Kcal 210 Fat 7g Carbs 35g
This bar has a rich heritage and is considered an all time classic due it first being producded in the 1866 (thanks Alan :D ). Despite being branded as Fry's these bars are actually part of the Cadburys portfolio. The bar describes itself as dark chocolate with a fondant centre and weighs in at a hefty 50g.
The Chocolate is described as 'Dark' and is indeed a bit more bitter than your standard Milk chocolate. Unfortunately I found that it wasn't that distinctive, and eventually rather forgettable. The white fondant centre was extremely sickly as it tasted so so sweet. Honestly the fondant had a taste that I can only describe as sugary, which eventually became quite unpleasent after only a few mouthfulls.
Overall this is a bar I would really not reccommend - I have had so many better in the last few weeks and this has to go down as of the poorest. The chocolate is nothing special and the fondant centre is overly sweet and sickly. Probably best to avoid.

I can't stand these, I agree - incredibly sickly. For some reason the mint version works for me, although I'd only be tempted about once every six months.
Saz - You should try the orange version its actually half decent...I was suprised considernig how much I disliked this.

I've always liked Frys Chocolate creams - after all the filling is a fondant - thats what fondants are, sugar and water so its bound to be sweet- rather like the creme egg filling (minus the yellow)and i think the filling is offset by the less sweet chocolate - however i agree it is very sticky - and the fact they are tightly wrapped in foil doesnt help - much preferred the paper foil wrap they used to come in and at least you could wrap them up again if you didn't want it all at once lol
I do like the orange one tho, haven't had the green peppermint one in a very long time if ever lol maybe you could get your hands on one and review it Jim? :)

Alan The old school packaging sounds far superior! I love retro looking stuff!
I was a fan of the orange one aswell you might have seen....well more so than this original anyway!
Funny you should mention the peppermint variant! Its in my box to review bars! Hopefully I will get round to it sometime soon!
Cheers

Jim, you should try the peppermint flavour (green packet). It wipes the floor off Orange and especially chocolate IMO.
Hutchy funny you should mention that ...I just ate it and reviewed it last week. Should be up on the site someday this week!
I'm glad I know know someone is looking forward to it at least!
Cheers for the input

Wow I just came across your new photo of the Chocolate Cream! lol I'm amazed to see a new wrapper - much better than the old tired one, more modern but in a very retro style -
Did you know they actually date to 1866 not the
1950's? and theyre still made in the original moulds! Amazing to think theyre so old really!
Alan
Alan how on earth did you come across this a matter of two hours after I updated it :D
I will update the review with your knowledge :D cheers for that

I am impressed! Blog advice posted here is absolutely my friend. I neutral want to hint board up with comments and calibre work. IE browser bookmarks to your blog just now, I l stumble upon back to fathom my friends more in the unborn! The color of the layout is not lousy, it is mild on the eyes.
These bars can be quite sickly simply because it is so big. If the bar was smaller, I think this would be quite nice. The sugary fondant wouldn't be too much and the bitter chocolate would make a nice contrast. At the moment it is just too much though.
