Penguin and Club Bars can no longer be called Chocolate

The BBC reports that Penguin and Club Bars can no longer be called chocolate because the coating doesn’t contain enough cocoa solids. The price of chocolate has rocketed so much that the bars will now have a chocolate flavoured coating. 

i would prefer to buy real chocolate coated biscuits less often than I do at present, rather than consume chocolate coated biscuits that taste of plastic.

It’s such a shame that chocolate has become so expensive. It feels like we are going  back in time to the16th century, when cocoa beans were so expensive they were used as currency and were kept under lock and key.

  • don't think I will be eating Cadburys products any more.

    Perhaps we chocolate lovers should campaign Cadbury's to give a proportion of profit from these artificial sweets to rainforest farmers, to enable them to find an allied alternative crop; sugar or suitable fruits and nuts which could be incorporated into chocolate bars.
