When it comes to sweet treats, everyone has their favourite. Some love a classic bar of chocolate, while others crave the tangy kick of sour sweets or the nostalgia of boiled sweets from childhood. But for me, it has to be chocolate—without a doubt.
After spending time working on cruise ships and travelling through Costa Rica and the US Virgin Islands, I came to a surprising realisation: Cadbury chocolate just doesn’t taste the same outside of the UK. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s a bit… gross.
Why Does Cadbury Taste Different Abroad?
If you’ve ever travelled and tried to satisfy a chocolate craving with a familiar brand, you might have noticed something was off. That’s because chocolate recipes are adjusted for different countries based on local ingredients and regulations. In the US, for example, Cadbury’s recipe is different due to food manufacturing laws, which means it lacks that smooth, creamy taste we all know and love here in the UK.
So, after all that time away, one of the things I was most chuffed about when I got home was being able to enjoy a proper Cadbury Twirl again.
The Ultimate Chocolate Experience – Easter Edition
While Twirls are an everyday favourite, if we’re talking about the best chocolate of the year, Easter is the time to indulge. Why? Cadbury Creme Eggs.
There’s something about the gooey fondant centre wrapped in that perfect layer of milk chocolate that makes it a treat I look forward to every year. Whether you eat yours in tiny bites, crack it open and scoop out the filling, or just pop the whole thing in your mouth (no judgement!), there’s no denying it’s a classic.
