Cadbury Curly Wurly

25 Oct 2009

This candy caught my eye with its interesting name, Curly Wurly. Because of its colorful packaging, I thought it might be some fruity candy, but at closer look, I realized it was Cadbury brand milk chocolate with caramel. Not only is the “Curly Wurly” name interesting, but even its shape is longer and thinner than the average chocolate bar.

The Curly Wurly is a long strip of milk chocolate with an inner layer of caramel. It is very thin and has a unique design with a lot of holes. The bar feels very fragile and limp, but is also very stretchy from the caramel filling. It tastes good, but not great. Of course, the milk chocolate and caramel go together very well, but it wasn’t anything special. It tastes like Twix, but without the cookie filling. So, you can imagine how “empty” the Curly Wurly tastes.

My overall impression of the Curly Wurly bar is that apart from its eye-catching packaging, the actual taste is very average. The caramel is soft and chewing the bar made the caramel stick to my teeth, so I ended up just sucking on the Curly Wurly instead. For about a dollar, it won’t hurt you to try it, especially if you are a caramel fanatic. If you too prefer hardened caramel, you can always put it in your fridge before eating.
