Dark chocolate has a distinctly bitter flavor profile that is loved by some and hated by others, so the new Cadbury Darkmilk chocolate bar has been unveiled by the brand in the UK as a treat that is something of a hybrid alternative.
Made with a mixture of dark and milk chocolate, the candy bar contains 40% cocoa solids along with 14% milk solids to make it applicable for consumers in the UK who aren't fans of traditional dark chocolate. The candy bar has a distinctly creamy flavor that is balanced and bold, and comes in both 'Original' and 'Roasted Almond' flavor varieties to suit different preferences.
The Cadbury Darkmilk chocolate bars will be available for purchase in September from Tesco locations.
