Cadbury’s Mint Flake
Another lovely Australian product, here is a Flake from Cadbury with the chocolate in the middle flavoured with mint, and coloured green. Why not!?
I’m not the biggest Flake fan or the biggest mint fan, so suffice it to say I’m stoked for this bar. Of course the chocolate is CADBURY’S DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE as they like to show off constantly, so yeah, that’s all I have to say about that.
The first ingredient is confectionary, made up of nearly every other ingredient on the list, well that’s both wonderful and confusing, and somewhat wonderfully confusing. The ingredients are also listed in French I think…for some reason. This is made and sold in Australia and New Zealand only so I’m not sure why French is needed, is there a large French speaking population? I’d love to know as long as you don’t talk my face off.
So as you can see and as I mentioned the bar is green on the inside and CADBURY’S DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE on the outside. The CADBURY’S DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE provides a sort of protective shell for the flakey-like minty chocolate which stops it crumbling everywhere, which I am thankful for. Despite the chocolate being so thin though it shares the flavour with the mint, so it’s definitely a half and half bar.
The mint isn’t really that impressive. It tastes a little bit like toothpaste only it’s rotting my teeth and I don’t usually eat toothpaste unless I’m particularly hungry and particularly lazy, and this type of particularity has never occured to me. So did I enjoy eating it? I guess so, I was also impressed that it made such an epic journey across the globe and survived so well, so bonus marks there, but I can’t see myself craving this ever again, and if I did, well I have some CADBURY’S DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE and some toothpaste myself, and I’m not afraid of experimenting, baby.

The bars are exported around the Pacific including French Polynesia - thus the need to have both languages on the packaging!

Sounds and looks Peppermint Aero - old hat! Not that I’d expect any originality from those makers of chocolate-flavoured candy at Cadbury!

It doesn’t really look like a flake at all. Weird branding there
