Cadbury Snack
35 reviews
Definitely not what it used to be – The individual pieces are tiny compared to what they used to be causing the flavour ratio to be off. Also I don’t think the flavours are as good as what they used to be either. There’s no “punch” now and what is there underwhelms. This was my favourite for over 20 years but now I’m all but done with it
Cadbury snack block – Recently brought few blocks of Cadbury snack in Coles healesville and a quarter of the chocolate are missing the filling. It's like solid chocolate instead of the filling normally in snack. So instead of having like pineapple strawberry orange inside was just chocolate
90% of bar is solid chocolate – Just bought 2 Cadbury Snack bars and there are only fillings in a couple of squares in both packets. If I wanted solid chocolate I would not have bought the Snack one. Show details

Banana And Caramel – There is a new Cadbury Snack that is flavoured Banana and Carmel. It’s actually quite lovely almost reminds me of banoffe pie in a way. The banana part of it reminds me a little bit like milkshake syrup and the caramel is your everyday caramello. However Together makes a delightful treat. Show details
Something for everyone! – Love that you can try different flavours and only have to buy one block. I’m always indecisive so this is the perfect choice. The only reason I don’t like it is im not a fan of Turkish delight Show details
I always love a Snack – Snack is just great for sharing, whatever flavour you don't eat someone else will love the others. My favourite flavours on Snack block is Pineapple and Turkish delight. Maybe Cadburys could make a pineapple and Turkish delight block. Yum!!

What happened to this classic?!? – When I was a kid, Cadbury had an orange cream filled chocolate block which was my favourite. That got phased out and then the only orange cream to be purchased was in the snack bar. Orange and Turkish delight were my favourite flavours. Tonight I was craving the orange cream flavour and tried the snack bar after not having one for some time. The… Read more
verdict:
The caramel was at least distinguishable. Orange and pineapple flavours were barely discernible with no tang. Worst, the coconut and strawberry ones tasted like someone made a mistake and left the flavouring out altogether. I could only distinguish by the design on the top of each square and the legend on the packet. As has been mentioned in other posts, the Turkish delight, which used to have a nice, slightly firm jelly consistency, was very runny. I could just make out the rose flavour.
A disappointing discovery to say the least. Cadbury, please check your recipe and staff who are making this. If there’s issues getting flavours or understanding them, come check out the far north. Coconuts, vanilla beans, pineapples, oranges and strawberries are all grown up here. Not to mention sugar cane, coffee and cocoa beans - plus dozens of exotic fruits, nuts & spices. …..Can’t eat the roses. But very ripe dragonfruit is a good rose flavour substitute. You can really try true flavours up here. Just not currently in the Cadbury’s snack chocolate bar.
Used to be my favourite chocolate – Cadbury has screwed up the recipe. In the 90s this was amazing. In the 00s this was amazing. Today it tastes bland, with smaller pieces. Cadbury is well known for messing around with chocolate recipes and this has to be their worst screw up. The strawberry no longer tastes like strawberry and the pineapple is bland. I’m not sure how you can screw up a classic so bad!!!!!
More like Cadbury Laxative – Had me running to the toilet dumping a kidney and 3 Cosby kids out within minutes. If you like spending quality time with your arse firmly attached to the porcelain throne whilst your heave your intestines out then I can highly recommend Cadbury Snack! Show details

date ruiner – bought this as a fun change of pace and we were intrigued by the simple title: snack. six delicious flavoured centres, it boasted. our interests and our appetites were peaked. a few stressful things happened during the day and we could NOT wait to have dessert. but..... this was no dessert. at best this is a fun guessing game of what flavour is… Read more
the grossest. at worst it’s torture. our palettes have never felt so insulted. it should be noted that neither of us could finish a single square. we were having fun mocking the mediocre and baffling flavours but THEN we tried the orange and apple one. it wasn’t funny anymore... i don’t know what’s worse the texture or the flavour. i just hope if you’re reading this, this saves you from our pain. the “coconut ice” tasted like weird granulated milk. the texture of everything was all off, not to mention the flavours.
buyer beware!!!!!
Dreadful disappointing chocolate – Snack chocolate used to be so enjoyable with luscious soft centres now it's revolting I won't be ever buying it again. Why do manufacturers always think change is a good thing? It certainly isn't in this case! Show details

It is not perfect and I can live without it – No coconut ice anymore why do you bother with that horrid caramel that nobody likes its always left as with in a box of roses and what have you done to that box of chocolates they are pretty nasty as well, I always asked for them as a present but not anymore. Show details
Euw. NO centres – If I wanted plain chocolate I would have bought the dairy milk. Instead of the lush flavours of snack I got a gobful of disappointment. Gross. Won’t be buying that again. Show details
This is disappointing – I just bought a block of Cadbury snack chocolate from the local store, and when I go to take a bite out of the strawberry, pineapple and coconut ice all I bit into was hard chocolate, it seems like instead of filling the squares with the flavourings they just cheaply filled it with hard chocolate. Very disappointing Cadbury.
Ordinary – 40 yrs I bought the original snack block, you changed the flavors as well as the texture. I suspect to make more money. You have ruined a fantastic product.
Goodbye Childhood friend – I was after comfort food, a nice warm hug from an old familiar friend. I haven't had snack in over 20 years, so when i saw it, i bought it hoping for happy memories. I now feel like crying. Where do i even begin? There are now 5 flavours, not 6. Coconut ice is GONE. The turkish delight isn't set like a jelly, it now "flows". Ugh ghastly.… Read more
There isn't enough fondant in the remaining 3 squares to ameliorate the cheap, nasty chocolate.
Thank you for destroying my childhood memories eating snack '-(
A Childhood Favourite! – I still love this, even as an adult! The Caramel one is still my favourite, and I now also like Strawberry and Coconut Ice, as well as Turkish Delight (don't care much for Pineapple and Orange). Overall, a great snack!
Tess looks ungrounded – My friend Tess and I just smashed the back out of a block. Now we both feel edgy. Think we might lay off the fondant for a while. We ate it so fast we didn't even register the coconut ice flavour. Dastardly.
Please have the pineapple block available as i love this flavour! – Today i bought a whole block of the pineapple snack! I was surprised to see it being sold in the IGA. I normally get the snack bar and rummage through to get to the pineapple flavour. I like the orange, mint and turkish delight flavoured ones too. I don't care too much for caramel. I've been known to leave about 5 of the caramel bits on the side and end up either eating them or throwing them out.
Where Is The Coconut Ice?! – Just ate a Snack chocolate bar and afterwards I felt like something was missing...... I felt...... empty. Then I relised.... THERE WAS NO COCONUT ICE FLAVOR! For that, you get 3 stars instead of 5. Couldn't you have taken caramel instead? Also please stop shrinking the bar size and providing less filling, you are killing me!!

Jelly filled Chocolate! – I could say snack is super sweetned jelly filled Chocolate. More over the sugar content in chocolate shells is very high. Artificial flavours in this chocolate makes more worst.
Too many caramel pieces – There are more caramel bits than the other flavours. If I wanted that many caramel bits I would have bought a Caramello bar. Stop the conspiracy, decrease the caramel bits and increase the strawberry, orange, pineapple bits NOW!!!!!
Worst flavour snack, coconut ice – Did you always have that flavour?It is horrible, no one eats it in our house.Taste like a perfume or toilet spray ew,I dont remember that flavour years ago.Pineapple is the best flavour, but can't find that anywhere. Is the pineapple block only made sometimes? Or sold in different states.But cadbury is the best chocolate in Australia. Snack is my favorite. Except for that coconut eww Coconut flav.
this is tragic – I know the snack block has changed several times over the last 35 years or so Howver it always remained my favourite until now The fondant is now a cheap tasting watered down sugary liquid The chocolate is not as creamy. I wont be buying it anymore Sad another favouite product has,been destroyed. In fact this is the first review i have ever… Read more
written. That is how big of a tragedy it is. It is now a cheap nasty tasting product.
A cheap watered down sugary product
Sickly Sweet :-( – OK so I have an extremely sweet tooth, and Cadbury's would always be my first choice in chocolate. However this is just awful. The fillings are too sweet and you wouldn't be able to guess the taste of the fondants if you hadn't read the packet! Steer clear of this bar and opt for the plain or nutty Cadbury blocks. Sickly sweet. Flavours not great.
Lacks depth, literally! – Snack was my favourite Cadbury block chocolate growing up. My favourite flavour was pineapple. I bought one today and felt cheated. The old style had distinctive moulded shapes, a crack of the top chocolate and you sunk your taste buds into a gooey sweet sensation. Not so with the new product. It's a lack lustre row of blocks with a thin band of… Read more
soft centres. The base of the chocolate is too thick. There is no depth to the bite. The moulds lack character, esp the pineapple and strawberry.
Change for the sake of change is a new age failure by the majority of manufacturers. Why change an already successful product?
The picture on the packaging implies moulds similar to the original. Note the contours in the shapes and depth. The new ones are flat as a pancake.
Another golden gem destroyed. No more purchases for me of Snack! Nice chocolate though a tad too sweet for me.
Nasty sweet stuff you would never know it's supposed to be chocolate and it is TOO THICK.
Love the variety – This has been my favourite chocolate bar of all time. The variety is the winner. Sometimes you just need a different flavour of chocolate and this one has them all. My favourite is pineapple and strawberry, i wish they made whole blocks of both but i havent been able to find them. And the chocolate is just as delicicous as in a whole block of the… Read more
plain. Love it, and you can always pick them up on special for a great price The variety, the pineapple and strawberry, price Not enough pineapple
Great flavours all in one bar – Cadbury Dairy Milk Snack block has the same great milk chocolate with a range of different flavoured contents including caramel, coconut ice, turkish delight, strawberry, orange and pineapple. It makes a great change from having all one flavour but makes it hard when you have only a couple of favourite flavours in the block. Personally I dislike… Read more
turkish delight, so this ruins the block for me. Favourite flavour of the whole block is the pineapple. Works so well against the milk chocolate. It is available in two different sized blocks. It is also a great gift when you don't know what flavours people like as there is sure to be something they do like in the block. Available from all good supermarkets and convenience stores. Competitively priced. Lots of different flavours. Fairly priced
Excellent – Mmmm I'm licking my lips just thinking about it now! It's definitely the best of the Cadbury range, with the Rocky Road one closely behind. Each block just oozes out with flavour, followed by the velvety texture of the outer chocolate layer. It's a great family pick with so many different flavours, you'll be able to please everyone. The taste is… Read more
AMAZING! Large variety of flavours. You can't find whole bars of Pineapple or Strawberry and they're the best flavours! I don't really like the caramel and it seems a little out of place with such exotic other flavours.
Good – Overall, this is one the better Cadbury treats out there. I like that it's so varied and that each and every piece is actually very tasty. I definitely have my preferences - with the strawberry and orange flavours - but I also like the other flavours. I'd recommend this as an individual snack which should be eaten in moderation. Not appropriate as… Read more
a gift, but could be used for parties since it's so varied. Delicious, delicious, delicious. I love the strawberry flavour especially, and the orange one just melts in my mouth.
Well priced, as most of Cadbury's products are. Reasonable size, though should probably pack a little more in it.
