Is that the brand? If so I've never heard of it.

Ohhhhhh. Cadbury used to be widely available here. Now we can only get it
at places that sell imported foods. I believe it is a Canadian brand. I
will look for it.

Cadbury is an English brand. It is their equivalent of Hershey or Nestle,
and not particularly good IMNSHO, although it is better than Hershey. It is
sold in supermarkets here.

I admit a fondness for Mint Aeros, dating back to my schooldays in England.
Since then, they've come out with an orange flavor that is even better. But
the orange is not available here.

and iirc has recently been purchased by mars or mestle, but can't remember

I used to like the Cabury's Quality Street assortment . when I wa a
teenaer I thought it the height of sophiticated candy-imported from
England and that nice tin. How tastes and times change:-)

There was a wonderful very hard butterscotch candy whose name is missing.
something like Cadwallenders,. It came in rectanglar blocks, marked in
squares, wrapped in silver paper in boxes with, IIRC two blocks about
4"x2 2/1" Boy was that good!

Oh all these sinful childhood memories:-)

You tried the Werthers sugar free one ... not bad :-)

I don't think Cherry Ripe has been the same since Cadbury
started making them in the 60's (well they don't taste the same as when
I was a kid :-))

originally made by MacRobertson who was the guy who sponsored the
original London to Australia air race in the 30's
they also made the original Freddo, Old Gold and Snack

Still haven't had one in years ... bugga now you got me thinking about
those cherries coconut and dark chocolate.

I've never heard of it, but I do know the song that the name refers to.

Personally, if just eating a bar, I prefer a GOOD milk chocolate. (Not
Hershey!) But bars are not my favorite way to eat chocolate. I prefer
ganache and truffles. I like ganaches for cakes to be made with good dark
couverture, and truffles with a combination of milk and dark.

The truffles I sell are usually a combination of two chocolates selected
from a palette of three, all single bean origin El Rey from Venezuela: Gran
Saman (70%, dark and earthy), Mijao (61%, dark and smooth), Caoba (41%, a
milk chocolate with caramel notes that contains a lot more cocoa mass than
most milk chocolates). I combine them differently depending on the flavor
I'm aiming at. Most of them are dipped in Mijao, although a few milk
chocolate ones are dipped in Caoba (Peppermint Mochaccino, Latte Amaretto,
and Mint Julep).

In my experience, people talk a lot of BS about how they "only like dark
chocolate." Usually while they are scarfing down my truffles made with half
Caoba, dipped in Mijao. Normally I don't tell them what they are raving
about. I recall one stupid young woman who was reaching for a second sample
who actually drew her hand back when I told her that contained some milk
chocolate. On that occasion I couldn't resist telling her that she wouldn't
ever have known if I hadn't told her. The milk chocolate is there to give
the ganache extra creaminess and a little sweetness. It doesn't dominate the
flavor.
