Cadbury Curly Wurly Bar (Pack of 60)

Product Information

Having a whole chocolate bar to myself when I was younger was always an enjoyable indulgence but if you got the chance to have a Curly Wurly then it felt like that much more of a treat; to a child they were HUGE! In fact the makers, Cadbury’s, refer to their bar as a ‘chewy caramel ladder, draped in delicious milk chocolate.’ The treat, which was initially created in York in 1932, has been lowered in weight from 175g to 157g, causing uproar among enthusiasts. Wig Wag was a version of Curly Wurly that was produced by Makintosh’s in Canada. This was available for a short time in the 1970s. Curly Wurly were first created by David John Parfitt. David was a research confectioner that had been working with Cadbury for quite some time. He actually made this particular treat almost by mistake when he was playing around with another idea he had. The beauty of the method I have devised here is that you can make your own version of a Curly Wurly as big as you like! It is based on a simple pulled-toffee technique since, sadly, I didn’t have access to a Twenty-Four Rope Extruder.

And every youngster’s badge collection would be sure to have included one of the garish Curly Wurly badges with phrases such as ‘Hands off my Curly Wurly’ or ‘I’m mad about Curly Wurly’ on them.The UK is a major market for Cadbury, and the Curly Wurly has been a classic British chocolate bar since it was launched in 1970. I have to say I don’t remember the 1997 ‘Cool Orange’ version of the sweet – the caramel inside was laced with the citrusy taste and I’m actually quite glad that I never got the chance to sample the fleeting banana flavoured atrocity that Australia dallied with in the late 1990s.

Finally, Loop was created in Sweden in 2011. It’s unclear if that candy is still around. This was created under a Swedish brand owned by Kraft at the time.
