Available any day now - a new larger Toblerone clone - Toblerclone in fact.
Made by Walkers of Birmingham with a 'British chocolate' taste, this new bar, named after the TV series, is aimed at Mondelez for reducing the size of its Toblerone bars.
Poundland trading director Barry Williams said of Twin Peaks: “Poundland shoppers are savvy and the change in their favourite chocolate bar last Christmas didn’t go unnoticed.
“That’s why we’ve created a new £1 alternative for them - the size they wanted, with a British taste, and with all the spaces in the right places.”

Well if it tastes just as good as the original Toblerone did before they ruined it then I say well done poundland for listening to what people want. Now, if you can just do the same thing and release a Creamy Egg with its original size and taste then I will be able to smile again. Bring back large tins of Quality Roads as well lol

Is there such a thing as British chocolate after Cadbury"s sell off.
Plus what a load of corporation publicity BS. Why do they always sound like they have eaten a poetry book.

It called marketing, I'm afraid.

Cadbury's was a British institution with a great history. Sad.
Weetabix in Chinese owned now. That's globalisation. We live in UK PLC, not Great Britain. :disappointed:

Toblerone was made by Tobler until 1970. It was never the same after that.

Toblerwars.......size is not the defining factor... it's taste that matters most
True british chocolate taste does NOT contain palm oil/fat.....or any other fatty filler :wink:

You could not be more wrong! Other countries traditionally did not have any vegetable fat in their chocolate, it all had to be milk fat or cocoa butter but British chocolate did and still does! It was causing a rift with the Eu back in the early days and up to the 2000's, and took some negotiation for it to be accepted and still able to be called "chocolate"
so we're voting RRP , untasted products Hot now .....OK

who buys toblerone outside of duty free anyway?

Well Poundland sold 40000 bars in the first month of doing a deal with Toblerone.
Most of the other main brand suppliers laughed at the time until thteu saw the figures.

Duty free prices are higher than supermarket prices - so much for the "discount" of duty free :disappointed:
As for this deal - it will probably be something to try once, then remember why you don't buy imitation products and expect the genuine taste.

Have you seen the price of it there! About half the price in most supermarkets, and even better when on offer.
I remember when duty free used to be so much cheaper than the high street.
Sad times.

I think Aldi used to do a decent clone but that vanished, will give this a go.

M&S do a similar one. Which I must admit is rather nice & even, a tad Moreish !!

Problem is, for the relatively small weight difference, it has to be just as good as Toblerone. It may be, but in general, own brand things aren't quite as good as the leading brands.

Try the 200g Dairyfine wholenut(light/dark brown wrapper) bar from Aldi for 85p, better than Cadbury's.
