Flake is one of those candy bars where the title really says it all – it is extremely flaky. It’s basically just plain milk chocolate, molded in such a way that it becomes very flaky and delicate. It’s not a particularly attractive bar, resembling an old tree, or an extremely old piece of chocolate, if chocolate were able to grow old and become wrinkly.
Other than the very different presentation, it’s essentially just Cadbury milk chocolate, though it does seem a bit sweeter than usual. It’s also not quite as creamy as you might expect, with a slightly grainy consistency, however that might just be because the bar I had was a bit on the stale side (the packaging indicated that it was due to expire in a couple of months).
The real highlight of Flake is its signature shape — it has an appealing crumbliness in your mouth, which makes it a bit more interesting to eat than a standard piece of chocolate. It’s kind of like Aero or Mirage in that sense, so it’s a bit more exciting than your usual bar of plain milk chocolate (not that plain milk chocolate isn’t exciting, but sometimes you want something a bit different).
