Bar "Picnic" - a delicious treat originally from childhood. Both girls and boys dreamed of trying crispy chocolate with caramel nougat, nuts and waffles. Now this is only a small share in the assortment of sweets of each grocery store. But this bar is still in high demand. So why?
Manufacturer
The manufacturer of the goodies is Cadbury (the company is part of Mondelez International). Manufacturer in the Russian Federation: Dirol Cadbury LLC (address - Veliky Novgorod).
From the very beginning, these products entered the UK markets in 1958, where they began to enjoy staggering demand. Describing the goods sold, the company came up with a solid slogan - "Rather, a banquet than a picnic." Later, already in our country the slogan "Picnic" was created - a chocolate bar. Give in to the temptation! "
By 2000, the consumer was tired of the unchanging chocolate bar, and the manufacturer realized this. Sales fell, but a different trend was created. King Size again won over its customer, and sales grew 77%.
A chocolate with a relatively low price (38 g for 37 rubles) still diverges from store shelves, although many buyers have long forgotten the advertising slogans of the sales campaign and take this sweetness exclusively for their tasty taste.
It should also be noted that different types of chocolates have different weights. It ranges from 38 to 80 g.
Structure
The famous bar "Picnic" consists of:
- nut filling - this is peanuts or walnuts;
- soft caramel;
- pasta from raisins (or whole dried fruits);
- waffles;
- popped rice.
That's the whole composition. The picnic bar is coated with milk chocolate glaze.
In our country there are no options for sale with raisins and walnuts, such sweets are only on the Australian and New Zealand markets.
There is another picnic bar. The manufacturer has provided options with apple and candied lemon.
Now on the Russian market there are chocolates stuffed with peanuts or walnuts. More recently, a new one has appeared - "Exotic" with pieces of fruit in a glaze of white chocolate.

- 50 g of walnuts or peanuts;
- 50 g of sugar;
- 100 g of milk chocolate;

- Roll the wafer from popped rice in a caramel-nut mass. Put on a layer of food foil and allow to cool well.
