Dipped Flake

[brawburd]

Metnioned today to some people that dipped flakes are making a comeback. But nobody could remember them first time around. I recall a Cadbury's Dipped Flake - like a Ripple because it was dipped in a chocolate overcoat but NOT a Ripple. Am I hallucinating?!

Maybe you are looking at the moon to much. It's strange like that.Do you turn into a weird hairy creature with big teeth when it is a full moon?

[Roxy]

I don't think you're hallucinating i seem to remember the dipped flakes and yes, they were similar to ripples, but nicer, there is also a "twirl" that has similar criteria to bothe riples and dipped flakes

[brawburd]

thanks you Roxy - you must be as old as me!! Archbishop - no need for the moon, that's me as I am normally! What I'd like to find now is a pic of the old version of dipped flake. Roxy, can you recall the packaging?

I hadn't even realised they'd gone! But they are back, and for some odd reason being marketed towards women, as Yorkies were to men. I seem to remember a sealed blue plastic wrapper with gold writing from a distant recall.

I mailed Cadbury's and they confirmed that dipped flakes were made from 1970. Still can't "picture" the wrapper, thanks David for giving me something to go on.

When Cadbury's made the "Snowflake," it was a white chocolate "Flake" centre but was dipped in milk chocolate. I think that was last year sometime (having given up chocolate as my new years resolution, I'm a bit out of touch with the cocoa world...), and was in a blue & gold wrapper if memory serves...

Yes, I have seen these dipped flakes in my local co-op, they're in a foily yellow and purple wrapper!
