A milk chocolate bar with a jelly center is what best describes Fry’s Turkish Delight. What flavor jelly, you ask? Good question. Unfortunately, glancing at the wrapper provides no answer. The only clues its purple wrapper present are that it is “full of Eastern promise” and that it is “as good as ever”, which one would hopefully assume given that the bar has been in existence since 1914 (more on that later). The mystery behind the Turkish Delight was enough for me to want to try it.

frys turkish delight 2The Fry’s Turkish Delight bar consists of a thick layer of red/purple jelly surrounded by a thin layer of milk chocolate. The jelly, to me, has the perfect consistency since it is soft and chewy. After taking a bite, I still had no idea what the jelly flavor was. So with the help of my friend, Google, I was able to find out that the jelly is flavored with Otto of Roses, which is basically rose oil. Further research reveals that the Fry’s Turkish Delight was invented in 1914 by J.S. Fry & Sons. The company later merged with Cadbury but kept the candy’s original name. The bar itself, at 1.8 ounces, is really small for a bar of chocolate. I would equate it to the size of about two fun-size Snickers bars.

frys turkish delight 3I bought the Fry’s Turkish Delight bar for $1.61. A little pricey for such a small bar of chocolate. At first, I was not a fan of this bar, but after several bites, it started to grow on me. It’s actually not bad. I especially like the uniqueness of it. When do you ever see chocolate bars with jelly centers or rose flavored candy?

Also known as simply the Cadbury Flake and Cadbury Flake Dipped, the wrapper depicts an image of the bar featuring a thin layer of chocolate with a textured, flaky inside. However, flaky it is not.

cadbury flake luxury 2The actual chocolate looks like a longer and taller Twix bar. I took a bite and surprisingly, there was no crunch. I expected the inside of the bar to be flaky and crispy, as advertised on the wrapper and its name. But, it was all false. The flavor tastes very milky. You can bite into it easily as it is soft and seems to crumble in your mouth. Not in a good way though, unless you like creamy, milky chocolate.

cadbury flake luxury 3I am not a fan of the Cadbury Flake Luxury chocolate bar. It wasn’t completely disgusting, but it isn’t something I’d ever buy again. I find nothing luxurious about it, except maybe its $2 price tag. Every time I take a bite, the dry chocolate makes me thirsty for water. Cadbury also manufactures Flake Snow and Flake Dark, the white and dark chocolate versions. However, after how well this review went, I have no desire to try them.

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. cadbury curly wurly 2It 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. cadbury curly wurly 3The 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.
