Cadbury Selection Biscuits
by rolandrat
===Why I Got This===
I was lucky enough the other day to get a belated Christmas gift, part of which was a box of Cadbury's Occasions chocolate biscuits.
===The Brand===
Made in the UK by Burton's Biscuit Company Ltd under licence from Cadbury UK.
===The ... Product===
The image above is of a 'Selection' box but mine is now called the 'Occasions' box - but the contents are the same.
Square cardboard box in the traditional purple used by Cadbury with a white snowflake image.
The top and sides of the box shows images of the biscuits.
'A delicious biscuit selection smothered in irresistible Cadbury Milk Chocolate.'
Long shelf life - mine was best before August 2013.
290 grams.
Inside box is a moulded plastic tray wrapped in a clear cellophane wrapper.
10 different biscuits.
===Biscuit Varieties===
Orange Crunch - round in gold foil.
Chocolate Charm - round and decorated with thin lines of dark chocolate.
Simply Shortcake - flat finger decorated with lines of thin dark chocolate
Raspberry Rapture - oval biscuit decorated with thin lines of dark chocolate
Vanilla Heart - large heart shaped biscuit.
Crunchy Ring - plain ring biscuit with hole in centre.
Hazelnut Flavour Crisp - oblong biscuit decorated with thin lines of dark chocolate.
Crunchy Triangle - triangular biscuit with hole in centre.
Lemon Crisp - smallish biscuit with rippled chocolate covering.
Honeycomb Cup - round biscuit decorated with dark chocolate lines.
All the above biscuits are covered in a layer of Cadbury milk chocolate.
===Cost===
Sorry not sure of the cost but I would think around the £2 mark.
===My Opinion===
I found this box of biscuits very enjoyable to eat and was delighted that there were no biscuits that I did not like.
They all came well protected in their tray and cellophane wrapper and would have looked very attractive put out for visitors. However I was lucky enough to be able to eat these all myself!
Before I started I did not know what the biscuits would be like, but the base of the box has a useful legend which shows images and names of them all - though be careful turning the box over to look - and do not spill any biscuits.
Most of the biscuits are of the shortbread sort and covered in milk chocolate and are very nice and the standard flavour. Although there are ten different sorts of biscuits the flavours do not vary a great deal.
The foil wrapped Orange Crunch had a nice orangy taste and smell but was not too overpowering or too sweet.
The Raspberry Rapture had a slight raspberry taste.
The Lemon Crisp was hardly much different to the ordinary shortbread ones.
Chocolate Charm had a layer of chocolate filling on top of the biscuit and under the chocolate covering.
The Honeycomb Cup was made to two layers.
I actually liked all of these biscuits and was pleased thee were none that I did not want - as it used to be with tins of biscuits there would always be some sort of cream biscuit which no-one liked.
There were two of each biscuit but three of the Lemon Crisp as they were quite thin so about 21 biscuits in total.
This is a nice small box which you can eat yourself over a few days and does not make you feel too greedy. It would also be a nice small gift for someone.
Being covered in Cadbury chocolate most people would like these biscuits, and although the chocolate layer was reasonably thick the shortbread sort of biscuit complimented it so the final result was not too sickly.
===Star Rating===
5 stars.
===Would I Recommend?===
Yes.

Cadbury Crunchie Biscuits
by xxfoxyredxx
I am very fortunate on the whole that I am not a huge fan of sweet things however today my parents were coming from Coventry to Weston Super Mare to spend 3 days with me and so for their arrival I nipped out and got a packet of biscuits and a cake and so on, at the last minute I nipped to my local Spa shop to grab some teabags and so on ... so I wouldn't run out of anything and spotted these Crunchie biscuits costing only £1.00 a pack and thought they would make a nice addition to my already plate of sweet treats!
The Packaging:
The biscuits themselves come in a black plastic tray and is encased within a foil wrapper which is gold and purple in colour and on the front of it we are told of course that they are Cadburys Crunchie Biscuits and that there are 85 calories per biscuit and there is a photograph of the biscuits. On the back of the pack other information listed includes ingredients and allergy advice being given,there is a full nutritional chart shown and the weight is stated which is 130g (I'm pretty sure there were 12 biscuits in my pack by the way) and contact details for the manufacturer are given. Nice enough packaging these have and it is of course informative enough.
The Biscuits:
What you get is like a digestive biscuit that is rather thick and on the top of that a hard honeycomb topping which is really sweet and does taste of honey and its nice against the wheaty flavour of the biscuit base. You then get a thick all over layer of Cadbury;s milk chocolate which is smooth and creamy and nicely sweet without being overly so. The flavours all marry really well together and although not a patch on a Cadbury crunchie bar they really are a nice, pleasant change and great with a cuppa though do melt if dipped lol.
Nice, couple of bites each rounds, I like the thickness, taste and appearance of these and of course the fact that they are Cadbury's really helps!
Available in all good supermarkets etc.

Cadbury Chocolate Digestives
by berthilda
The purple packet promises so much; the distinctive digestive crunch cries out, and the chocolatey charm that is Cadbury's combine to achieve....well, not very much really! I found the biscuits much drier than normal, even my fav cup of tea could not quite quench the thirst. You want the chocolate to be reminiscent of Cadbury's usual ... trademark creaminess, but - in my opinion - there just isn't enough to tantalise the taste buds. You do lose the point that it is Cadbury's chocolate covering the crumbly base as there's too much biscuit - take note Cadburys - we want (nay, need!) more chocolate! My husband bought these as they were on offer in our local shop, but I definitely wouldn't buy them at full price. I think the marriage of these two super powers has not worked on this occasion, which is a shame considering both do so well on their own.
