Childhood memories of making old-fashioned caramel slice at home with his mum, inspired Curtis Stone in his flavour collaboration with Cadbury.

The new special-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Curtis Stone’s Caramel Slice block celebrates Cadbury’s milestone of 100 years of manufacturing in Australia.

Made from Cadbury Dairy Milk, each bite is layered with caramel, vanilla flavoured crème and biscuit pieces, creating the nostalgic taste of a homemade caramel slice.

Cadbury vice president of marketing Paul Chatfield said there was no better way to celebrate the milestone than with a partnership with Curtis Stone.

“We’re delighted to continue our incredible relationship with Coles and exclusively offer the special-edition block to the Australian retailer for their customers to experience. Aussies love Cadbury, Curtis and Caramel Slice so it’s sure to be a recipe for success,” Chatfield said.

Speaking of how the Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Slice flavour combination came to life, Stone says, “I chose this recipe because it brings back really fond memories for me being a little boy, cooking with my mum, and now making magical memories cooking this with my own kids at home.”

The Caramel Slice block was locally produced in the Cadbury chocolate factory in Tasmania, with Stone present for the creation of the first batch. 

Intended as a limited run, the new Cadbury Dairy Milk Curtis Stone’s Caramel Slice is now available exclusively in Coles supermarkets nationally, RRP $5.00.
