TASTE TEST 2K21: CADBURY'S DAIRY MILK INVENTOR BARS YEAR 2

 Hoping this review finds you well. I'm taking a small moment of time out of Personal Time to Review 3 Bars of Chocolate up to Public Vote, and though this is my opinion, i urge to at least try the Bars yourself before voting!

Today is the second wave of Inventor Bars: Cadbury asked the public to invent a bar of chocolate and the first 3 out of a hat are up for public Voting. Last years bars were nothing to right home about. Coconut, Blueberry and the Winner, Honeycomb are all flavours done by other companies, with the Last already used in An Existing Product!

This year they stepped their game up with 3 new unique flavours.

In Alphabetical order:

BANOFFEE NUT CRUMBLE

Calorie Count: 602 in a 6 square portion (24 squares=4 potions)

(For Full Disclosure all bars in the standard 24 square 3x8 format and all contain Biscuit. This is the last time i will mention it but assume it is there for all 3)

Flavour: Banoffee Fudge Pieces, Golden Almond pieces and Biscuit.

Chewy Fudge, Smooth Chocolate and Crispy. If you have a bar of chocolate that marries flavours this well, well then, you may have a winner on your hands! In my Opinion anyway!

FIZZING CHERRY

Calorie Count: 592 per portion

Flavour: Dried Red Cherries and Popping Candy

Opening the pack. The smell of Cherries is very strong. But the Cherries have a texture like Raisins and it just taste like raisins. The Popping candy adds enough whimsy to the bar. Re-Package for Kids sell it for less than a euro. Then we can talk!

NO FROWNIE BROWNIE

Calorie Count: 597 per portion

Flavour: Brownie Piece, Salted Caramel Pieces.

A Suggestion (and not because it's July in the middle of a heatwave!) But put this bar in the fridge overnight. The Saltiness of the Caramel combined with the soft of the Brownie in chocolate that is covered in less than room temperature chocolate is so good.

In my opinion it's a two horse race that is too close to call between Brownie and Banoffee. That is not say Fizzing Cherry can't win. I would just prefer it to be a kid's party favour than part of a brand for all ages. But again try the bars yourself and giving Cadbury's your own opinion!

REVENGE OF THE TASTE TEST 2K16

Imagine how annoyed I was a Few weeks ago when, after finishing my limited edition Pringles Taste test, this came out of the blue!

Cadbury's has released for the summer 3 icecream inspired flavours of their baked good-The Mini Roll-A chocolate roulade about 3 ins long covered in Cadbury's signature Chocolate! Being limited editions, you can't buy these separate, only in packs of 10. We will do this is Alphabetical Order.

Before i Start, the advertising suggests that i should put the cakes in a freezer overnight!


I'm Eating these straight out of the package, with a cuppa, Like a cake, CAUSE IT'S A FUCKING CAKE! WHO FREEZES A CAKE?

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT
Package Colour: Brown and White Scarf
Calorie count-510 calories
Package Mottoes-"Freeze Me" "Cold as Ice" "Ice To Eat Me" "Spread the Joy" "Choc Full Of Joy" "Choc-Tastic"

Two Bites and Confection is obliterated, Chocolate Sponge with a Chocolate Cream, looks bland, tastes bland, is bland. The cream keeps the dry sponge most, so there's that!

NEAPOLITAN
Package Colour: Pink and White Scarf
Calorie Count: 515 calories
Package Mottoes-the 1st four above are repeated but are joined by "Triple Trouble" and "THE Classic!"
You Can smell it through the plastic and all the memories of summer holidays and family parties come flooding back! To invoke the taste of Neapolitan,the sponge is not chocolate, but vanilla and the cream (the very little of it!) is strawberry, Delicious and Novel concept, would have liked more cream!

TOFFEE SWIRL
Package Colour: Sand and white Scarf
Calorie Count: 540 calories
Package Mottoes; "Toffee-tastic" "Naughty but Ice" "BRRRRR!" "Melt in Your Mouth" "Just For Mum"
As always, the Toffee Flavour is the most heaviest flavour of the bunch. The sponge is vanilla again and cream is joined by a thin layer of butterscotch on it, which spirals to the bottom the closer i eat to the adjacent end. It has the same problem the 1st had, no contrasting flavours, chocolate hazelnut had chocolate-in-chocolate-in-chocolate, whilst this has vanilla-in-vanilla-in-vanilla, with the chocolate breaking up the flavour!

Well, that's it!
I'm gonna sitting here waiting for #TNAWFUL to release the next One SHITE whenever they feel like it, instead of capitalizing on the 4 week wait til WWE battleground and RELEASING IT NOW!

I'm review it when it does get released, I will no longer be reviewing Battleground, BECAUSE I AM OPTING TO WATCH THE DRAFT ON THE LIVE SMACKDOWN INSTEAD!

See you all soon!

CHOOSE A CHUNKY CHAMPION!: THE NEW KIT-KATS FOR 2013

Hello and welcome to the Enlightened Page, I am TGWTG Forum member, Eamonn "EnlightenedIrishman" Bermingham, and this is my blog. if you're new to this, or are a regular reader, then 9 Times out of 10 this is a wrestling blog giving text reviews of major pay-per-views. But you see it all started 5 years ago with something different....
the very first thing i ever reviewed were the first ever batch of Walkers limited edition crisps. and ever year of the Enlightened Page's existence, a new batch critiqued by your's truly. 2009 original batch made way for World Cup Walkers,which made way for Red Nose day Walkers which made way for last year Mystery flavour (I was way off! what is a "Birmingham City balti" and how is it different from a regular Balti?)

With this talk of crisps when it's chocolate i'm reviewing? Well Walkers and pepsi who own walkers are keeping shtum about if or when lim-edits actually will come out, so if it fall through this is a back up plan.

Nestle has released 4 new Kit-kat Chunkies like last year. Only this year the new flavours actually are new flavours. this post will act as a guide to help you decide which will be a permanent fixture. but if it's anything like last year that could be a lie like last year as peanut butter and white are still around.

so let's begin.

MINT
Colour of wrapper: Green stripe
Contents:Milk chocolate bar with mint essence not mint gel or creme
Calories:246 per bar
strong mint aroma greets my nose. Taking off piece shows no mint flavoring inside it's all on the chocolate. despite strong mint aroma, Mint taste is not overwhelming.

FUDGE
Colour of wrapper:Dark Brown Stripe
Contents: Milk Chocolate bar with fudge blanketed over smaller wafer.
Calories:256 per bar
Fudge seeping out of top layer makes opening very difficult. My reward, however is worth it, as i'm introduced to a delicious, decadent bar.

COCONUT
Colour of wrapper: White Stripe
Contents:Milk (not white) chocolate with coconut specks between wafers.
Calories:246 per bar
coconut flakes makes wafer extra crispy but holds no extra flavour. the only misstep so far.

HAZELNUT
Colour of wrapper: Light Brown Stripe
Contents:Milk Chocolate(again!) with Noisette top layer
Calories:260 per bar
I've left the bar with most calories for last. as expected the bar is filling and heavy. Noisette on wafer? absolutely tasty combo, but filling!

Well that's will do it for now! Normal services will resume next monday with results of the royal rumble. Votes to keep your favorite flavour is being tallied on Kit-kat's facebook page. The voting closes in March. good luck and get involved to save your favorite!

Hershey month:Reese Brand

"you got chocolate in my peanut butter!" An ad so annoying it transcend itself to the American cartoons i watched as a child. Reese is hershey's peanut butter brand created its name sake, H.B Reese. In 1968 reese died and his company sold back to hershey. As a sign of respect the company became a brand rather than slapped hershey on the packs. It's flagship snack is the Reese's cup a cupcke shaped confection that is filled with peanut butter. as well as

• Nutragous!-a take that to snickers
• Reese's pieces -Atake that to M&M'S

there's more, but I'm only talking about what available now in Ireland.

Hershey: an Irishman's journey for America's chocolate counterpart: Part 1

A year Ago, Cadbury was bought by the Cheese company Kraft. Kraft, already has Milka and Hershey in its portfolio. This year Hershey made its way to Irish shelves with no fanfare whatsoever. So as a long overdue sequel to Cadbury month, here is Part 1 of 2, though we only have so much product so far.

The signature brand is the foil wrapped Hershey Brand, much like Our Dairy Milk, the bar is segmented into squares, only flatter. Appearing in 1894, created in Hershey, PA along with an almond flavour. in time dark and white version where made. Hershey is known for its "Hershey process" a trade secret for its unique taste. However its widely believed that the milk is lipolyzed, a process where fat is broken down by acid. its what increases its shelf life as considered to give it's unique sour taste.
Its flavours are

• Plain
• almonds
• Special dark
• cookies and creme (white)
• Pure dark

Hershey's kisses
Teardrop-shaped chocolate wrapped in foil created in 1907. Named after the sound the machine made when one was created.
all the above flavours are available in this form.

cadburys tribute part 3:S-Y

(CLICK PREVIOUS POST TO READ A-P)
Snack
Now, i would be liable to give back my Irish passport if i didnt talk about snack. Not to be confused with Australian Snack, which alledgedly 8 flavours in1, snack are 3 bars
Pink-wafer
yellow-shortcake
purple-biscuit sandwich
that the English still refer to as a biscuit! Harry hill spoke on this and said "hold on thats a bar not a biscuit! if your mum said "have a biscuit" and gave you a twix, you wouldnt believe your luck!"

Spots and Stripes
a bar to promote the Olympics, or a device to bully fat people to do stupid things for a chocolate bar? YOU DECIDE!
After a long ad campaign in 2010 a 3 square white top bar was released. the selling point of this bar is that in the wrapper is a challenge for 2 people like jumping jacks or press-ups and the winner gets 2/3 of the bar. the creater says that it promote exercise. yeah you burn calories and you put them back on by eating the most fattening chocolate there is white topped milk chocolate! BULLSHIT!

Time out
after seeing how Twirl was so popular in ireland, British cadburys returned in kind in 1993 with by adding wafers to the mix and called it time out. in the early 2000s a comic strip was drawn underneath the bar.

Twirl
in 1991 Irish cadbury created the only chocolate in the line not created in britian to be sold worldwide.
basicly twirl is half a flake covered in chocolate.

Wispa
Heres a joke for you.

George micheal was seen the other day with an Aero Chunky up his arse!
it turned out to be a Careless Wispa.

as mentioned in the joke Wispa is a take that to Nestles Aero chunky, first appearing in 1983 the ad reunited the cast of the comedy, Dads army, its was discontinued in the late 90s until a Online survey put the bar back on our shelves. with Wispa gold, a (yes you guessed it!) caramel flavour. time will tell if wispacino a coffee flavour will return.

Yowie
From australia and on our shelves in britain for 2000, came Yowie, a take that to Kinder suprise. a chocolate that came with a toy that looked like an endangered animal was well as a preachy Green message. the chocolate sold well but ovivously there was issues with the bars name.

Seriously "YAOI?"

Well thats it! join me next week as i peer into the mixing bowl for part 4: confectionary!
Friend me on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePathofenlightment
see you again next week!

CADBURYS: AN AMERICAN'S GUIDE TO A BRITISH AND IRISH INSTITIUTION PART 2: OTHER BARS A-P

HEY GUYS due to the size of the notes I compiled recently I'm extending the theme month by 1 week and spliting the a-z into to parts!

So here we go!

Astros
From south africa, comes the take that to m&ms crispy, arrived on our shores for all of 1999. but still made in its home country. its is the only non confection that came in a box.

Boost/star bar/moro
The bar known as moro only in ireland, boost can be best be described as mars mixed with Twix. Later they added snickers to the rip-off recipe, and called it Star bar while every other country called it boost peanut. in 2000 boost guarana simply known as boost in ireland added the heart-stopping ingredient to the nougat.

Buttons
Possibly the first piece of chocolate you ever had. round chocolate pieces. in the 80s the sweets were marketed to young childern with a nursery rhyme scene on the pack with the rhyme on the back of the pack. Comes in milk and white. Can kill small dogs if feed to them.

Caramel
Rebranded recently as Dairy milk caramel, Caramel is the only bar apart from Dairy milk and Twirl to be sold in all of cadburys teritories. Caramel is so popular that at some time any other bar will have caramel in it or a caramel flavour. its Popularity can be attributed to this ad:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjQ5Yw72xta

Many people speculated who the voice of the cadbury bunny was i can tell you it was the actress Miriam Margoyles.
Thats right Nursey from Blackadder 2! and we had a trade up when the irish dub came in the 1990s as Former Miss Ireland Amanda Bryam was the voice!

Chomp
the best 10p/25c you'll ever spent. chomp uk is a small caramel bar. while australian chomp  appartently has an added biscuit layer.

Clusters
€2.50 bags of chocolate raisins,peanuts and truffles and you can get a bag of supermarket brand one of those for a quid!

Creme eggs
from midnight new years eves a clock in bourneville ticks away not only the previous year but to the arrival of the first batch of creme eggs to the shops. the Eggs are filled with Fondant, aerated cream-burn you mouth if you ate to much! the advertistising for the eggs are memberable from ads with matt lucas, and citreon creating 5 creme egg cars heres the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LDRDggpt8E
in 2007 a full time bar called creme egg: Twisted was born.

Curly wurly
Lattice shaped bar that gets smaller ever year. in 2000 a bag of fun-size bars called curly wurly squirrllies were released, yeah as if the bars werent small enough already.

Crunchie
called Violet crumble for some reason in australia. the bar is a honeycomb bar.spinoffs include biscuits and clusters.

Double decker
Created by accident in 79, double decker is a two layered bar top layer nougat on a layer of rice crispies.

Dream
A white chocolate Dairy milk now discontinued, i love white chocolate that i sad to see it go.

Flake
" a 99 cone" thats a icecream cone with a flake in it a piece of overlapped grating chocolate. flake dairy milk before it, became its own brand with milk, dipped, praline, dark and the contraversial Snow flake.

In 2003 British tv presenter Anthea Turner made a deal with flake and Ok magazine to advertise the bar...on her wedding photos! the magazine even gave out a free bar on the edition with the photos. David Frost called it the most vile photos he ever seen and snow flake like turners career crashed landed.

Freddo
Remember in harry potter they mentioned chocolate frogs? well it was a reference to cadburys second oldest bar. In 1913 a bar just for kids was invented in the shape of a frog. in 1992 the bar was changed to coinside with that GOD-AWFUL Taz-mania cartoon called Taz-bar. In 2002 they relaunched Freddo by adding a caramel flavour and a flash game.

Fudge
a bar of fudge. its just here from completeness sake.

mini eggs
 eggs shaped smarties. only out for easter.

Picnic
A Take that to Nestle Lion bar with added raisins. mentioned for completeness sake.

Well thats it! Come back next week for S-Y to find out which bar...

• Promotes the Olympics...and bullying?
• rejoined the cast of Dad's army?
• was created in ireland and took the world over?
• and has the worst name you could give to a bar!

come and friend me at youtube here is the fixed link http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePathofenlightment

See you all next week!

Cadbury's: AN American's guide to a british and irish insitiution:part 1 :Dairy milk

hello everyone to Theme month!
this month with Kraft buying Cadbury's last year the internet is rife with rumour of it launching its products on American soil. so for the next 3 weeks i will take you to the candyshop with this sweet tribute!

Dairy milk
the signature bar in the cadbury line. Appearring in 1905 with a higher milk to chocalate ratio of any chocolate of that time.(its now galaxy that holds that honour!) hence the glass and a half slogan.During WWI, commerial milk production was shut down to provide milk for the troops, nearly destroying the brand.thankfully the brand came back stronger, with Fruit and nut in 1928 and whole nut in 34.

In 2007 the company launched Glass and a half studios, to produce their adverts.with this ad become the most watch video on youtube in 2008. if you haven't seen it yet, here is the link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gjyrclbs

in its 100+ years run, dairy milk has spawned many bars in different shapes (flat and chunky) and sizes from its original size (8-square) to the indulgant (32-square) to the ridiculous (1 yard!)
and many flavours some only exist in markets in canada,oz,south africa and india so i'm only gonna talk about the flavour available to Ireland.

Fruit and nut-because of the ad in the 80s (which I couldnt find so no links!) people call an odd person a fruit and nutcase!
whole nut-like the above but with no raisins!
Turkish delight
Mint crisp
golden crisp-which is honeycomb more on that next week!
and caramello-which different from Caramel -more on that next week too!
and from australia but was only limited edition in ireland in 1999, 3 wishes -1/3 milk 1/3 dark and 1/3 white
and apparently there is 2 flavours called "coconut Rough" and Double choc which i havent tried. or seen.
but this is a nostalgic ride through the chocolate river.

there is also Bourneville the first ever bar made by them. it's dark chocolate. it was name after the town that the Cadbury Brothers, two Mormons that lived through Victorion London, founded for their workers.

join me next week for part 2 the A-Z OF CHOCOLATE!

if you have any question or just want to say hi, pop over to www.youtube/com/user/ThePathofenlightment
you can even stay for tea and biscuits!

cadbury month preview

next month my famous non-wrestling theme months returns with a nostalgic tribute to a staple in my childhood,in your childhood in most of our childhoods. more than films games or tv.

chocolate.
or in this cause cadburys chocolate the brand about to hit America.
last year kraft bought the british institiution and added milka to its folder.
Milka was before it was bought by kraft so expensive, that shops would only stock it at christmas. today its a worldwide francise.

cadbury if your not from ireland,europe or the commonwealth will be a new expierierence for Americans so join me for a trip down candy-land this month in
