Thanks for this article. I am allergic to soy and have coeliac disease, and as odd as it may seem this bar is actually both gluten free and soy friendly. Unlike most chocolates, cadbury UK chocolates seem to be made without any additional soya lecithin(a product in virtually all chocolate bars around)! Unlike Cadbury Australia :(

I’m in Australia and found it at a Coles in late March here in one of the suburbs of Canberra! It was the only bar I can even have on my diet! Then they removed it.

The good news is the IGA down the road from me is currently stocked with Cadbury ‘Twisted’ Creme Egg bars imported from the UK, similar to the Limited Edition Wispa Gold that I saw months ago!

I have reviewed these in more detail on my blog (copy and paste link below):

PS: Dom, if I could offer you a suggestion, you might want to consider linking to Cadbury UK somewhere in your blog. If their IT technical staff are ‘up to it’ they’ll receive an alert and someone from their production team will probably most definitely read this post.

I completely disagree!! I could eat wisper golds all day every day they are the best chocolates ever!! I wish that they would be brought back to Australia I keep checking in coles every week to see if they are back!! PLEASE bring back wispa golds my family, my work mates, all my mates and myself are looking forward to them being back on the shelves!! ;-)

I think Wispa Golds are gorgeous and outshine the normal wispa :) I like the fact they are exactly the same as they always have been, not smaller, thinner, etc, as for the caramel tasting of nothing, I couldn’t agree less lol its delicious! Lovely wispa + yummy cadburys caramel = winner! :)

Hi,
I am so glad they have bought it back. I remember buying one every week with my shopping and I have a photo of my daughter (now 13) playing with the bar while sitting in her highchair. It was an orange wrapper and it had the caramel in it then. (This is how I know how long ago it was a photo memory of the bar lol)

I was devastated when they took it off the market and I actually wrote to cadbury to find out why. Well obviously that didnt work.

Well after 15 years its about time its back and hopefully here to stay. Talk about excitement when I saw it (36yr old) and was jumping up and down like a kid.(yeah I know a bit pathetic!

The crave was my favorite candy bar when I went to Australia years ago. It never came out in the states and i have been trying to figure out where I could get some more. Now I can stop my search after discovering that they have been discontinued…my life will never bee the same

Wispa Gold’s just come to Australia under the radar, it’s in Coles. I just had my first bar! I love it! I don’t think Cadbury’s meant for it to come out here! Would love to try the Mint now…never heard of that one… Yum!

We did have such a thing in Australia once, pretty much identical actually. The Cadbury Crave. It was discontinued a few years ago and now no one seems to remember it, but it was a favourite of mine.

Reading this means I never have to buy one out of nostalgic curiosity. How well I recall the lack of interesting flavours and dull, dull milk chocolate. I think if I was given one of these I’d be hard pressed to finish the blighter.

Can you imagine Cadbury’s EVER going near sea salted caramel and good quality dark chocolate in one bar? (Okay, I know the ‘posh’ dark Cadbury chocolate I reviewed at the beginning of the year was good, but we can’t get that here, never mind anything vaguely different or adventurous.)
