Launch of Cadbury Marvellous Creations
For the past two centuries Cadbury has been satisfying the palates of people with their delicious chocolate treats. The company was set up by John Cadbury, who laid the foundations of the company in the form of a small grocery store in 1824, which then expanded to become what today is one of the most well-known and prestigious brands in the world – Cadbury. They always come up with many interesting chocolate variations.
Cadbury wanted to introduce something whimsical to their line of chocolate bars, and thus, they came up with Marvellous Creations.
Cadbury Marvellous Creations was launched by Cadbury in 2012 as a unique addition to their chocolate range. The concept behind Marvellous Creations was to create a chocolate bar that offered an exceptional and exciting taste experience that was unlike any other in the market.
Ingredients of Cadbury Marvellous Creations
The main ingredients of this chocolate bar are –
Milk Solids – Enhances the creaminess and richness of the chocolate, contributing to its smooth texture.
Cocoa Butter – Adds richness and smoothness to the chocolate while also providing a creamy mouthfeel.
Cocoa Mass – Gives the chocolate its distinct cocoa flavour and adds to its depth of taste.
Sugar – Provides sweetness to the chocolate and balances its flavours.
Vegetable Fat – Helps to improve the texture and mouthfeel of the chocolate, ensuring a smooth and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Emulsifiers—They help blend the ingredients together smoothly and prevent separation of the cocoa solids and cocoa butter.
Glazing Agents – Provides a glossy finish to the chocolate and helps to maintain its appearance and texture.
Jelly Pieces – These are small, chewy pieces of fruit flavoured jelly that add bursts of fruity sweetness and chewy texture to the chocolate.
Candies—Colourful candy pieces, sometimes in different shapes or sizes, are often included to add additional sweetness and crunch to the chocolate bar.
Popping Candy – Tiny candy crystals that pop or fizz when they come into contact with your tongue, are an interesting surprise and fun sensation in the mouth.
