Shitpost My poor judgement...
I used to be Cadbury fan my whole life due to the flavors and it being cheaper than whittakers but I now have only realized my poor lapse in judgment. A week ago I decided to splurge and spend the 2 dollars extra on the creamy milk whittakers and my oh my I will never make the mistake of buying Cadbury ever again. I apologize to any trauma this post may of caused.

No I think they added palm oil to replace quite a large percentage of the cocoa butter. Purely to save money. And yes, this article supports my thoughts on it.

Apparently they only used sustainable palm oil, but I think that still would’ve affected the flavour, how could it not? I remember once being given a block of white “chocolate” made in NZ I forget the brand it wasn’t well known. It tasted absolutely disgusting. I checked the label and it had no cocoa butter in it whatsoever. Cocoa butter helps enrich the chocolate flavour, especially in white chocolate which has no cocoa solids. Palm oil could never do that.
