They actually did some months ago... but had to revert back to the traditional recipe after all the complaints.

“May 2009 - Australian Chocolate lovers are outraged at Cadbury’s decision to add vegetable fat to its Australian chocolate range“
August 20, 2009 – Australia
“We are removing palm oil and returning to a cocoa butter only recipe for Cadbury’s entire moulded block chocolate range
Palm oil is a cheap source of vegetable fat which is used to extend the shelf-life of UK Cadbury's chocolate. http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/press_..._20052004.html
