Advantages: creamy chocolate, incredibly moreish

Disadvantages: laden with calories

My dad has always had a penchant for Turkish Delight chocolate, so every year without fail I always buy a few bars for him to munch on. I always tend to buy Fry’s, but I was always moaning because the bars were so measly and although packs of 3 are available, they don’t really add up to much of a gift, so when I saw that Cadbury’s had now introduced their own version in a whopping bar, called Cadbury’s Turkish, with the Delight omitted so as not to upset Fry’s applecart. I just had to buy it for pa, in the hope that he would share a square or two with me so that I could write a review.

Luckily for me, dad was in a generous mood, and I did get to sample the delight, but not before Gemma and Craig had got their sticky little mitts on it.

As you can expect with Cadbury’s, this bar of Turkish delight is wrapped in the usual exquisite foil wrapper that is designed to seal in the freshness of the chocolate. The usual regal looking purple makes up the bulk of the wrapper, but flowing along the bottom is a sumptuous sea of pink. This sea of pink is actually the Turkish delight, which is oozing out of a solitude chunk of creamy milk chocolate broken in two, and this image soon gets my taste buds working overtime.

Turning over the wrapper and you find the usual nutritional information, you already know it’s not going to be healthy, but when you see it in black and white this makes it worst. For 100g of Cadbury’s Turkish there are 5.3g of protein, 63g of carbohydrates, a whopping 20g of fat and, are you ready for this? 455 calories. As this bar is 200g that makes just under 1000 calories. I just thank my lucky stars that I didn’t indulge in this bar of chocolate on my own.

With the shock well set in, I watched dad peel off the wrapper with ease. As I was sitting quite close, I could smell the ever-familiar scent of sweet, milk chocolate than can only be Cadbury’s and there was a slight hint of roses, which I took to be the Turkish delight filling. With salivation glands now in full flow, I eagerly held out my hand as dad grudgingly shared his chocolate out. The chocolate bar looked just like your standard bar of dairy milk or whole nut. Breaking the chunks off was relatively easy, despite the bar of chocolate being kept in the fridge, which is the best way to serve chocolate.

Biting into the chocolate was a dream come true. The picture on the front gave a false impression of the filling being runny, but really the Turkish delight was quite firm and was more like set jelly, or even Fry’s Turkish Delight itself. As you bite into the hard, milk chocolate outer layer, your teeth glide gently through the soft, smooth Turkish delight before striking against the other side of chocolate. The flavours of rose and chocolate compliment each other rather well, although I do like Fry’s Turkish Delight, I much prefer this version as Cadbury’s is sometimes hard to beat.

This bar of gorgeousness was quite hard for me to source for a while, I had heard of its introduction last year, but try as I might I couldn’t buy a bar anywhere, but I have since found it in my local Woolworth’s store and also in Tesco, so chances are you may find it in your own local supermarket. I have only seen this chocolate in the 200g size and a bar costs in the region of £1.08, the same for a bar of Whole nut, or Fruit and Nut so it’s refreshing to know that they are keeping all their prices the same for each variety of chocolate bar.
