What to know about Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Desserts Brownie Milk Chocolate Bar

A brownie-centre chocolate bar heavy on sugar and saturated fat

A 140 g milk chocolate bar with a filled centre. The chocolate shell is 55% of the bar (sugar, milk solids 13%, cocoa butter, cocoa solids) and the brownie-style centre is 45%, built from walnuts 7%, fractionated fat, sugar, refined wheat flour (maida), cocoa solids and milk solids. It is sold as a dessert-style chocolate for sharing or for a gift.

A 20 g serve, one of seven in the bar, gives 111 kcal, 1.6 g protein, 3.6 g saturated fat and 6.7 g added sugar. Per 100 g the bar has 557 kcal, 33.4 g added sugar and 17.8 g saturated fat. The whole 140 g bar comes to about 780 kcal, which is easy to reach in one sitting.

The name promises a brownie, and the centre does use flour, cocoa solids and a brownie flavouring, though it is a chocolate bar with a brownie-style filling and not a baked brownie. The pack itself says the centre is inspired by a brownie recipe. CleanPlate scores it EB5.

Why Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Desserts Brownie Milk Chocolate Bar scores EB5

Nutrition is an E because sugar and fat dominate and there is no fibre or vitamin credit. Ingredients are a B, held back by emulsifiers and flavourings. Risk is a 5 on 17.8 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Energy is 557 kcal per 100 g, with 50.9 g carbohydrate, 33.4 g of it added sugar, and 36.3 g fat. Protein is 8.1 g per 100 g, mostly from the milk solids, which is not enough to earn credit against that load.

No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is mostly recognisable: sugar, milk solids, cocoa butter, cocoa solids, walnuts and wheat flour. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat of 0.1 g per 100 g is accepted. Interesterified fat, fractionated fat and palmolein are part of the centre.

The points lost come from additives: the nature-identical and artificial flavourings, glycerol (422), ammonium phosphatides (442), PGPR (476) and lecithin (322) each cost ingredient points. The raising agents (500, 503) cost none. The pack makes no hollow promise.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Saturated fat

Trans fat

03 Load risk: why 5

Saturated fat is the biggest driver at 17.8 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line, and 3.6 g in one 20 g serve. Added sugar at 33.4 g per 100 g is the next largest part.

Energy at 557 kcal per 100 g adds to it. Sodium is 141 mg per 100 g and trans fat is 0.1 g, so both play a small part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High added sugar (33.4g per 100g)
  • Red flag: High saturated fat (17.8g)
  • Red flag: Refined flour (maida) base
  • Red flag: Palm oil listed

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

Does Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Desserts Brownie Milk Chocolate Bar live up to its claims?

The brownie flavour is partly real: flour and cocoa solids are in the centre, helped by a brownie flavouring. Nothing on the pack is misleading, and the cocoa sourcing claim says nothing about nutrition.

  • Product name

    “Brownie flavour”

    Partly true

    The centre has refined wheat flour, cocoa solids and walnuts at 7%, plus a nature-identical brownie flavouring. It is a brownie-style filling in a chocolate bar, not a baked brownie.

  • Retail listing

    “Centre inspired from brownie recipe”

    Be careful

    The pack frames the centre as inspired by a brownie recipe, which is accurate wording. The centre is 45% of the bar, and the rest is milk chocolate.

  • On the pack

    “Supports sustainable cocoa”

    Be careful

    This is a sourcing statement through the Cocoa Life programme. It says nothing about the 33.4 g added sugar or 17.8 g saturated fat per 100 g.

  • Retail listing

    “Suitable for vegetarians”

    Holds

    The list has milk solids but no meat or fish ingredient, and the pack carries a vegetarian mark.

What's in Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Desserts Brownie Milk Chocolate Bar?

Sugar leads the chocolate and the centre, with milk solids, cocoa butter and walnuts at 7% alongside. Watch the saturated fat and the added sugar.

The ingredient list, read for you

The milk chocolate shell comes first at 55%: sugar, milk solids at 13%, cocoa butter and cocoa solids, with emulsifiers 442 and 476 and vanilla-type flavourings. The centre is 45%: walnuts at 7%, fractionated fat, sugar and refined wheat flour (maida), then cocoa solids, milk solids and interesterified fat.

Humectant 422, water, palmolein, emulsifiers, invert sugar and a brownie flavouring give the centre its soft texture. Raising agents 500(ii) and 503(ii), iodised salt and antioxidant 307c finish the list.

Ingredients to watch

  • Saturated fatConcern

    17.8 g per 100 g, from cocoa butter, milk fat and the centre's fats. One 20 g serve has 3.6 g.

  • Added sugarConcern

    33.4 g per 100 g, about 6.7 g per serve and 47 g in the whole bar. Sugar is the first ingredient in both the chocolate and the centre.

  • Emulsifiers, humectant and flavouringsWorth watching

    Ammonium phosphatides (442), PGPR (476), lecithin (322), glycerol (422) and the nature-identical and artificial flavourings cost ingredient points.

  • Centre fatsWorth watching

    Fractionated fat, interesterified fat and palmolein are processed fats. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and trans fat is 0.1 g per 100 g.

  • WalnutsFine

    7% of the bar is real walnuts, and they are named in the list.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • No cocoa percentage is given, only cocoa solids and cocoa butter in the list.
