I always love it when Cadbury introduce something new to their Dairy Milk range. Dairy Milk is my favourite brand of chocolate, the one I always go back to even if if have a dalliance with other makes! So when I was sent two bars of my favourite chocolate, one with Oreo and one with Daim bar, I was very keen to sample them and transport my tastebuds to Joyville.
I genuinely wanted to experiment in the kitchen using the new Dairy Milk as an ingredient, but it didn't last that long. Me and the girls dived right in. The Cadbury Dairy Milk with Oreo is filled with delicious cream and cookie pieces. Ella's favourite cookies are Oreos so she loves this combination of Dairy Milk chocolate and Oreo pieces...two of her ultimate treats in one perfect collaboration.
The newest member to the family is the irresistible Cadbury Dairy Milk with Daim; the melt in the mouth yet explosively crunchy, buttery candy. Combining pieces of Daim within the creamy milk chocolate makes a mouthwatering combination. It is moreish, flavoursome and each chunky square of chocolate contains the perfect amount of crunchy Daim pieces. Utterly delicious.
The bars come in a 120g size, perfect for sharing (if you are generous enough!) with an RRP of £1.42.

Aero chocolate with its bubbly, light and airy texture has always been a favourite with my little ones. The different flavours include orange, mint and milk chocolate, providing a yummy range whatever your taste. They also do bitesize Aero Bubbles and Aero Biscuits. They are bubblicious!
I used a big bar of Aero in this recipe for a Red Velvet Tray Bake! The basic recipe is adapted from Edd Kimber's book "The Boy Who Bakes". It's easy to make straight into a foil tray, and can be decorated really quickly using a tub of frosting and some yummy crumbled Aero chocolate.
