Cadbury Burnt Almond Dark – Decent Dark Chocolate with Crunchy Almonds

Cadbury Burnt Almond

If you’re looking for a chocolate bar without too many frills, Burnt Almond is right up your alley.  Featuring a scant seven ingredients (which is impressively low for a mass market product like this), it’s just dark chocolate and toasted almonds.  Sometimes the simplest things are the best.

It’s quite tasty.  Is the dark chocolate here going to blow anyone away?  Not likely; it’s decent enough, but it lacks the complexity of better quality chocolates.  Still, it gets the job done.

Cadbury Burnt Almond

As you’d expect from a chocolate bar called “Burnt Almond,” the almonds are front and centre.  The almond chunks are generous, and their very toasty flavour does a great job of balancing out the bar’s sweetness.  They also add welcome pops of flavour that bring some interest to the somewhat one-note chocolate.  And they’re nice and crunchy, which works quite well with the bar’s creaminess.

  1. Burnt Almonds was my late mother’s favourite and I love it too.
    Problem is that I haven’t seen them on any shelves here in Montréal.
    Wish I had one now.
