In the 1960s, Fry's Chocolate Cream was advertised on British television by the model George Lazenby who became famous as 'The Big Fry' man—the commercials rivalled Cadbury Milk Tray advertised by the 'Milk Tray Man'—a role which saw Lazenby catch the attention of the James Bond producers. [6] History [ edit ] TL;DR - It's a Fry's chocolate cream in RASPBERRY, (plus they've always been vegan), what's not to love?! The Fry's chocolate bar was first produced in Union Street, Bristol, England in 1866, where the family name had been associated with chocolate making since c. 1761. In 1923, Fry's (now Cadbury) chocolate factory moved to Somerdale Garden City, Keynsham, England. a b Mintz, Sidney (2015). The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets. Oxford University Press. p.88 and 157. I am not generally a fan of dark chocolate but this is one of those exceptions. The creamy mint filling correlates so very well with the dark chocolate and is really nice with a cup of steaming hot coffee.

The original Fry's Chocolate Cream chocolate bar consisted of a plain fondant centre enrobed in plain chocolate. Variants include Peppermint Cream, Orange Cream, Raspberry Cream and Strawberry Cream. The Fry’s Chocolate Cream was the first chocolate confectionery ever to be made on a factory scale, so as such is the granddaddy of all chocolate bars. The tagline is “dark chocolate with fondant centre”, which to be honest, I’ve always considered to be fairly poor and unenticing description. Not that I could tell you a better one. a b c d e Bolton, Lucy (2018). Lasting Screen Stars: Images that Fade and Personas that Endure. Springer. p.219.

I added one as a cheeky 'bits and bobs' gift for my partner as it was on offer, and I know he's loved Fry's 5 Centres in the past, plus with raspberry being one of his favourite flavours, I thought I'd surprise him (thinking it was a more recent flavour). This is also someone who's never even been a fan of very sweet, fondant-like sweets and chocolate, even as a kid.

In World War II, British Bomber crews in the RAF Bomber Command were regularly issued with Fry's Chocolate Creams before missions.
