Cadbury Fingers are the grown up version of Chocolate Pocky Sticks. This product combines the rich velvety chocolate of Cadbury with a crisp thin buttery cookie. The combination is addictive. The thin cookies come stacked together inside a plastic cookie tin. These cookies are a decadently delicious option for chocolate lovers.
Cadbury Fingers are relatively inexpensive. Compared to the price of other quality cookies, such as the Pepperidge Farm Brand. They are currently advertised at Amazon Marketplace for $3.39, which seems a tad bit higher than what I have paid recently at Wal-Mart. Pepperidge Farm cookies run right around the three dollar mark at the grocery store, as well.
The flavor of Cadbury Fingers is overwhelmingly chocolate. The Cadbury Company, which is based in England, was founded by John Cadbury in 1824. The Finger Cookies were introduced in 1897! The company has been producing a quality line of chocolate ever since. Let me make a quick caveat about Cadbury. Anyone who has eaten Cadbury Chocolate that is made in England may notice a difference between the Cadbury products they eat in the United States. I dont know if the exact same process is used, but Cadbury in the United States is made by the Nestle Company. It may be my imagination, but the Cadbury Chocolate in England tastes better. Other products produced by Cadbury include my favorite, the Crunchie Bar (which is a honeycomb covered in rich chocolate), Cadbury Mini Eggs, Cadbury Eggs, Caramilk and many more.
The Nutritional Value of Cadbury Fingers is based on six cookies. This serving size contains 180 calories, of which 80 come from fat. That is 9 grams of fat or fourteen percent of the recommended daily value. These addictive cookies also pack in 5 milligrams of cholesterol and 55 milligrams of sodium, which are both only two percent of the recommended daily value. This serving size has 21 grams of carbohydrates, thirteen of those grams are sugars, and one gram is dietary fiber. The percent of calories from fat breaks down to 45 percent, which is a bit high. But worth it!
Cadbury Fingers contain the following Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Cocoa butter, Chocolate, Non-Fat Milk, Sugar Cane Syrup, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Leavening and Artificial Flavors. As I mention in my review of Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Squares. Chocolate contains lecithin, which aids your circulatory system and is a key component of cell membranes. Therefore, the unhealthy aspects of rich chocolate are somewhat offset by the health benefits! At least I convince myself of that fact as I sit down to a box of these flavorful cookies.
My Overall Impression with the Cadbury Company has always been that they produce a quality product. I enjoy Cadbury chocolates, in many different forms. When they decided over a hundred years ago to cover little cookies in their rich chocolate, it was a match made in heaven. Cadbury Fingers are a delicious addictive cookie treat that wont break the bank. I give Cadbury Fingers five stars out of a possible five.
