Double Decker (chocolate bar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Double Decker in its characteristic wrapping.

Double Decker is a chocolate bar from Cadbury's. It was first introduced in 1976, and has a name inspired by the British obsession with double-decker buses in the 1970s.

The chocolate bar, which is lightly flavoured with coffee, is structured in two layers; an upper whipped nougat layer, with a lower layer of cereal ‘crispies’, these are then coated in milk chocolate.

The bar masses approximately 60g, and typically contains 11.4g of fat, 40.2g of carbohydrates, 2.7g of protein and 1150kJ (275kcal) of energy.

There also exists a 'Double Decker - Nuts', which has the advertising slogan "crispy, crunchy, chewy and nutty". This chocolate bar is essentially a Double Decker with nuts contained within the nougat layer.

Double Decker bars originally had raisins embedded within the base layer but they were removed in 1986 in response to market research.

The Double Decker contains hydrogenated oil.
