March 14th: Cadburys Chomp


Kcal 110 Fat 4.7g Fat(sats) 2.6g Carbs 16g

Work seemed to be dragging for agessss today and sitting at my desk at 3pm my stomach was rumbling - Fast forward to 3.15pm and after a brief walk down to the staff shop, before I knew it I was surround by mini Cadbury Treats.

At the little cost of 15p the Chomp bar is a small snack sized bar (23g) that comprises of a layer of chewy caramel covered in Cadbury Chocolate. It's basically a Cadburys Curly Wurly..just not shaped as oddly. Opening the foil wrapper a nice Cadbury smell emanated and the small bar looked nice and smooth.

Biting into the bar I was met with a rather thickish layer of Cadbury chocolate (relative to it's size anyway). The Cadbury chocolate taste was like you would find in almost all Cadbury products - sweet but with a milky creamyness. It's nice to know that although the price and size of the bar is smaller, the same amount of care and quality is given to the chocolate. The chewy caramel was identical in taste to the one found in the Curly Wurly, in that it was nice blend of butter and sugar. Not only was it great tasting but it also had an interesting chewy texture.

Overall this bar did it's job, but I was still hungry after eating it. Unfortunately due to its size it wont satisfy any serious degree of hunger/chocolate pang, and that explains its slightly lower than average score. The Curly Wurly is not much bigger in size and its surprising there isn't a much larger version of this bar available. I'm sure it would be exceedingly popular if it were.

Scots rool......
Chomp bars are brilliant, they're a nice size.....in that you could quite easily eat 2 at one time, & not be thought a hog. :D

That's my reasoning anyway. They're nicer if they've been kept in the fridge......it hardens up the caramel inside.

I guess having two at a time would solve the size problem..but thats a bit silly dont you think - they should just produce the king sized chomp.

Thats exactly what I didbtw (putting it inthe fridge)...I chill most bars before I eat them as it makes the taste last longer yum yum :D

Another great review, not keen on Chomps myself because I find the toffee a bit too chewy, love Fudges though! And you can't argue with the price either, a nice cheap chocolate hit! Rachel x

Rachel thanks for the compliment. I reviewed the fudge today..check out that review :) Personally I prefer the caramel in the chomp to the fudge....both are pretty damn good for a nice snack though!!

Had I known these would be like curly wurly's I would have given it a miss. The best thing about Chomps are the smell - which is lovely - but I think the caramel tastes poor, and it's horrible because it just gets stuck to my teeth.
