Nothing beats the classic taste of Cadbury’s chocolate, right?
And when I saw that B&M stocked the much loved and dearly missed Dream bars, I wondered what other Cadbury’s creations they had stocked on their shelves.
I felt like I’d hit the jackpot when I discovered some never-before-seen (by myself, at least) flavours imported from down under.
Some of them are similar, reinventions of some of our favourite bars - like the Top Deck Caramilk, while Neapolitan was a gorgeous trio of colours that tasted like ice cream.

The Aussie chocolates were previously pretty hard to come by, but now B&M stores are offering shoppers the chance to try a whole range of unusual imported bars.
I found four wacky Cadbury’s flavours in my local B&M store, but there’s even more to be had in larger branches, from Rocky Road and Top Deck Picnic to ‘Hokey Pokey’ with honeycomb.
Here’s what I found, and my verdict on the Aussie snacks.
Cadbury’s Top Deck Caramilk
The Top Deck bars see a layer of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate, with a ‘top deck’ of different flavoured chocolate. Not only does it sound amazing, but it looks great too, and it is very satisfying to unwrap.
The Top Deck Caramilk gives a half-and-half bar of Dairy Milk and Caramilk - a caramelised white chocolate that is simply dreamy.
The chocolate is very smooth, but seems to taste sweeter, or more sugary than regular Cadbury’s - a little like how American chocolate feels all the more naughty.
Cadbury’s Top Deck
If you prefer regular white chocolate, then the original Cadbury’s Top Deck is the chocolate treat that’s the best of both worlds.
It’s got that velvety milk chocolate taste paired with the sweet white Cadbury’s dream at the top of each bite.
While extremely novel and fun, it does get a little sickly after a while - especially as the bars are chunkier than your UK Cadbury’s bars.
When these chocolate bars first hit B&M Stores, they were £2.99 a bar, but they’ve since been reduced to £1.49 - and on manager’s specials, they’re just £1.
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Neapolitan
What a flavour combo. If you love ice cream and have a sweet tooth, then Neapolitan may just be your next favourite treat.
This was the most appealing bar to peel back the purple paper on, revealing a Dairy Milk base, strawberry flavoured centre, and Dream chocolate to top.
Upon tasting, this melt-in-the mouth bar was heavenly, and the strawberry flavour really packed a punch. This would be amazing in summer for melting to dunk fresh strawberries into.
Of all of the bars, this is the one I kept dipping back into throughout the day.
Cadbury Dairy Milk with Pascall Snifters
I’d never heard of Pascall Snifters before, but they’re an Aussie mint flavoured treat that’s been included inside this Cadbury’s creation.
This was the chocolate bar that has the most fragrance, with a rather overpoweringly minty scent.
Biting into the bar, I expected the green mint-flavoured lumps to be crunchy, like honeycomb - but instead, they were more like marshmallows.
Fans of After Eight mints will love this bar - as that’s exactly what it tastes like!
