I emailed Cadbury recently about the idea of a Caramel Flake and this
is what they said:
"Whilst I am unable to reveal future marketing plans,I can inform you
that we have already explored very similar ideas to the one you
outlined. Our Research and Development Team, in partnership with
the Marketing Department continually investigate new product
ideas..."(bla bla bla)
To me it seems as though they are basically admitting that they will
do a caramel Flake, though I'm not sure. What does everyone else
think?

I think it would have to be chewy. I'm also slightly suspicious of their statement - it sounds a bit like they like the idea, but don't want someone else taking the credit...
Sounds nice by the way.

I can't remember what I wrote to them with-a new bar suggestion, obviously, and got the exact same reply.
I haven't seen sight of anything that I might have proposed, but good luck if they take you up on your idea!

I do hope they do a caramel Flake...I can just imagine biting into one
with a line of caramel running through the centre and it oozing out.
Yum!

No worries!
You could have left me a note or something, though.

Withdrawal anxiety, on top of everything else...
Oh, god!

Yes. Something like that.
A mint one would be nice. Maybe in dark chocolate.

mint and dark, how cool

Mmmmmm. Thick milk chocolate Flake with mint cream in the middle. Pale green mint cream - like Pyramint.
Sounds nice, but I reckon it's far more likely to just be mint flavoured chocolate - or maybe with mint chips like the Praline one.

it would just be stupidly messy.
If it was runny caramel it would seep through the flakey chocolate, and if
it was hard and bound the bar together then it wouldn't be flakey
chocolate.
Post by: kevvosa on March 08, 2005, 05:39:29 pm
amount of Flake chocolate around it, but still with the caramel in the
centre. The caramel doesn't have to seep through the Flake and nor
would it.
I'm sure the Cadbury boffins would easily figure out a way.

It'll have to come with it's own little tray to eat it off.

This just reminds me of secret.

Only trouble with that is that Secrets were neither caramel filled nor actually flakey!

so messy it came with a little cardboard tray to catch it as it fell to pieces.
