- If you could make any new chocolate bar, what would be in it? (Be as detailed as you like!)
- What would you call it?
Thanks very much in advance for the responses!

You know, a hell of a lot of people come on with this line.
How many of you "project-workers" are employed by manufacturers?

Mr Gilbert, Coconut and Cherries.
I would call it Cabana
Get the message!!!

If i believed that anything would come of someone in the industry actually listening to us I might be tempted to reply.
First, why don't you answer a question Mr Gilbert - who is your client and what are the chances of us getting what we ask for??

I'm currently doing my GCSE in Business Studies - this is coursework. I
have about 7,000 words under my belt and to finish it off I need to
come up with some ideas for name and a product.
My idea for the product is either a Crunchie bar but with a different
type of chocolate (maybe dark or orange or even white?) and call it
Crunchie Twist, but I don't know if this will work or not.
I should have expected this question has been asked many times before
and anticipated the response, but this is due in in a few days time and
I want to get it finished as soon as I can! :D
Apologies for not explaining myself fully.

Raisins, biscuit pieces, coconut, cherries, milk chocolate and plain chocolate, caramel, mallow and rice crispies.
I'd call it "You Fat B*stard, you!"

Whoops! Sorry Mr Gilbert. yes, you're right, we have been asked this many times before by business studies students. i think it's about time they changed the curriculum!!
The Crunchie with dark/orange chocolate has been done before. White chocolate would not go with the honeycomb. Crunchie is perfect as it is. What I think would work would be a bar filled with malt honeycomb like Maltesers.
Another idea is to combine chewy marshmallow with turkish delight and cover it in rich dark or milk chocolate. I would call this a Valentines Bar.
At all costs avoid the ubiquitous biscuit/toffee.nougat combinations. be original but sensible. Go for the luxury end of the market. Combine ginger and fondant cream with an oriental name? Or raisins and ginger. What about rum-soaked raisins in cherry fondant with an exotic name - exotica? Does that sound too porno?

I'd like something nutty covered in marzipan.
Hehehe, I bet you would.

Well you would win your bet because yes I would.

Sorry Mr Gilbert, I would like to see a bar with ginger pieces, held together with crunchy rice and covered with dark orange chocolate.
I would call it a Quetzal.

bounty your idea sounds nice and I think Quetzal is a good name.
Post by: on June 05, 2005, 04:27:06 pm
I would like to see more nut varieties added, macadamia, cashew, brazil, etc.
Nuts to that!

I would like some orange flavoured milk chocolate, but the British public just isn't ready for such a radical, far out idea.
Er, apart from the Chocolate Orange? Or Dairy Milk Orange?
