Cadbury Crunchie

Day 46.
I am reviewing another Cadbury product today. In honor of the Winter Olympics in my opinion, if there was a Chocolate Olympics it would be a tossup between the USA and UK. I realize that most "sophisticated" chocolate palates would probably give the gold to the Swiss but I don't like dark chocolate! The Crunchie was originally created in 1929 by Fry's who later merged with Cadbury.

Logo: Milk Chocolate with Golder Honeycombed Centre.


Appearance: D- Very unusual product. Normal milk chocolate covering but its the center that's unusual. Its hard and honeycomb looking...almost aerated like the Cadbury Wispa but not soft. And the middle is darker.
Aroma: C Chocolate with hints of burnt sugar
Texture: C+ Hard, crunchy and crumbly
Flavor: D Sweet delicious Cadbury milk chocolate but the middle tastes extremely sweet and has a hint of burnt sugar

Calories: 185 cal/serving. One package. 40g.

Rating: D+
Comments: I love Cadbury but this is not my cup of tea! Too sweet and I did not the burnt sugar taste

Hershey's 5th Avenue

Day 24.
Wow. I was looking forward to having a 5th Avenue as I don't ever remember having one as a child but after I opened the package I found the chocolate all melted to the wrapper and the peanut butter broken up. Evidently the bars had been left in the heat...and I purchased the bar at Toys R Us so beware. I have heard that the 5th Avenue is similar to the Butterfinger.

Logo: Crunchy Peanut Butter in a Rich Chocolately Coating.
History: William H. Luden famous for his cough drops created the 5th Avenue bar in 1936. Acquired by Hershey in 1986.

Appearance: Layers of peanut butter in a stratified fashion. An oily sheen is noted. Chocolate everywhere on the wrapper.
Aroma: Nice peanut butter aroma with a hint of chocolate.
Texture: Crunchy crispy texture that flakes off a you eat it.
Flavor: Mainly of peanut butter but also of molasses.

Calories: 280 cal/package. 2 oz.

Rating: D
Comments: Very poor quality control. Check your candy bars when you shop at Toys R Us. Despite the condition of the bar it was still edible and reminded of a Butterfinger.
