cadbury's chocolate

[discovery]

i was wondering if anyone remembered cadburys mis-shapes? i know woolworths used to sell them and that they were odd shaped chocolates that they couldnt use in a box of roses or milk tray.hence the name mis-shapes!

[mongos bird]

I remember them!  My favourites were the cream centres but somehow I always used to get a bag of toffees!!  Shame they don't have them now, s'pose they must have improved their production methods or they give them away to staff.   mmm..... cherry creams...

If you're lucky, you can still get chocolate misshapes at confectionary stalls on markets. And I've seen Thorntons misshapes on sale in their shops after Christmas.

But what I remember Woolies for is broken biscuits: on a good day you could get a willing shop assistant to "break" a couple of your favourite biscuits from the big open tins to add to your bag.

Hygienic? Not particulary.
Did it do us any harm? Don't think so!

No harm at all Xollob, we are still here aren't we.  Do you remember the big metal tins that the biscuits used to come in. Still got one in my garage full of nuts,bolts,screws,nails,washers all of which are of absolutely no use at all but they may come in handy one day.

I digress.

My local Thornton's do their mis-shapes all year round and I believe the Cadbury ones can only be bought at Cadbury World.

FastBarry, what these European bureaucrats tend to forget when they start banning things like this is that when you're tucking into a bag of broken biscuits you're unlikely to be sniffing glue or having unprotected sex with total strangers.

Back to misshapes: my problem here is that you don't really save any money - you just eat more chocolate.

There's a shop local to me where they sell broken biscuits and chocs still, it's �1 for a kg box of mixed broken biscuits, or �1.50 for a kg box of chocolate covered broken biscuits.

We used to get bags of broken biscuits at Chapel Street Market in Islington. There was a stall that sold them and the misshaped chocolates.

there is a cadburys shop at a  designer outlet village near us, which still sells these mis-shapes.  They tend to sell any surplus stock at these outlets so what you will find depends on what they've been producing I guess.  Got my dad a big bag of "fingers of fudge" for Christmas - his favourite - for next to nothing

I'll bet Brussels has said we're not to eat mis-shapes for some stupid reason or another.

Any Cadburys *factory* shop should sell them, if that fails, go to cadbury world in Birmingham, they sell them there, went on monday with school and brought loads of mishape's lol

I'm not sure of the area where you live but there are such things as Cadbury shops now. There is one at a retail outlet centre in Chatham. They do a whole range of chocolate goodies including big, huge bags of "Mis-shapes". I can't remember how much they were but in the region of about �3.50 per bag. Hope this helps you.
