Cadbury's Dairy Milk will come in a low-sugar version

I rather liked this particular comment

It's less sweet (unsurprisingly). In standard Dairy Milk the sugar masks the fact that it's not actually very good chocolate. And in the reduced sugar version there's nowhere to hide. And if it's not lower calorie, what is the point?

LOL !
 
I regard this development with the same thought as alcohol free beer, or decaffeinated coffee. What’s the point?

If you don’t want to eat fatty sugar, don’t eat CDM. At least Cadbury are continuing with the proper stuff. You know where you are with CDM, the longer lasting hypo treatment.
 
I was in a Cadbury's outlet store today and was suprised to see them also selling Green and Blacks chocolate too!

Not really surprising, they're both owned by Mondelez!
 
Since refining my palate to accept 85% dark chocolate I can no longer eat CDM and its ilk! 😱 🙂 I bet it's still not as bad as American 'chocolate' 😱
 
I sometimes have the high cocoa content chocolate but those who claim to 'satisfy their cravings with half a square of 500% chocolate' I say that's a load of b******s, you can't beat a whole Wispa. :D

I just can't get to like the dark chocolate just tastes so wrong, might have to give the new lower sugar one a try.
 
Ah well I have an advantage - I grew up with mom's favourite chocs being Black Magic. No we could not help ourselves to her Birthday/Xmas/Anniversary treat from Dad - but she wasn't so mean she never offered us one!

My fave was butterscotch, Gill's was liquid cherry but she had to compete with mom for that, whereas a) I still love butterscotch and b) I soon discovered that others in my family didn't !

Having said that - all the centres of those were more interesting than any other chocolates back then. My sister never really took to dark choc whereas I've stuck with it - well before D a Granny Smith's and a small bar of Bournville, bite and bite about was a special indulgence for me.

Of course B is far too sweet for my adult palate - but I spose your taste buds have to grow into better chocolate the same as they do both food and drink unless you start young enough!
 
Is this a reincarnation of 'suitable for diabetics ' chocolate 😱 that comes with a warning and you only try the once?

They better not reduce sugar in wine gums and jelly babies like the article suggests. When we need it, we really need it!
 
I used to kid myself that I only liked 85% and a small portion would satisfy me
Nope, I like all chocolate and could cheerfully consume large portions of whatever percentage coco solids versus additives
Result: chocolate does not enter my home too often!
 
I have disgustingly unrefined taste in chocolate I’m afraid. Give me a bag of those sickly chocolate mice (especially pink ones) and I’m very happy! :D
 
Hotel Chocolat Supermilk is low sugar, high cocoa but unlike the dark chocolate I can’t stand & diabetic chocolate, it’s completely delicious. Expensive yes but since I’m on a diet I’m avoiding the shop for now!

Ooo this sounds very interesting Sally. I always give that shop a wide berth but I’ll investigate further! 😛 Thanks.

I see it’s 28.6 carb per 100 grams
