An Unlikely Alliance
This concept design proposes a product that would require a truce between two of the biggest names in UK confectionery: a Cadbury Crunchie bar coated in Nestlé’s Milkybar white chocolate. The packaging mockup merges the distinct visual identities of both brands. It retains the familiar vibrant yellow and red logotype of Crunchie, but places the iconic Milkybar kid and logo front and centre on a block of white.
The core idea is simple: substitute Crunchie’s signature milk chocolate for Milkybar’s creamy white chocolate, while keeping the golden honeycomb toffee centre intact. Such collaborations between direct, top-tier competitors are practically unheard of. The shelves are full of brands extending their own ranges, or collaborating with complementary products like biscuits or spreads. A partnership between Cadbury and Nestlé on a core product line would be a genuine confectionery event.
The Modern Crunchie Range
Cadbury has not been shy about expanding the Crunchie brand beyond its original bar format, but its focus has been clear and consistent. The main area of development has been the freezer aisle. The brand is now a fixture there, represented by the Cadbury Crunchie Ice Cream Tub, Ice Cream Cones, the chunk-filled Blast Ice Cream, and handheld Mini Ice Cream Sticks.
Beyond frozen desserts, variations have been more conservative. Cadbury Crunchie Rocks offer the honeycomb and chocolate combination in a bitesize bag format. The most notable crossover to date has been the Cadbury Dairy Milk Crunchie Chocolate Bar, which embeds honeycomb pieces into the company’s flagship milk chocolate. Every official variant has remained strictly within the Cadbury and Mondelēz family of products, which makes the Nestlé crossover imagined here such a departure from established strategy.
What the real range looks like
The current Cadbury Crunchie range focuses heavily on frozen desserts, including the Crunchie Ice Cream Tub, Cones, Blast, and Mini Sticks. Other variations include Crunchie Rocks and the Cadbury Dairy Milk Crunchie bar. A Milkybar crossover would be the first time the brand has partnered with a direct competitor like Nestlé.
