[edit] Australia

The Australian Snack is a bar with six chunks, each filled with a different flavour: strawberry, pineapple, orange, coconut ice, Turkish Delight and caramel. The selection of flavours has remained the same since being developed in 1974 by the Cadbury product development team. Prior to this time, blocks of chocolate known as "Snack" was marketed in Australia by MacRobertson's which had exactly the same flavours but different pattern moulds on the "chunks".

It is available in 250 g, 150 g and 55 g blocks, and is also available in New Zealand and parts of Asia.

Although Snack is now branded as part of Cadbury's Dairy Milk range, the chocolate is sweeter than that used in the standard Dairy Milk bar.

[edit] United Kingdom

The version of Snack now marketed in Australia was formerly available in the United Kingdom. Believed to be the Milk Tray Chocolate Bar, it has now been discontinued in the UK, but three completely different Cadbury products use the same name. The Snack products currently sold in Britain, which are not branded Dairy Milk, come in three different versions. The first is branded Snack Shortcake - six chocolate-coated shortcake biscuits. The second is called Snack Wafer - three chocolate-coated wafer fingers. And the third version is named Snack Sandwich - an individual chocolate and biscuit bar. Each Snack product has distinctive coloured packaging - Wafer is pink, Shortcake is yellow and Sandwich is purple.^[1]
