This is a bit of an odd one. A Cadbury's branded product, made in Egypt, imported into Europe by a Dutch company and sold in a discount shop (B&M Stores). Cathy found this while looking for something else and thought I might like to try it. She was right.
The "crisp" in Crispello is apparently some kind of biscuit, although it had the crunchy consistency of puffed rice. There's a slight salty tang to it that offsets the sweetness of the chocolate really nicely.
The bar is composed of 4 decent-sized pieces which makes it easy to break into bits to share. If you want to share, that is. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't!

Here in Australia we have Oreos coated with Cadbury chocolate and branded Cadbury (the mint ones are quite nice). I've noticed the same with them: Manufactured in Egypt. Which means you have an American biscuit, coated in a British* chocolate, manufactured in Egypt and sold in Australia.
ReplyDelete* When I visited England, I expected at least the Dairy Milk to be the same as ours, but no, blocks were a different shape and size and tasted different. I like both, but was taken aback that they were different.
That makes it a truly global snack. I will have a look and see if other "mainstream" Cadbury products are being manufactured in Egypt.
