Cadbury choc

Well we have several cadburys eggs in our household for Easter. Very disappointing as the recipe has clearly changed and 'its not the same' almost undesirable so we won't be buying Cadbury eggs again. We can think of others that are more creamy......

Absolutely terrible chocolate

Absolutely terrible chocolate . Well it’s not really chocolate is it after all. No taste really . Oily waxy consistency. Why the recipe has been changed is beyond me. The prices have risen and the taste declined. At this rate Cadbury will go bankrupt

Really dissappointed in Cadbury…

Really dissappointed in Cadbury Chocolate Easter eggs taste vile even my Fosterchildren though the Chocolate was horrible I really won't be buying anything from them in the future I really think they need to think about putting MILK back into their Chocolate instead of trying to fool the public with all the crap oils Very dissappointed in this brand

What happened to the once-delicious…

What happened to the once-delicious Cadbury chocolate? It tastes different now, and I'm not a fan. Although I don't like the new taste, it does mean I won't be buying any more, which is beneficial for my weight and chocoholic cravings.

Palm oil chocolate

My wife bought me a Cadbury fruit and nut Easter egg 🤢. It's not good, it's just not creamy chocolate anymore. I've had Cadbury chocolate for the last 60 years, but no more. M+S do a much better chocolate bar, with none of this palm oil sh1t in it, I'll get theirs in the future.

I received a 242g Easter eg which states XL egg and 2 bars however the egg was not extra large and the bars were small , an absolute joke and false advertisement. I have seen the Cadbury brand go from premium brand to a joke brand and certainly won’t be buying anymore of their products.

Cadburys is no longer chocolate

There is something really off with Cadburys dairymilk in the UK. The taste is just quite vile now. I see there is a lot of hate here for Cadbury so I don't know if this genuine review will ever get looked at or just put in a bucket with everyone else. Personally will be moving to Tony's chocolate bars as I'm happy to pay the extra for some actual chocolate

Vile taste

My son wasn't too keen on his Easter egg so I volunteered to help him out. Oh my God what on earth has become of Cadburys ? Utterly disgusting, how the mighty have fallen.

Mondelez mega corporation greed.

Mondelez, like any American mega corporation prioritise profit over a quality product. They have ruined dairy milk. It tastes nothing like it did a few years ago. It's oily and vile tasting.

Actually disgusting chocolate

Actually disgusting chocolate. I remember, like many others, how Cadbury's used to taste. Regardless of how it used to taste however, chocolate should taste luxurious in your mouth and have a long pleasant aftertaste. Cadbury's tastes awful up front and you can taste the chemicals, the sour and astringent flavour long afterwards. Truly some of the most disgusting chocolate available in the UK today. Cadbury is no more. Utter trash, and I have been trying for hours to get the foul taste out of my mouth.

Not what they used to be

For some reason after not eating any Cadbury chocolate since Oct 2024 I decided to try some buttons today and what has happened to them. After a few I binned them. They tasted so different. You could tell straight away the difference from how they used to taste. Far too waxy and oily tasting and leave a real greasy feeling in my mouth.

Waxy

Waxy, oily mess, i don't know if you can even call it chocolate. Avoid and get something edible from Lidl or Aldi

Horrible

I made a massive mistake in buying a kilo bag of mini eggs. They were waxy and tasteless compared with when Cadbury was an independent company. The original mini eggs had a creamy and long lasting taste.
These were a shadow of that. I will never buy Cadbury chocolate again.
