Every year, July 7 marks World Chocolate Day - an annual celebration of all things chocolate and the perfect excuse to spend 24 hours indulging yourself in your favourite treats. There are so many options today and we've seen an abundance of new bars, flavours and more capture the taste buds of youngsters and adults alike. Whatever the individual claims, Fry’s can truly claim to have a long and rich chocolate history, pioneering several ground breaking and cocoa grinding techniques along the way. Founded by Joseph Fry, a Quaker, in the mid 18th century, the Bristol based, the company made the first solid chocolate bar in 1847. The global version of Milky Way has a slightly different recipe than the US version and does not contain caramel. Milky Way bars were first introduced in the United States in 1923 by the Mars company and have since become a popular chocolate bar around the world, including UK. Fry’s Chocolate Cream Aero Mint Chocolate is a type of chocolate bar that is known for its light, bubbly texture and refreshing mint flavor. It is manufactured by Nestle and is a variation of the original Aero chocolate bar, which was first introduced in 1935. Twirl is manufactured by Cadbury and was first introduced in Ireland in 1984 and launched in the UK in 1986.
Not long after came the first filled chocolate sweet in 1853 and then in 1866, Fry’s Chocolate Cream launched mass produced chocolate bars into the British market. Confectionary shelves and shops the world over have never been quite the same again. The process for making Cadbury Flake is a closely guarded secret, which no other chocolate manufacturer has ever managed to recreate. The thing about chocolate bars is that you don’t have them every day. Most of us can go a few weeks without having a proper, nailed-on, individually wrapped chocolate bar. When we do have one, we return to old favourites. Drifter was a chocolate bar that was first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1980 by Rowntree’s, a British confectionery company that was later acquired by Nestle, a Swiss multinational food and beverage company. Cadbury Fudge is a brand of chocolate bar that is known for its soft, creamy fudge center that is coated in a layer of milk chocolate.
Fry's 5 Centres
To illustrate the differences between the two eras of selection boxes, Roses, like Quality Street, had their flavours specifically made and wrapped in coloured foil compared to Celebrations and Heroes later using brands that already existed. They were introduced in September 1999 as a response to rival Mars' Celebrations (more on them later) and the box contains miniature versions of various Cadbury chocolate bars. Across the globe, Twix has also featured milk dark and white chocolate versions as well as orange. There’s even been a Twix with mint flavoured caramel.It’s definitely one of my favourites, perhaps because of the extra layer of chocolate between the biscuit and the caramel that gives Twix it’s satisfying feel good taste and makes the chewing all the more rewarding. A number of big names have completely disappeared and we've seen the miniatures in the sweet tins become a distant memory. Liverpool Echo curated a list of 61 chocolate bars and flavours from yester year.
Cadbury Flake is a brand of chocolate bar that is known for its delicate, crumbly texture. It is produced by the British chocolate company Cadbury, which is owned by Mondelez International. Are you be-twixted? It’s not actually, (to my knowledge) a tag line for advertising Twix chocolate bar, but perhaps it should be! With a biscuit base coated with caramel and typically milk chocolate, Twix first appeared in the UK in 1967. The uncompromising milk chocolate exterior gives way to a soft and sweet centre which literally does melt in the mouth – like a glacier ice patch in summer. The Swiss may have a reputation for neutrality but the decision to change the content of Toblerone left very few people on the fence.
Toffos
The honeycomb toffee centre is cut up using jet of oil which create sharp, jagged edges which are then covered in milk chocolate and cooled.In the UK, Cadburys, the current maker and Britvic, combined to make a limited edition Crunchie Tango.
Onto the box that led to the development of Heroes - Celebrations launched two years prior to the Cadbury equivalent. There are two varieties of Milky Way bars: the US Milky Way bar, which is sold as the Mars bar worldwide, including Canada, and the global Milky Way bar, which is sold as the 3 Musketeers in the US and Canada.
Roses
Who says a chocolate bar has to be sleek and glossy with a smooth, even texture? Picnic Bar is lumpy and when I first bought a bar I was disappointed as I thought someone had squashed it. Peanuts, puffed rice and even raisins are added to a biscuit base and covering in chewy nougat with caramel and milk chocolate. Long before Europeans consumed chocolate, it was a part of the culture of ancient civilizations such as the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs - who even used cacao beans (the seed from which chocolate is made) as currency. It’s a close call but on a personal level, Heroes just about edges it when it comes to which box our family opts for over the Christmas period. Chomp is produced by Cadbury, a British multinational confectionery company. The bar has a layer of caramel that is coated in milk chocolate.
Bitz bars were first introduced in the United Kingdom in the 1990s and were later discontinued by Kraft Foods in the early 2000s. Snowflake In the 1920s, Cadbury Dairy Milk was introduced in other countries around the world, such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In the 1950s, Dairy Milk became one of the first chocolate bars to be advertised on television in the UK, with the famous slogan “a glass and a half of milk in every half pound” emphasizing the bar’s high milk content. Snowflake was a brand of chocolate bar that was produced by Cadbury, a British multinational confectionery company. The bar consisted of a crumbly flaked white chocolate center that was covered in smooth milk chocolate.
Golden Cup
In many European countries it went under the name Raider for many years. In the US, where it was launched in the late 1970’s, there have been many additional flavours, such as Peanut Butter. Twix Java with coffee flavoured caramel, expresso and milk chocolate sounds appealing with a caffeine infusion of any sort.
