With all the new Cadbury products lining the shelves at Poundland recently, I was surprised to find another one nestled in with the chocolate bars. This is Dairy Milk Silk, which is like Dairy Milk but smoother apparently. Upon further research I discovered that this isn’t a new UK product, but in fact an established brand in South Africa and India. Not that that’s disappointing, it’s nice to get some import stuff for a low price.
Well, this is Dairy Milk, which is always a good start. Looking at the list of ingredients, they’re identical to your classic Dairy Milk bar, so I guess it’s a slight change in ratios or production that give this a smoothness, It may have just been my brain expecting a different taste, but this bar does seem to possess a different texture than regular Dairy Milk. It is somewhat thinner and smoother in shape than the chunky UK bar, and it seems to melt in the mouth slightly faster. I also detected a bit more sweetness than I’m used to, despite the overall texture being smooth there was a hint of sugary grittiness, which isn’t too bad, but it didn’t sit well with me in comparison to the classic.
