one month passes...

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.

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

local eire man (darraghmac), Monday, 2 March 2015 18:35 (nine years ago) link

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.
