What does a blogger do when an amazing friend surprises you with a box full of British chocolates? You collect up a kid and do a taste testing for “review” purposes! In this case, Ben was more than willing to help me delve deep into the box and choose two candies to try out. I know that it’s a real struggle and trial for him, but he seems to be pretty good natured about it.<\/p>\n

Today’s choices are the Cadbury’s Double Decker bar and the Cadbury’s Daim Eggs. Since he’s being so good natured about this, I let him choose and I’ll reveal his opinions first.<\/p>\n

Cadbury Daim Egg (Solid Milk Chocolate Eggs with Caramel Almond Pieces) :\u00a0<\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>
\nBen<\/u>\u00a0– This doesn’t taste like Hersheys but it’s good. I could taste a lot of caramel and the nuts. The chocolate was sweeter than what we usually eat. It might be too sweet for me.<\/p>\n

Mom<\/u>\u00a0– I agree with Ben. It is certainly more sweet and I was immediately hit with the caramel flavor. However, I never got the almond pieces. Perhaps I was expecting something a bit chunkier when it came to the nuts, though. Overall, it’s honestly a piece of candy that I could have one of, enjoy and be good for the rest of the day. It might be great for those trying to cut back on candy consumption!<\/p>\n

Cadbury Double Decker Bar (Layers of crispy cereal and nougatine wrapped in delicious Cadbury milk chocolate. )<\/b><\/p>\n

Ben<\/u>\u00a0– <\/b>I enjoyed this one better than the other one. I liked the crunchiness of the cookie portion. It wasn’t as sweet, either. I could eat this for breakfast every day, even if it’s not healthy.<\/p>\n

Mom<\/u>\u00a0– I agree with Ben, again! (Wow, agreeing with a teenager twice in a row has to be a new record of some sort!) This one certainly wasn’t anywhere near as sweet as the Daim. Thank goodness! When I tried the nougatine (that so sounds like nicotine in my head), I got a very strong flavor of coffee and even after eating it together, I was left with a coffee aftertaste in my mouth. Oddly enough, while the individual components had good flavor, when combined, it mellowed out into something that wouldn’t stick out in my mind.<\/p>\n

All in all, British chocolate is in a class all its own and we’re looking forward to trying out all of the other flavors in this box!
