Kcal 300 Fat 17.7g Fat(sats) 11.1g Carbs 31.1gI found this bar listed at http://www.sanza.co.uk/ under their Australian section...I dont ever recall seeing this in the UK and im pretty sure its never been on the UK market.
The Cadburys Top Deck encorporates a bottom layer of Cadburys Dairy Milk and an upper layer of Cadburys 'Dream' white chocolate. It came in a 55g bar which split into eight sizeable chunks - it was really more than adequete satisfying my hunger.
Asthetically as you can see above it did look rather appertising, the same however cant be said for the smell. The bar had an extremely sweet cheap scent that was rather off putting...it certainly didnt fill me with anticipation.
The blocks of the bar broke away really quite easily, Taking the first block between my teeth I was actually able to split the two layers. The bottom Dairy Milk layer was quite similar to the Dairy Milk we enjoy here in the UK. It was slightly less creamy, and it had a slightly less thick texture once melted....the differences wernt major, but on balance I would say the UK Dairy Milk is slighty better.
The 'Dream' white chocolate topping was extremely similar in taste to what we have here in the UK 'Dream' bar....unfortunately this is not such a good thing. The taste is extremely sweet... too sweet even and its to the point that the bar quickly becomes sickly in taste (it gave me that dreadful feeling at the back of my throat..hard to describe). Even when the two layers arent split and eaten in tandem the white 'Dream' layer dominates the Dairy Milk which of course makes for an extremely sweet 55g!
Overall this is a bar that I would strongly suggest you probably leave alone. The Dairy Milk has a nice enough taste and texture, but the overly sweet white chocolate layer really spoils this bar. The taste reminds me of extremely cheap white chocolate and its sickly flavour is not suprising considering the main ingredient of the 51% white chocolate is of course....Sugar. I wouldnt reccomend trying this, but if your like me and like to try everything at least once dont expect much.

They certainly had it for a short while in England a few years ago - it was the medium size Cadbury bar (between individual and family size) but it disappeared quite quickly.
And yes - I only tried it once. It was rather sickly.
i loved these!! I think...it was a wee while ago we had them lol
Hi both - it does seem im a bit wrong then..theses obviously were avalible for a limited time...no wonder it was pulled from the market its definately not one of Cadbury's finer momments.
Thanks for the input :) :) keep enjoying Chocolate Mission and plese keep commenting!
It's true about these bars - in the mid 90's I think. 100g size along with others such as Yuletide, a rum and raisan one, mint crisp and a honeycomb one IIRC
It seems im lucky I have you guys reading to plug my knowlede gaps :D thanks for helping me out
more to the point though - rum and raisin Cadburys??? OMG that that sounds awesome! Anyone ever have it?
Thanks for the comments :D

Yeah they did have these quite a long time ago, I tried one once, it was pretty awful, they didn't taste good together at all!
Anon Glad to know im not the only one who thought this br was pretty poor! Cadbury just havent nailed the art of white chocolate quite yet!!
Thanks for the comment :) be sure to leave your name next time!

I love these and each year i get some from Cyprus. I cant find it over here and dont understand why it isnt available in the UK. this is my faveourite chocolate by far! I dont think it is at all sickley. I cant eat enough of it when Im away - they also have lots of other cadburys choc in cyprus which isnt available here for some unknown reason.
I think they should bring it back :)
anon Who would have guessed that Cyprus of all places would be a haven for Cadbury products!! Do they have any really interesting bars that we don't? Can you remember any!?
Please leave your name next time!
Cheers

I got a load from Republic of South Africa to bring back to the UK, and all my friends and I absolutely love the taste of top deck chocolate! Interestingly they also had a dairy milk 'biscuit' flavour... and I recommend that to anyone who likes shortbread! :)
