Ditto about Cadburys especially Curly Wurlies and Buttons. Ordering 2 dozen at a time is sooo dangerous! I have no will power:)

My local World Market has bucket loads of Double Deckers and big Buttons... personally, that is all I care about. Although I do love a good curly wurlie :)

I love them, I also like crumbling them on top of the cream on my pavlova. And an after eight in each slice as a decoration.
Think thats my fav type of Pavlova but a raspberry and cinnamon, and a lemon curd are very close runners up!

It's one of my favourites. The base is made of crispies and chocolate...topped with soft nougat...all covered in delicious Cadbury's chocolate.

The've been available for years...maybe 20 or so. They've only changed in taste recently...perhaps within the last 6 months. :(

I must be spoiled.. The wife went ot the British store in Wilmington for Valentines for me, got me a big box off Bert Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts, a curly wirly bar, 2 Mars Bars, 2 Dairy Milk bars and a Yorkie bar...... I'm in heaven and no I ain't sharing!

Although I am taking orders for the trip in March, will be the first time I've been back since I came over 4 years ago.

I nearly lost the curly wirly bar though when I gae her a bite... although I did limit her to 1 bite lol.. yeah I'm mean :)

Just to say, I am munching down on a Curly Wurlie right now:D I have a Cadbury's fudge bar too but I will keep consumption of that to myself;)

One of my fav chocs back home was Cadbury's Milky Bar - white chocolate and delicious. Imagine my surprise when I was at my local Indian store and they have one called Dream Bar..it is the same one!.....b**strds again!
