I think one of the trends for 2019 is going to be dark chocolate. We have already seen Cadbury release a Darker Milk chocolate, Galaxy are doing the same and I’m looking forward to writing about it. Here we have a boost of a classic chocolate from Cadbury but in a new format; New Bournville Giant Buttons.
Bournville is a go to cocoa for me, mix a little of the powder with sugar and hot milk and you have a drink that can complete with a lot of the more expensive brands of hot chocolate. Otherwise I have to confess to not interacting with Bournville as a brand very much, unless they have a Limited Edition flavoured bar out of course. I did like the recent rerelease of Cadbury Bournville Orange Dark Chocolate.
These Bournville Giant Buttons buttons then are referred to as “giant” and are pleasingly large, but not huge. The chocolate discs are a dark brown in colour and are relatively thin. I gave one a try and found myself really loving the flavour, dark yes but sweet too. I liked the way it combined the bitterness of the cocoa, but with plenty of sweet. The chocolate was moreish and tasty, and I ate far too many of these Bournville Giant Buttons in one go. The chocolate may be too sweet for a dark chocolate purist, but as a snacking chocolate with added cocoa it worked for me. I might have to pick up a bar of the regular Bournville chocolate and remember not to overlook it in the future.
