Re: Why Don’t Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Easter Eggs Melt?

I put the rest of smashed up chocolate egg outside in the sun and it softened but didn’t melt. I spread it like butter on top of the cake and it seems fine.
I don’t think that chocolate liked the microwave at all!


I did have a Lindt bunny rabbit too but that’s for me and not to be wasted on top of a cake!

Anti-melt has been incorporated, then .....

Cadbury's say:

Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate is a rich dessert chocolate and therefore hard to melt. A plain chocolate like Bournville is very much easier and more successful in cooking.

Both need to be 'tempered' carefully which is extremely difficult to do at home successfully.
Having never heard of tempered chocolate, I can only point you in the right direction ......

Possibly Kraft has reduced the amount of cocoa in the chocolate.
Made it to the American taste. Revolting to taste like those Hershey bars. One bite and straight in the bin.

Re: Why Don’t Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Easter Eggs Melt?

This explains a lot!

On 4 August 2011, Kraft Foods announced they would be splitting into two companies beginning on 1 October 2012. The confectionery business of Kraft became Mondelez International, of which Cadbury would become a subsidiary.[70][71]

In response to diminishing margins in early 2014, Mondelez hired Accenture to implement a US$3 billion cost-cutting programme of the company's assets including Cadbury and Oreo. Beginning in 2015, Mondelez began closing Cadbury factories in several developed countries including Ireland, Canada, the United States, and New Zealand and shifting production to "advantaged" country locations like China, India, Brazil, and Mexico. The closure of Cadbury factories in centres such as Dublin, Montreal, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Dunedin in New Zealand generated outcries from the local populations. The plan received approval from several market shareholders including the Australian and New Zealand banks Westpac and ASB Bank.
It is now made in 'warm' countries! Mondelez have taken over Toblerone as well - it tastes vile now!
