Chips Ahoy! Popcorn Candy Chip Review

Chips Ahoy! Has been released in the UK!

It has launched with two varieties, this one which is a Popcorn, Candy Chip (Smarties type thing) and chocolate chip, and the other one is a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips, cornflakes and caramel crispy bits.

This one is certainly the slightly blander of the two, with the greatest comparison to be drawn against Maryland cookies. The slight saltiness from the caramelised popcorn is a nice touch, and the texture of it is it's biggest draw - slight chewiness from the popcorn and an interesting mix with the candy chips and the chocolate chips.

It was good, but the other ones are better! Check out the other review to read more about that.

Three stars for this one!

Cadbury Dairly Milk Chips Ahoy! Review

I was really surprised to see this combination of Chips Ahoy! and Cadbury chocolate - afterall, we don't even HAVE Chips Ahoy cookies in the UK, so why their debut is in a Cadbury bar....I have no idea! It's curious. I can't imagine the brand would have that large of an impact over here, I'm not sure it's very well known. I find the packaging fairly unremarkable.

I really hope the Chips Ahoy cookies show up in the UK so that I can try them - the flavour in this chocolate bar is really lost among the other ingredients - the delicious, sweet, creamy classic taste of Cadbury Dairy Milk, and the very strongly flavoured, slight vanilla notes in the biscuit flavour creme.

It is a rather delightful bar, as one would expect from such a powerful brand, and an institution of British chocolate.

Description - Cadbury Dairy milk, with pieces of Chips Ahoy! Cookies and a biscuit flavour creme filling.

Rating - Four stars

Availability - At the time of writing, I have only seen this in Tesco supermarkets.

Cost - £1
