Double Deckers (chocolate bar)

I'm slightly uneasy abt crunchier u may be right but I think twix is a fair nomination I just amnt mad on twixes

Just tried a double decker for the first time. It was a bit of an ordeal to eat: ridiculously tough caramel base accompanied by a slightly unpleasant tasting biscuit section. The most that can be said, I feel, is that it lasts a lot longer than most other snacks.

1. It's not caramel
2. You were eating it upside down

lol and otm also dont eat it out of the freezer

I think it was probably stale.

I'm not sure if I don't like Double Deckers as much as I did in the 80s or if it's just that the only place I decide to buy them now is the work sandwich van, which despite no refrigeration serves all its produce (inc. perma-green bananas) at arctic temperatures most of the year round

I was gonna say Fuse but I forgot they had nuts in and also apparently they don't exist any more

damn you I'm supposed to be on a diet but breakage via chocolate is all too possible as flatmate has left a big pile of Dairy Milk in the kitchen and also I still have a box of Thorntons in my room after I carried it all round the country as an emergency present in case any aunts/uncles I'd forgotten existed turned up to xmas festivities (PS don't feel sorry for me, I just had a Kopparberg, a couple of vodkas and a bag of prawn crackers, so the diet is already p. much dead)

go for it imo

darragh said he would mail me a double decker

idnr but am certainly willing

I had a Double Decker a few days ago and was disappointed that it wasn't like I remembered it - the lack of raisins now is a real problem. It's like the bar has lost it's raisin d'être.
Also this morning I had a Cadbury's Dairy Milk with Oreo pieces. Not bad, but could have done with more Oreo and less of that (noticeably cheaper since the Kraft takeover) milk chocolate. The thing that I like about Oreos is that that they have a dark chocolate taste, and it didn't really come through so much here.

The nougat stuff is a lot fluffier now

This is also a problem - it's like the stuff in a Milky Way now.

Meanwhile on a less disappointing tip, on Saturday I had a peanut butter Chunky Kit-Kat and it was rather good.

i never look up uk candy bars on wikipedia because i like encountering the ineffable mystery of "Choctums" or w/e in threads like these, imagining the display aisle containing the assortment, etc. is "Slightly rippled with a flat underside" really a selling point?

raisins?

Originally the bar contained raisins within the base layer, however consumer research in the mid-1980s led to these being removed and the current formulation being introduced.

ah yeah I'm not ancient

the gutfill sector

Cadbury's Dairy Milk with Oreo pieces

oh i love these

but i agree about DD's

Basically Double Deckers are now half Milky Way and half biscuit Boost, which is so totally not what they were about originally.

is "Slightly rippled with a flat underside" really a selling point?

It makes more sense in context...

deckers nothing like milky way tbh

The nougat is now.

Unless they've made Milky Ways even lighter.

I wouldn't know, because I'm all about that deep-fry-this-bastard type heavy chocolate, like a double chocolate Mars Bar or something.

I had a Fry's Chocolate Cream this morning for the first time in years, and was disappointed that the fondant centre tasted like toothpaste.
