Bought one of those little Freddo Frog eggs as a treat a couple of days ago.
Yes it's small, and they're saving money on the packaging by put the Freddo Faces loose inside the egg, but the taste
Seemed like a dodgier Hershey's bar to be honest. with a sort of sickly / sour taste. It didn't come across as anything like normal Cadburys chocolate to me (although it's not amazing anyway).
Either a dodgy one, or the recipe has worsened.

sorted byThey have also had their recipes changed, to save money and increase profits. Primarily the reduction in cocoa or coco solids. The increase in the use of vegetable or palm oils and more sugar or worse still, glucose fructose syrup. There are also a lot of bars with extra added things like biscuit, fruit, cereals or jelly bits. As it pads the bar out, so they can use less chocolate as the other ingredients make up the weight.
Real chocolate doesn't contain vegetable or palm oil. Only coco fat or oils from the cocoa. That is why a lot of chocolate is so hard and waxy now.
Galaxy chocolate is way better than Cadburys.
Cadburys has gone from one of the better chocolates to not much better than nestle crap.
I do tend to eat mostly M&S 100% cocoa chocolate and 85-90% varieties. Maybe these have changed the way I taste sugary chocolate?
My wife thinks the Buttons egg was made in the UK, but I'm not so sure.
I know that since they changed the recipe, I've eaten less Cadburys chocolate. Do they not realise they are pushing us to other chocolate brands, or even worse we stop eating chocolate and eat other things.
Bring back our old milk chocolate. (edited)
