Double Decker - confused!

To me that is strange sounding, in that the two textures don't contrast, rather your jaws are operating at different speeds for the nougat then the raisin.

Hey, what do I know?

Hiya,

Just eating a double decker and was thinking about the whole raisin thing so googled and found this thread.

I emailed cadburys back in Jan 2003 about this and they changed the recipe in 1986 after consumer research - though I don't recall being asked    They first came out in 1978 if anyone is interested/cares

Reckon they should do a limited edition with the raisins back in...

According to my mother they did the same with Star Bar and Picnic - she reckons Star Bars used to be like Boosts, and Picnics didn't have raisins!

Maybe they needed the raisins from the double deckers for the picnics   Can't imagine a picnic without raisins.

Why are they taking all the raisins out...it won't be long and all bars will be pracitcally the same!

if they changed the recipe in 1986 that wud have meant i'd have been one at the time, so i definately would not remember there being raisins in double deckers.

i love the DD with nuts and i adore chocolate with raisins but i cant stand peanuts and raisins together in chocolate (picnic- yuk) and it spoils the Revels to get peanut and raisin ones at the same time
