Kcal 40 Fat 1.9g Carbs 4.5 (Per biscuit - 6 in pack)Before today I had no clue about even the actual existance of this product..I had never seen it before but came across it passing through Gatwick Airport this morning in a Cadburys branded vending machine...anyway I decided to throw caution to the wind give it a try.
The Cadbrys snack is a 43g bar that comprises of six mini Dairy Milk coated shortcake biscuits. As you can see above they are square in shape and have a slight rippled effect across their surface. In truth I thought they looked particularly boring and I was suprised and their lack of branding.
Opening the pack I could detect the magical Dairy Milk aroma - it wasnt quite as strong as with most Cadburys standard chocolate bars but that was due to the lacking of chocolate quantity which I will go into now.
The picture above shows how thin the chocolate layer is. The chocolate retains its great quality creamy Dairy Milk flavour but unfortunately the proportioning per biscuit is so poor the taste does not last long enough at all and is quickly domintaed by the bicuit.
The biscuit element was fair - it had that mixture of sweet biscuity flavour with the slightest hint of salt that most good shortbread have. Unfortunately the biscuit didn't have quite the crunchyness I was expecting though overall it still provided a satisfying taste.
Overall after tasting these im not particularly suprised that these dont get much media exposure from Cadburys. For my liking the chocolate is way too thin and thats disappointing given the fact that I think this would really benefit from having quite a thick layer of Dairy Milk coating it. The biscuit element being the main focus of the bar was also slightly disappointing - the taste was avergae at best but it suffered mostly from not having the expected crunch in texture. If your a fan of shortcake and Cadburys chocolate I would say give these a go but in honesty these really arent anything special.

I like these a lot actually. We always seem to get them on our weekly shopping trip. I think they live up to their name and are good for a Snack. :P
These sound like the tins of Cadbury Cookies (biscuits), that are available at Christmas. The tins make great gifts, but in candy bar form would probably be overwhelming. Thanks for the review!
Gemma Im starting to regret saying I had never seen these before today... I saw them more than 3 times in different shops on the way in and out of London so they are obviously alot more common than I thought!! As I said in the review these arent the greatest product ever but yeh they do make an adequete snack.
Justin Good to see that you can get a picture of this product from something similar despite not having the actual one itself avalible to you...from the sound of it the similarities are spot on and its a good comparison.
Thanks for the input sorry it might have taken longer than usual for your comments to appear on the site...I have been on a two day job interview.
Jim :D
Nice review Jim.
These were my preferred Snack from the Cadbury snack range, though the flavours from all 3 seem to have changed. Something in the shortcake. I'm not sure what, I'll leave that to more experienced palates :)
The chocolate mission continues!
Anon Thanks for the prompt about the other two part of the 'Snack' range..I will have to get hold of them and review them in the near future!! I hope you check out the rviews when I do will be great to get your thoughts!
The Chocolate Mission does indeed roll on :D :D :D
Thank for the comment
Jim
