CALLING ALL CHOCOLATE LOVERS!!

Have you seen the new Cadbury Marvellous Creations? Or better yet tried them? Cadbury have added a few more delicious options to satisfy our sweet cravings. The Marvellous Creations now includes 3 special edition carnival inspired bars and blocks that are bound to get your taste buds doing somersaults and if that wasn’t enough they have also added 3 new bite size flavours to the range. Each contain the unique textures and ingredients we have come to expect from the Cadbury Marvellous Creations range. So what are these new varieties?

Cola Popping Candy Fizz which is popping candy and fizzy crunch coated in Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate with a kick of Cola. I am personally not a huge fan of this flavour however a friend of mine LOVES IT!! It is a personal preference but lucky for me Cadbury has pleased me with many of their other delightful treats.

Orange Lolly Orange Chew Fizzy is quite a mouthful to say but according to friends this is quite delicious. I am yet to pick myself up one of these to try so I will have to take their word for it, until I get some in my hot little hands anyway. I am told that each bite provides a mouthful of different textures and while you would expect orange to be the prominent flavour, it isn’t.

*takes deep breath* Toffee Apple Chew Toffee Apple Chip Crunchy Bits is for the toffee apple lover, just in case the name didn’t give that away. It is full of toffee as one would expect but it’s like chocolate coated toffee that has been rolled in toffee chips. Too much going on in my opinion but again it’s a personal preference.

I am very excited by the miniature Marvellous Creations. I have tried 2 of the 3 new ranges. The Jelly Zingers are fizzy fruit flavoured lollies covered in Cadbury milk chocolate. They aren’t too chewy but because they are so damn tasty you will finish a bag pretty quickly, especially if you enjoy chocolate like I do. You can not stop at one! Some of the lollies contains more ‘zing’ than others which is like a bit of a surprise with each piece.

The Caramel Shakes are inspired by the caramel milkshake but with a twist. Featuring a caramel infused crisp outer shell and  a crunchy caramel in creamy milk chocolate centre. These are very moreish and a hit with everyone in our house.

The Toffee Nutter is another I haven’t yet tried but I am told it is a must try for all toffee nutters out there! A combination of toffee crunch and a soft peanutty centre coated in Cadbury milk chocolate.

HAVE YOU TRIED THEM? What do you think?
