Cadbury’s Turkish Biscuits
Cadbury recently brought their milk chocolate bars into the biscuit market, with these Turkish Delight biscuits, as well as Caramel and Crunchie biscuits. These are, according to the pack, ‘A delicious shortcake with a Turkish Delight flavoured jam, covered in milk chocolate’. I’m a big Turkish Delight fan so it’s nice to see Cadbury offer it in other forms, and it’ll be interesting to see how it is with shortcake.
The pack is standard Cadbury fare. It looks almost identical to their bars, with the dark purple Cadbury theme and the large amount of light purple for the Turkish Delight, as well as a picture of one of the biscuits. Honestly there’s not too much else to comment on in regards to appearance, Cadbury have their own distinct look and they stick to it, so let’s open the pack up.
Now as you can see we have a long plastic tray with eight biscuits within. Straight away you can tell that these biscuits can’t be shared round too much, there simply isn’t enough, as compared to the majority of other biscuits on the market. I broke one in half to show what it looks like within, and it yielded quite easily. The shortcake is soft but firm as it should be, and the Turkish Delight is thinner than in their regular chocolate bars, but there is less space for it to fill as the biscuits are fairly flat, as opposed to the chunky chocolate bars.
These do taste quite nice as you’d probably expect. It’s rare that Cadbury’s put a bad product on the market, the downside of this though is that it’s hardly anything new. It tastes very similar to a regular Cadbury’s Turkish Delight bar, except with a biscuit taste added in, that’s stating the obvious a bit because that’s exactly what these are, but it just doesn’t excite me. If you like Turkish Delight and you’re looking for something just a little bit different, give these a go. These are quite nice, Cadbury’s chocolate is good stuff and the Turkish Delight isn’t too sweet and has the traditional rose flavour.

I bought some today and think they are lovely, too much of the turkish delight would be too much with the chocolate and shortbread. They are small but I think maybe they are more of a little indulgance than a normal size biscuit is. They go down well with a cuppa!
