Going Nuts

Cadbury have brought out a new 'More' 3 block selection, and we have never tried the Lindt Les Grandes, and there is a new white chocolate almond in that range.  We felt it was time to delve into some nutty and fruity blocks that are now available at the local supermarket.

We bought:
Cadbury More with nuts and salted toffee
Cadbury More Old Gold with fruit and nut
Cadbury More with mixed roast nuts
Whittakers Peanut Slab
Whittakers Fruit and Nut
Lindt Les Grandes almonds with white chocolate
Lindt Les Grandes Hazelnuts

CADBURY DAIRY MILK MORE WITH NUTS AND SALTED TOFFEE

165G block
24% cocoa solids
8% hazelnuts
10% peanuts
7% salted toffee
This was very sweet and it did have some saltiness.  Chocolate is very mild.  There is lots of crunchy bits for texture.  This was Johanans favourite because of the toffee bits.

​CADBURY DAIRY MILK MORE WITH MIXED ROAST NUTS

165G block
24% cocoa solids
15% Peanuts
5% Cashew nuts
5% Almonds
This has more sweetness rather than chocolate flavour.  The nuts were nice and fresh in flavour, you can mostly taste peanut.

CADBURY MORE OLD GOLD FRUIT AND NUT

45% Cocoa Solids
16% Sultanas
9% Almonds

This is sweet.  The chocolate is actually quite flavoursome with some fruity cinnamon notes to it.  This was a favourite for Joni and Big Bruce also really liked it.

WHITTAKERS PEANUT SLAB

50G bar
33% Cocoa Solids
35% Peanuts

We like the creamy milk chocolate and there is a good mouthful of peanuts.  It is sweet.  It is yummy.  This is an old favourite of Big Bruce, and is nice  in the summer when the bar has been chilled in the fridge.

WHITTAKERS FRUIT AND NUT

250g block
33% Cocoa Solids
14% Raisins
14% Almonds
Creamy with the milk chocolate and you get the raisin and nut flavour.  As a preference we liked the sultanas in the Cadbury more old gold block, over the raisins in this.

​LINDT LES GRANDES WHITE CHOCOLATE ALMONDS

150G block
30% Cocoa Solids
32% Almonds
The white chocolate flavour is very mild.  This bar is a little bland.

LINDT LES GRANDES HAZELNUTS

150G block
34% Cocoa Solids
34% Hazelnuts
Nice strong flavour of hazelnuts.  The chocolate is smooth and very sweet.  

FINAL THOUGHTS
Nuts and chocolate are not our normal buying choices when we buy chocolate, except for the occasional Whittakers Peanut Slab.  Peanut Slabs have this yummy chocolate flavour and has lots of peanuts that sometimes you are in the mood for.

Cadbury Old Gold More Fruit and Nut was a pleasant surprise.  This block had yummy chocolate and fruit flavours and we liked the choice of sultanas over raisins. 

The biggest disappointments were the Lindt Les Grandes.  These were on the expensive end of supermarket brand chocolate at $6.99 for the 150g blocks and were our least favourite out of the range we bought.
