  • I have given myself ten hours to travel from Dublin Airport into the city centre, find 3 (4) items and return in time for my return flight. This food challenge was NOT as easy as I thought it would be.

    Cadbury has a factory in Coolock, Dublin and makes 8 square Dairy milk, crème egg, Moro, boost, wisps, flake, crunchie & starbar. Cadbury Ireland uses local ingredients and exports.

    Dublin is a fair city and the locals are very cheery and friendly. We got lost after a sightseeing bus dropped us off across the river, but a lovely Irish girl showed us the way to our coach which was parked close to the Molly Malone statue which is perfect. Marvellous Irish holiday. 😍

    FUN FACT: Cadbury's Ireland has a strong heritage here. It feels as native to us as it does to Britain. In fact the Twirl was developed by the Cadbury Ireland team before being introduced to the UK two year later.

      Yeah there one of the big Supermarkets in Ireland North and South. They bought Wellworths in Northern Ireland back in the 90s. Plus their Centra convenience store chain has one in nearly every town and the DayToday brand in Ireland as well and probably a few other brands. All owned by the wholesalers Musgrave. So a lot of products in the stores throughout Ireland is supplied by Musgrave.
      Their own brand is just because they are a big Supermarket like Tesco/Sainsbury's. They usually have the same products in Centra branded Centra. Although it is unique where it has franchised out its Super-Valu name like it's convenience stores. So not uncommon to see a family name attached before Super-Valu. Kind of like how Spar has the bigger EuroSpar brand for that as well.

      Makes it a bit easier if you have an idea of what to look for. Loads of differant Irish Choclates "Butlers Choclates is but one" There are endless cheeses! No point in going to Temple Bar for anything except expensive pints. You can pat up to 9euro for a pint in that area. Madigan's O'Connell Street for a Guiness pie.

    Loving the videos Scott! If you return to Ireland again, I urge you to go to Killarney in County Kerry. Known as a "Town in the Park" with one of Ireland's greatest national parks next door to the town. It is also full of pubs playing music at night. I remember having guiness-infused steak with champ (potatoes) at a bar/restaurant there and it was to die for. Also there is a microbrewery there in the town if that's your thing. One of my highlights is an ice cream store called "Murphy's" on the main street. It has some great flavours such as whiskey, butterscotch and peppercorn. What I find hilarious is they have "bread" flavoured ice cream. It's a small town and ideal if you love nature and walks. You can also hire a horse and carriage outside the main station to take you around the town. You can fly to Kerry airport from Dublin and one of only two domestic routes in Ireland (other being Dublin to Donegal). The airport is between two of the counties largest towns (Killarney and Tralee). Happy travels and keep up the great videos!

      Until the end of 2021 Dairy Milk hadn't been made in the UK since 2011. After Kraft's lies all of the UK product was made in Poland and Ireland. Molendez is now moving a lot of European production of most products back to the UK. Because of the popularity of the Cadbury brand in Ireland this move will not have a great effect on Irish production.

    Only Cadbury uses fresh Irish milk and makes the chocolate crumb in Ireland. If you wanted the most truly Irish chocolate, you should have stuck to the standard block of Dairy Milk or any of the small and medium size Cadbury block bars (All are in a bar format in the UK now I think), or as someone said, the twirl or flake…
