Cadbury Cabana

[www.doyouremember.co.uk]

A chocolate bar made by Cadbury - early 80's. (Double decker size and shape.) I seem to remember it had a vaguely tropical theme so it had in it coconut, glace cherries, possibly bits of biscuit and raisins all enclosed in soft caramel and covered in chocolate. Sounds nice but was absolutely sickly sweet. A little like a tiffin bar.

It got dropped because of it's complicated production and production costs.It contained 17 ingrediants.I used to like them but i can't see them returning.

Re: Cadbury Cabana

Cabana was my favourite chocolate bar. It had coconut (like in Bounty) with pieces of cherry in, topped with a layer of soft caramel, and covered in milk chocolate. I don't remember who made it (was it definitely Cadbury's?) but I wish they would bring it back.

Re: Cadbury Cabana

I can't really remember the real ones properly but I like to get the mini copy Bounty and Mars bars from Lidl plus a tub of glace cherries and throw together my own. Take choc off the top of the Bounty, cut the caramel off the Mars then slap the caramel on the scalped Bounty with some sliced cherries in between. It's as close as you can get to a Cabana.

Re: Cadbury Cabana

I think I might try making my own from scratch, using dessicated coconut, icing sugar & glace cherries, topped with caramel (made from boiling condensed milk) and coated in chocolate. Yum! I think I saw something similar (in 'giant' form) on a website that specialises in extra-large versions of favourite chocolate bars and the like.

Re: Cadbury Cabana

Cabana sounds lovely. I love bounty so I am sure I would love this if it ever makes a comeback. Think there is a petition on FB to bring it back. Will give my support (LIKE) to this!

ps what is a Tiffin bar?

Re: Cadbury Cabana

Wonder if Cherry Ripe (import from OZ) is similar to Cabana (at least with the choc, cheries, coconut flavours). I think I shall have to buy/test it to find out. Decisions decisions, should I choose dark Cherry Ripe, Double Dipped Cherry Ripe, Share Pack Cherry Ripe?

Black Forest chocolate needs testing too!

Cherry Ripe is closer to a Ruffle Bar or Raspberry Ruffle sweets in flavour. Much richer than a cabana.

Rowntrees made them.Check google and it clearly says it on the packet.
