A New Format for Cadbury
The most striking element of this concept is its delivery system. The “Button Dabber” is a squeezy plastic tube, a format more commonly associated with dessert sauces or home-baking products. While Cadbury maintains a significant presence in the baking aisle with its tubes of ready-to-use icing, this design positions the format as a primary confection, intended to be eaten on its own terms.
The name itself suggests an activity: dabbing out small portions of chocolate to create your own buttons. This is reinforced by the “Rapid-Set” claim printed clearly on the pack. It implies a chocolate product formulated to firm up quickly on contact with a cooler surface, much like a shell topping for ice cream. This detail moves the product from being a simple liquid treat into something more akin to a craft kit. You are not just eating it; the packaging suggests you are supposed to make something with it first. It is a significant departure from the simple foil-and-paper wrappers of their classic bar range.
Crunchie Reimagined
The flavour is pure Crunchie, but it has been broken down and reimagined. The Crunchie bar, first produced by J. S. Fry & Sons in 1929, has a famously simple construction: a solid block of golden honeycomb coated in Cadbury milk chocolate. This concept breaks that well-established structure apart. The pack promises two distinct components: “Smashed Crunchie Rocks” and a “Honeycomb Crunchie Blast”. This suggests solid, crunchy pieces of the honeycomb centre suspended in a honeycomb-flavoured liquid chocolate.
By deconstructing the bar, the product becomes inherently interactive. It shifts the snack from a passive consumption experience into an active one. It has more in common with a small toy or a craft kit than it does with a Twirl or a Wispa, suggesting a product that requires a surface, some time, and a bit of creativity. It’s confectionery as a small construction project, built around one of the UK’s most familiar chocolate bars. The packaging design reflects this heritage, using the distinctive red Crunchie logotype and golden honeycomb visuals against the classic Cadbury purple.
