Caramilk is one of those bars that I like, but really only need to eat once every few months, because it’s so insanely sweet. It’s kind of like a Cadbury Creme Egg in that respect (and Cadbury, perhaps not coincidentally, makes both products). Caramilk is not available in the States, though according to Wikipedia, Caramello is pretty much the same product. I’ll have to verify that for myself the next time I get a chance.
The bar I’m reviewing here actually isn’t the standard Carmilk, it’s Caramilk Thick. It’s pretty much the same thing, only the squares are slightly bigger and seem to have a slightly higher chocolate to caramel ratio. The increased amount of chocolate actually works fairly well here, as the caramel is throat-burningly sweet, so a little bit of it goes a long way.
Of course the main selling point of a Caramilk bar is the consistency of the caramel; it is much softer than the usual caramel, and it flows rather easily (it’s probably a similar viscosity to a caramel sauce that you might put on ice cream). It’s pretty hard to eat without making a mess, so it’s advisable to pop an entire square into your mouth rather than trying to bite it in half. The chocolate is standard Cadbury milk chocolate, and is of a fairly high quality.
Overall this is probably a minor improvement over a regular Caramilk, thanks mostly to its increased chocolatiness. It’s also slightly easier to eat, as the segments are in one straight line rather than rows of two like the original, so you can just take a bite instead of having to break a piece off first.

Nice review. Surprised there is actually a difference in taste betwen the thick and normal Caramilk. Also, isn’t it just good manners to give special props to the purchaser of the rare candy bar for making the review possible?
J’aimerais acheter Caramilk Thick de Cadbury mais on m’a dit qu’il n’y en avait plus sur le marché.
Est-ce vrai ?
Si oui, pourquoi ?
Il est si délicieux !
J’attends votre réponse. MERCI !
