Cadbury Marvellous Creations White with Jelly Beans and Popping Candy (Asda) By @Cinabar

I will never grow out of my childish love of popping candy, when I see it included in a bar of chocolate I can’t wait to try it. I have always been a fan of texture in chocolate and food in general and popping candy just adds to that. I was quite pleased to see some of the Master Chef finalists used popping candy in their desserts too, so it is not just me that likes it!

This new bar from Cadbury is a white chocolate bar with jelly beans and popping candy packed in. The bar is quite pretty and put together like a bit piece of crazy paving. It looks nice but it does make it a little more difficult to share. The back of the bar is very bobbled and made me think it was full of rice crispies so I checked the ingredients and it was, even though that didn’t get much of a mention on the front of the wrapper.

The chocolate is very sweet but lots of fun to eat. The texture is incredible, the rice crisps add a lovely light crunch, the jelly beans a bit of fun chewy stickiness and then when you have finished the chocolate your mouth gets an initial fizz and then pops and crackles, which always makes me smile. The flavour is very sweet but creamy from the white chocolate and the jelly beans adds a fun sugary fruity kick too. Although it is a big bar the richness of the flavour meant i only had a strip, it is fun to eat and one for the sweet toothed, but even I found it quite full on!
