A Tale of Two Textures
The Twirl is often described as the Flake’s more practical sibling. It uses the same folded, delicate chocolate ribbons, but contains them within a solid outer layer. You get the texture, but without the legendary mess. This new design concept inverts that relationship. It takes the famously friable Flake and imbues it with the flavour of a Twirl Caramel.
It’s an interesting idea. The image shows the classic purple and yellow Flake branding, but with a prominent orange block announcing the Twirl Caramel link. The proposition is simple: all the crumble of a Flake, but with the specific caramel note introduced to the Twirl range in 2022. It poses a structural question. Would the caramel be a flavouring in the chocolate itself, or a fine drizzle layered within the folds? The pack gives no clues.
The Modern Flake Family
For decades, the Flake was just one thing: a chocolate bar. Its delicate structure made it notoriously difficult to incorporate into other products, with the apocryphal story being that it couldn’t even be covered in chocolate to make a new bar. That all changed, but the brand’s expansion has been cautious and has focused on format over flavour.
The current range is small and mostly exists outside the confectionery aisle. There is the Cadbury Flake Ice Cream, which solved the structural problem by putting a small bar into a cornet. There is also the Cadbury Flake Chocolate Dessert, a chilled pot that uses flakes as a topping. Beyond that, the only other option is a multipack of the original. The core bar has remained untouched.
A Plausible Combination
Cadbury is no stranger to caramel. Dairy Milk Caramel is one of its most enduring products, and the recent success of the Twirl Caramel Edition shows a clear appetite for new applications. A caramel-flavoured Flake feels like a logical next step, even if it has never been attempted before.
This would be the first time the bar itself has received a flavour variant in the UK. We have had different sizes, like the half-size Flake used in ice creams, but never a different taste. Adding a popular flavour from another of its own hit products is a common strategy. It has worked for Dairy Milk and, more recently, for Twirl. Perhaps the Flake is next.
What the real range looks like
The current UK Flake range focuses on format, not flavour. It includes the standard Flake chocolate bar, Cadbury Flake Ice Cream, and the Cadbury Flake Chocolate Dessert pot. A caramel edition would be the first flavoured variant of the core chocolate bar itself.
