CADBURY CARAMILK GOLDEN CARAMEL CHOCOLATE BAR

PRIMARY USES

1. Energy-Dense Snacking for Patients Requiring Caloric Supplementation
Primary Use: Provides a premium golden caramel chocolate bar featuring Cadbury’s signature caramelised white chocolate—a unique blend of white chocolate and caramelised milk powder that delivers a smooth, toasty caramel flavour. Each 25g serving provides approximately 136-151 kcal, 8-9g fat, and 17-19g sugar.
How it helps: For the dietitian and clinician, patients with poor appetite, cancer cachexia, or recovering from illness often struggle to maintain adequate caloric intake. With 544 kcal per 100g and 30g fat, this bar provides concentrated calories in a palatable, familiar format. The 80g, 90g, and 180g block sizes offer flexibility for portion control and sharing. For the patient, this offers a comforting, energy-dense treat that can help boost caloric intake while providing sensory pleasure.
2. Sensory Pleasure and Mood Enhancement for Patients with Reduced Appetite
Primary Use: The unique golden caramel flavour—creamy, sweet, and toasted—combined with the smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture creates a distinctive sensory experience that can stimulate appetite and offer comfort to patients with reduced oral intake.
How it helps: For the oncology dietitian and palliative care nurse, patients undergoing chemotherapy or with advanced disease often experience reduced appetite, taste alterations, and low mood. The smooth, comforting texture and unique caramelised flavour can appeal to altered taste perceptions. For the patient, this offers a moment of indulgence that can lift spirits and provide comfort during challenging health journeys. Made with sustainably sourced cocoa through the Cocoa Life program .

SECONDARY USES

1. Non-medical comfort for needle phobia or distressing procedures: Offering a small piece of Cadbury Caramilk as a reward or distraction during venepuncture, cannulation, or vaccinations can reduce anxiety, with the familiar, comforting chocolate flavour providing a pleasant sensory focus.
2. Portion-controlled treat for patients with dietary restrictions: The 25g serving size (approximately one row) allows for easy portion control, making it suitable for patients who need to monitor their intake of sugar or carbohydrates. Carers can offer one piece at a time as a controlled treat.
3. Gift for patients, families, and healthcare staff: The premium golden packaging and unique flavour profile make Caramilk suitable for gifting to patients, thanking healthcare staff, or sharing with family members during hospital visits.
