The Mill Street Journal

For years I devoured those delicious little choccy yoggys after my din dins as a child and recently I’ve been reminiscing about their glory. I felt it only right to pay tribute to them in the year Cadbury celebrate their 200th Anniversary. Mum used to use them as an inflation index and if you opened one and the lid was clean, you knew you were in for a treat, so here goes;

6. Chunks

A staple. The one that would never fail you on a Tuesday night before BB. Piles of the chunks would pour out with the odd one or two still stuck in the wee pot, a quick dig with the teaspoon would sort that out.

5. Winter Edition

When these dropped I was expecting my socks to be blown off and whilst I did enjoy, I wasn’t blown away. Don’t get me wrong I love my white chocolate but the problem is when it’s paired with any other form of chocolate it gets overpowered and doesn’t perform to its potential. None the less, a worthy entrant. Probably my favourite pot design too!

4. Crunchie

What’s not to like about honeycomb, eh? It gets stuck in your teeth, that’s what. Apart from that the Cruncie was always a fantastic effort. If I were to compare it to a day of the week, there is no doubt in my mind that it’s a Thursday. Not quite the weekend but the hard work has been done and you’re giving yourself a little boost to see you to the weekend.

3. Shortcake Biscuit

I would say this one is probably the most underrated of the entire chocolate yogurt collection. Quite a mature effort from Cadbury this one, it definitely seemed more adult. The biscuit was tasty and worked well with the yogurt. It was probably Cadbury’s answer to those Müller Corner things. Pot design second to the Winter Edition, also.

2. Freddo Faces

The kids would probably call this effort a ‘mentality monster’ or something to that effect. This Freddo fraternity took no prisoners, they ate Chunks for breakfast and good luck to you if they bolstered up their numbers by adding an extra one in, which they were partial too. Why not first you ask? Disloyalty. If the Freddos took a disliking to an individual in the group, they would murder and dump them into the chocco swamp. Left to rot and go really soggy. Which left me to fish out the carcass and taste the horrible crime.

1. Mini Eggs

The holy grail of chocolate yogurts, you had to be quick off the mark with these ones and they were only out for part of the year. I think they’re still a thing so keep your eyes peeled. There are two things which are absolute magic about the Mini eggs edition of the chocolate yogurt. Firstly, similar to Freddo Faces, if you were lucky enough you would get an extra egg, which is vital in this sort of aerated packaging economy. Secondly, and this was the key to victory, some of the shells of the mini eggs break off in the packaging so when you open it and pour it into the chocolate swamp its like a little sprinkle of snow. Perfection!

Honourable Mentions

Creme Egg Pot of Joy

Whilst not strictly a chocolate yogurt and therefore banned from this Super 6 list, this was also a tasty wee number and I thought I’d honour it here, I’m not sure if they’re still cutting about or not. Some cried saying they were too sweet but I loved them.

Wispa

Wispa nearly landed a Europa League spot but I gave it to Chunks in the end based purely off the fact that when Wispa was reintorduced in 2007 I thought it was a brand new, incredible creation! Only for my ‘bubble’ to be burst by my parents when they explained that it used to be a thing and Cadbury had just brought it back.
