Title: What a great memory
Review: For those of us that grew up with the Marathon bar these little guys bring back the nostalgia. Delicious. Much smaller than their predecessor but oh the memories

Title: Never buying Hershey’s Cadbury again
Review: I live in the states – that unfortunate place where the citizens are subjected to Cadbury chocolate made by Hershey’s, thinking that they’re eating UK Cadbury. So laughable. The difference between Cadbury and Cadbury by Hershey’s is night and day. It’s the difference between water and salt water. It rather looks the same, but the taste tells you that something is dreadfully wrong. And there’s no way around it, supposedly. Unless one goes to a specialty store or brings it over the pond themselves, finding true Cadbury is next to impossible. The creme egg, the mini eggs, the dairy milk bar… Hershey’s. Yuck!And then there is this guy: The Curly Wurly barI first heard of Curly Wurly bars through the BBC (Vicar of Dibley). Extremely glad that I did! This is one of a handful of Cadbury chocolate that I can get that is made in the UK and shipped to the US. I will never buy my Cadbury from Hershey’s ever again. I don’t know what those maniacs did to the recipe, but one lick is enough to propel someone into a diabetic coma.The chocolate in this bar is sweet, but not too sweet. It’s smooth. Subtle. I dare say “sexy”. It forces you to savor it as it molests your senses with its delicate deliciousness. Do not get me started on the caramel lattice work. YUM! Buttery. Luscious. Sweet, but not over-powering.I bought these bars for my husband, who has only ever had Cadbury by Hershey’s. I honestly wish I had video taped that moment when I dropped a bit of it in his mouth. He, quite literally, had a choco-gasm. Ladies and gents, we have a convert!I love the fact that I got these bars for less than a dollar each and that they arrived 10 days ahead of schedule. The arrival time was between April 22 and May 5th (I believe). I ordered them I think the 24th of March. The bars arrived today, April 10th. Being that they are shipping from the UK, I find that extraordinary. I really didn’t expect them so soon. They came VERY well packaged, wrapped snuggly in British newspaper (which is extra awesome. And I swear even their newspaper is made of finer quality paper.) Someone took the time to gently wrap these bars so that they arrived in as good condition as possible. And the box size was a perfect fit. The seller really does put a lot of thought into the item being sent – something else one rarely gets in the US. Will definitely be purchasing again in the future! And from only this seller.

Title: Flashback candy
Review: these were so good just like the marathon bars from the 70s! Took a long time to get to the US from the UK but it was worth it. They were very fresh. If you liked the old marathon bars, you will love these.

Title: Best chocolate
Review: Not only is there caramel but there’s also Cadbury chocolate covering it. What a great combination. I grew up in England, and this chocolate is the best you can buy. My only complaint is that I remember them being longer.

Title: Taste was great, but it was all melted together
Review: I bought this product (Cadbury Curly Wurly chocolate bar) because I heard it was a lot like the old Marathon bars made years ago. They are much smaller than the Marathon was. I can’t tell how much the braid resembles the Marathon because when these candy bars arrived, they were very melty. You could barely see the holes in the braid. They did still taste fresh though, and the taste was very pleasant. The caramel is really buttery, much better than caramel that I am used to. I don’t think I will purchase them again only because of the time it takes to receive them, and also because of the condition they arrive in. But I am glad that I did order them and at least try them because I was very curious how closely they resembled the Marathon bar. From what I can tell since it’s been so many years since I have had a Marathon bar, I think I like the taste of the Curly Wurly better. I just wish they were bigger. Of course, by now… the Marathon bar would probably be as small as the Curly Wurly, since everything seems to be shrinking but prices stay the same or increase.

Title: It’s a Marathon Bar!
Review: Took over a month to get it but worth the wait. They weren’t melted and arrived in good shape although there were some 90+ degree days in there.

Title: Very small for the price
Review: I bought these cause as a child I always loved the Marathon bar. These are nothing like the original Marathon bar. They are only about quarter of the size and tastes not the same. Very disappointing as I bought these to share with family and friends for the Holidays. Not the childhood memory I wanted.
