and Cranberry and Granola.
Found these today in a supermarket. I had forgotten they were coming out.
The cranberry one is quite nice but I'm not a big apricot fan. Biscuit with dried fruit.
At least it is a bit different fare than the usual from the big guns.
7.5/10

ooooh nice what supermarket!?
-
My version of the CO-OP.
-
What's Granola??
-
According to Wiki:
Granola is a breakfast food and snack food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, honey and sometimes rice, which is baked until crispy. During the baking process the mixture is stirred to maintain a loose, breakfast cereal type consistency. Dried fruit, particularly raisins or dates, are sometimes also added.

So, it's a ceral bar then?
-
No. It is pieces enrobed in chocolate. Click on the picture to see it enlarged.

Can't wait to try these! :p
-
Yeh same! I had a good ol' search round town yesterday but no luck :(
-
It's certainly innovative - just not sure i'm looking forward to it :)

What's so innovative about it? They've simply added some bits of biscuit and dried fruit into standard dairy milk chocolate. The granola thing is hogwash to make it sound fancy.
I had the apricot one the other day and was unimpressed. It didn't taste especially unique in any way.
-
Well it's more innovative than yet another nut or truffle bar.
I found both of these in the Co-Operative (thanks Paulham!) and despite the price - £1.79 a bar - was very impressed. I prefer the texture of the crumble to the granola, but I love cranberries so it's still a winner for me; or at least it was until I fell asleep on the train using my bag as a headrest and squashed it :( My only reservation is that Cadbury tried a limited edition Cranberry Crunch a few years back and it died a death, so I'm not sure this time will be any different.
-
Hmmm, you either got big bars Smurfy or you paid a crazy price for a 49g bar!
-
The new Cadbury Dairy Milk variants should be prominently displayed at launch to increase visibility and drive purchase, and will retail at RRP £0.49 for 49g bars
-
"prominently displayed" - pah, my local coop had the apricot one but I only saw it on a second scan of the shelf. Looked like all the other products. Mebbe cadbury should do the old trick of putting them immediately on offer to get a bit more appeal?

I got big bars (greedy Smurf) - even Cybercandy wouldn't charge that for a 49g bar!
Re: display - The Co-Operative had them in one of those bin things.
-
I still haven't been able to find one!
-
Sainsburys have them now :)
-
That twat Oliver will have "lisped" all over them.
-
Eeww, I hope not.
-
Found them today in Co-Op (our Sainsbury's still didn't have them). So this time (for Paulham's benefit!) I bought one, tried it, and was not impressed!
-
Have now tried the Cranberry and Granola and thought it was delicious- would definitely buy again but I suspect it won't last.
-
I thought that too, GC. The apricot is perhaps ok if you like them but the cranberry has more flavour and better texture.
-
I prefer the flavour of the cranberry but the texture of the apricot. God I'm pernickity.
-
cranberry is good for the waterworks.
-
To be honest, i think they generally have more success with sand filtration and a dose of chlorine.
-
:) LOL
-
Our local Sainsburys has sold out of the Apricot, but has nearly two full boxes of the Cranberry left. If you'd have asked me to guess I'd have said the Cranberry would be more popular.
-
No accounting for taste. ;)
-
I was keener to try the Apricot Crumble but actually much preferred the Cranberry - might have to find another one today.
-
I see the advertising for these has appeared now.
-
Yes on every bus shelter in Newcastle.
-
I think there overpriced and not that great!
Apricot is just wee bit added in the biscuit bar
-
Got given a free bar of the cranberry one and it was much nicer than apricot.
-
I had two pieces of an apricot one today and threw the rest away (I was on my own). I could hardly taste any apricot but after two mouthfuls I felt my tongue and throat swelling up and starting to itch. I am allergic to brazil nuts and wondered whether they used brazil nut oil or something. I am so lucky not to end up in hospital!
-
Poor you! That was a close thing!
They really have to label properly. If any Brazil nuts are involved in its manufacture then they must say so.
-
I hope you feel ok now oldspice. You should write toCadbury and let them know what happened to you.
-
I'm fine thanks Lou. I don't actually know what caused the reaction. It could have been some sort of extract of brazil nut but the reaction was not as severe as usual so it could have been something else in the chocolate. I have been suffering more allergic reactions lately as my eczema has flared up and I have been sneezing and wheezing all week because we bought a new matress! Must be my age.

Chocolate is the voice of passion and love, whether it is the love of chocolate itself or as an expression of love for another human being. Valentine's Day or Saturday, chocolate is the perfect gift for those we care about or just want to impress. Here are some online chocolate shops with some truly extraordinary products.

You know it's strange, but I'm sure I've read that before somewhere....
-
Well for what it's worth, I MUCH prefer the Apricot. They are absolutely gorgeous and so hard to get hold of too. They sell out immediately in my local shop so you have to get in there quick! Nobody seems to be buying the Cranberry though. I didn't like them myself...
