The woman who I spoke to with regards to getting these Dairy Milk samples told me that the Apricot bar was her pick of the two. I wasn’t sure I would agree with her as I’m not the biggest fan of apricots and quite frankly the Cranberry bar sounded nicer. After eating that though, I’ve got to say I’m hoping the apricot bar is better otherwise disappointment will loom its ugly head.

So this is again a 200g milk chocolate bar except now we have big pieces of apricot as well as “crunchy crumble pieces”, I’m not really sure what they are but they’re made up of wheat flour, wholemeal flour and other random things. Either way it gives the whole fruit and nut experience, with soft and crunchy. The packaging again is quite nice, orange and yellow theme is pretty, I like it.

And there’s our bar. Once again it doesn’t look huge, but because of how thick it is…well, it is 200g. One thing I really like about this bar is that you can actually taste the fruit! It surprised me that when I bit into an apricot I could taste it. A shocking development, and the crunchy crumble pieces can be tasted too…kinda. They don’t carry the same taste as nuts but register about the same as the granola. The apricots are tangy and sweet, and just give the bar the fruity taste that I’ve always wanted it to have.

Overall, I’m impressed. It’s a nice bar, I enjoyed it. It’s still not fantastic but that’s just fruit and nut in general, but I’d definitely recommend this over the slightly unimpressive cranberry bar. If you’re a fruit and nut fan then you should check this out, if not then there’s nothing really here for you.
