new on the market first launched 2004 to help celebrate Cadburys centenary. New flavoured snap chocolates have been added to the originals so now there are 6 flavours milk chocolate, mint, orange, hazelnut coconut and honeycomb. One of the newer flavours launched last year is the honeycomb variety that I am reviewing.

Packaging
A tall box not quite cylindrical, Honey comb flavour is purple other flavours coloured appropriately. Easy to open flap at the top. There is an inner foil package that contains a black plastic tray this is divided into 6 compartments. The tray holds the snaps. The tray is useful for displaying the snaps on the table at a party, or on the staff room coffee tables. (These actually do make a nice present for teachers, mums and dads)

Quantity, size
There are 40 snaps in a box quite a fair number considering the weight if the box which is 136g. The snaps measure about 4cm in diameter about the size of a Pringle if you know what a Pringle is.

Shape, texture, look
Well working with special needs including pupil’s one blind girl means that I realise how important shape and texture is.
These shapes are a curvy circle, it’s as if the melted chocolate has cooled and solidified over a round pole. The chocolate is bumpy, that’s the pieces of honeycomb in it. You can see the small pieces of honeycomb in the chocolate. Although this chocolate is bumpy it’s not rough but smooth. Rub your fingers over the snap so you can identify it and you soon get sticky fingers as the chocolate begins to melt on your warm fingers.
IF you pop one in your mouth and let the chocolate melt you are left with little pieces of honeycomb on your tongue, if you bite the chocolate you will find it crispy and does have a crunch to it, that’s the honeycomb the chocolate will melt as you bite it

Smell
Smell is such an important factor in food it enables the blind person to tell what it is. Smell arouses our taste buds and gets the saliva gland producing saliva. My mouth is watering smelling the chocolate .The honey comb snaps smell sweet I could tell the difference between the flavours of snaps as they do smell of the flavour that the chocolate holds.

Taste
Did you manage to get a whole snap in your mouth at once? It’s just possible for people with big mouths.
Well it tastes that smooth creamy milky Cadbury chocolate taste sweet and pleasant. The honey comb pieces do have a sweet honey flavour.
Your tongue is very sensitive so you feel the little pieces of honey comb in the smooth chocolate. The chocolate begins to melt in your mouth immediately you put it in the little bits of honey comb delight your tongue contrasting texture to the chocolate.
They taste so lovely it is easy to eat the contents of the box in one sitting. I defy you to only eat one curve as they are so moreish.

Nutrition and contents
Well if you can restrict yourself to one curve then its only 20 kcalories but in 100g there are 510 calories, so best restricted to one curve and save the rest for the other members of the staff or family.
There is1.0 g fat, 2.1g carbohydrate and0.2 g protein per curve.
These chocolates are not advised for anyone with a dairy or wheat intolerance and be warned they may contain traces of nut.

Price and availability
Now you have finished my box of snaps you could get me some most supermarkets and other places that sell sweets will stock these. Tesco sells them at £175 per box that’s 129 per 100g now it were me I would keep an eye out for 2 for 1 or cheaper offers now before I stock up for Christmas.

Uses for the snap packaging well the box looks promising I can see a tree trunk there, or cut down it would make a chimney pot, if both ends were open a tunnel for a car to run through m I see a snowy hillside over it and this a s a tunnel through a winter scene,
The rest well no not much use for the tray except as a tray for a sorting exercise. Throw away your packaging responsibly recycling where you can

I have just one more word to say (well a few words anyway). I like these chocolates a lot and remember the teachers and assistants at Christmas (humbug to the children they get more than enough all year anyway.  )

Summary: Thin curved chocolate
