Cadbury's Chocolate is 200 years old

Still as yummy as ever

I love Cadbury chocolate from the UK! Do they still sell the Cadbury Brunch Bars over there? I was obsessed with them on my last trip and brought some home with me, but can’t find them here.

The Cadbury branded stuff we get here is not real Cadbury chocolate. I think it’s Hershey, which isn’t nearly as good. Sometimes I can find the real thing in the international section of the supermarket or at a specialty shop, but it’s not a huge selection of products.

I love Cadbury, we actually have a Cadbury factory here in Tasmania Australia. I think it is the best chocolate, due to the milk ratio. We used to do the factory tour here every year until WHS rules meant they had to shut them down around 15 years ago. I have toured Cadbury factories in Tassie, Birmingham, and Dunedin in NZ. We have tried Cadbury chocolate from around the world and my favorite was actually Ireland as it was somewhat creamier - this was almost 30 years ago though so it might have changed.

I've been told I need to try chocolate from somewhere other than America because the difference is pretty large. I just don't know how to go about doing that because I doubt I'll ever travel outside of the US in my lifetime.

Do you ever make it to Southwest Ohio, Tippy? If you're anywhere close, go to Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati - it's a HUGE grocery store, liquor store and international grocery. They've got sections for England, Germany, Denmark (and many, many more). They've got a lot of chocolate (and other candies, sweets and foods) from Europe (and beyond).

I certainly go close enough that I could make this happen! Thanks so much for the info! Any specific country's chocolate you'd recommend?

You can't go wrong with anything from England or Germany, as far as I'm concerned. I also like black licorice and salted black licorice from Denmark. And stroopwafels (though you can get a decent sub for that at Aldi while they have their German Oktoberfest stuff in stock (like now).

When I can get there, I do a lot of shopping for spices and specialty items in their Asian, Mexican and Indian foods departments.

There are now 2 Jungle Jim locations in Cinci. I've only been to the original, and that's the one I would recommend:
Jungle Jim’s International Market Fairfield - 5440 Dixie Hwy, Fairfield, Ohio 45014. It's definitely a trip. And it can take hours to go through, if you like to shop and look at things. (And make sure to take a trip to the "world famous" restrooms near/in the liquor department.)

Lindt is Swiss, Godiva is Belgian, Tony's Chocolonely is Dutch - those are all available in the US. Though I think they all have factories in the US and I have no idea if they cut any corners that way.

I have no idea about that, but I've been told that it's just not the same unless it was made in any of the other countries. I have no idea if it's true or not, but I figured it was worth going the extra mile just to see if it's worth it.

You can go right to Aldi and pick up a couple of bars of Moser Roth, which is made in Germany. I recently gave in and tried some and it is lovely. Rich and smooth. And I believe only $1.69 a bar.
