Cadbury Bournvita Crunchy Spread Review – Same Great Taste

What’s a fool-proof way of getting the young ones to chug that glass of milk without fuss? Make it chocolatey.

 The iconic chocolate-flavored malted beverage powder Bournvita recently launched its crunchy spread. In our Cadbury Bournvita Crunchy Spread review, we share our experience with the product across parameters like flavor, consistency, and more.

Does it taste exactly like the malted beverage?

The following table lists all noteworthy details.

A rich chocolatey flavor, effortless spreadability, a pleasing texture, and overall convenience is what we were looking for when reviewing Cadbury Bournvita Crunchy spread. Did this spread bring back the nostalgic Bournvita taste?

1. Flavor

Did this spread have the characteristic Bournvita flavor? Was there a balance between the chocolate and malt flavor? Overly sweet? 

Did it have a synthetic aftertaste? Since we’ve always tasted Bournvita with milk, how did Cadbury Bournvita Crunchy Spread taste over bread slices?

2. Texture + Consistency

Easy to spread or a task? This spread claims to be crunchy. Are there bits or large chunks of the malt powder?

3. Other Parameters

All non-tasting and secondary parameters like price, packaging, shelf life, aroma, calories, and ingredients were gauged under this parameter.

What is interesterification of fat?

This is used as a hard fat alternative to trans fats in food products like spreads, bakery, and confectionary items. Interesterification modifies the structure and functionality of fats and oils.

How we tried it

We tried this straight out of the tube and over untoasted bread slices.

Appearance & Consistency

The spread had a deep chocolate brown hue. The consistency was extremely flowy and we could see lots of granules of Bournvita. 

To put it into perspective, the consistency was so flowy that we didn’t even have to squeeze the tube. Just holding it at an upright position caused the contents to flow out.

Taste & Texture

As mentioned above, owing to the consistency, this was exceptionally effortless to spread. It had tiny bits which enhanced the experience of each bite.

Taste-wise, this delivered on the Bournvita flavor promise. This was primarily sweet and the chocolate flavor was decadent. The crunchy bits lent an additional chocolate-malt flavor that we quite liked. All-in-all, we give it the green light on taste. 

We’d like to add, after scanning the ingredient list and nutrition labels, this is something you should consume occasionally and not make a part of your regular diet because this has quite high amounts of sugar, saturated fats, and cholesterol. The brand too recommends pairing the spread with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
