Is this chocolate bar really vegan? I have never seen in around so may only available online like Amazon.

These have been around for donkeys years.. since the 70s at least. I would imagine they;re much MUCH older than that.

Nothing to do with cadbury anymore.. they’re now produced in Blackpool by tangerine confectionary. who bought the brand from Cadbury in 2008.

Another small brand thats been pushed from pillar to post over the decades.. but so nice to find them still being made. Iceland retail them at 5 for £1.

Rosita, this is a Raspberry Ruffle, not a Raspberry Truffle! I don’t think it’s meant to be truffle-like at all.

As for buying them in Canada, your best bet is probably to find somewhere online that sells it and delivers to Canada.

I just tried a Raspberry Truffle chocolate piece. It wasn’t a “truffle” at all but more like coconut shavings that taste like raspberry. I still liked it, considering I love coconut and the raspberry flavour was a bonus. I live in Canada and someone got them for me from England, so I’m not sure where I can get them again.

Update: I just checked myself, and the bags of Ruffle chocs (still available in supermarkets, even if the bars seem to be disappearing!) do indeed state ‘plain chocolate contains minimum 40% cocoa solids’.

These were more popular than you might think. I remember the individual chocs in the dark red cellophane (useful for school projects after – honest, Dad!)in the 80′s and also the bars later (which I still enjoy now). There was even a lemon&lime variety of the bar (a sort of dayglo colour) from (I think) the mid 90′s to about the mid ’00′s.

About 5yrs ago, after Christmas, I found a huge ‘selection box’ in Leicester Market with raspberry, Lemon&Lime and orange ruffle chocolates. I do remember orange being further off the suitability scale than lemon&lime, though not as terrible as some may say (or imagine)!

Anyway, I think the original ruffle is a great and unique taste combination, and I hope they continue.
Nice to see them here, good work, Dom, though I must disagree with the ‘imitation dark chocolate’ – I believe the individual Ruffle choc’s similarly sparse ingredient list does state over 40% cocoa solids, and it tastes well beyond ‘Bournville’ to me….

OOhhh, you have ruffled my chocolatey feathers! I totally ADORE these funny little bars of Raspberry delight. When I was on a non-dairy, wheat or anything fun diet, the only thing that kept me going was dark chocolate, usually Fry’s creme, green and black and yes, you’ve guessed it, Raspberry Ruffle Bars. The diet’s long gone, but my pleasure in these eccentric little bars remains – bliss!

sorry I have to disagree with your review-Ruffle Bars are yum! I used to get them as a treat as a kid. but the good thing now is that on tasting them now I am not disappointed. They still taste raspberry coconutty, and with a touch of dark chocolate to cut the sweetness. The other great thing is that there is no dairy so great for allergy sufferers. Try them and see.
