A new Vegemite chocolate idea for Cadbury! Vegemite Caramello Koala

Posted by Gary

Hello Cadbury Australia. I love your Vegemite chocolate. Given that product combines caramel with Vegemite how about a Vegemite Caramello Koala. This is a fair dinkum Aussie match made in heaven. It could be a girl koala to pair with the current Caramello Koala. Can you imagine biting into its belly and getting that lovely salty caramel flavour of caramel and Vegemite?

The Caramello Koala in the photographs here are sold for $1 in a box of 44 charity chocolates. Can you image how well these would sell for charity chocolate? They could come in a box of all Vegemite Caramello Koalas or in a combination of normal Caramello Koalas plus Vegemite Caramello Koalas. They could be mixed with Freddo Frogs and the creations popping candy chocolates.

I can see trendy cafes selling them as part of their milkshake creations too. They can be attached to the glasses and used as a tool to dip into ice cream and cream in a milkshake. At Halloween we can suck in our American friends and make a Halloween Cadbury Vegemite Caramello Drop Bear. It would be totally awesome.

How about it Cadbury?

Caramel latte sundae

Caramel latte sundae from Ricardo's Cafe, Jamison

Regular readers know of my love of all things from Ricardo’s Cafe in Jamison. The cake display has recently changed over and I have been drooling over the caramel latte sundae. You can see a nice photograph of the old line up on their Facebook page.

Ricardo’s cafe has recently been written up in The Canberra Times’ Good Food Guide and there was news that a second restaurant will be opening in Woden near to where I work. I’ve been joking with friends that my Lowes discount card will be smashed soon as I buy new larger trousers and a new belt.

I finished work a little early today and drove to Ricardo’s Cafe and picked up a caramel latte sundae to enjoy as dessert tonight.

Before I get to dessert though I needed to make dinner. For that I made a simple beef and bacon burger with some avocado.

I smashed the avocado first and added lots of chili flakes to add a little spice! To try to reduce the fat levels I didn’t use butter this time and no cream cheese. It still tasted pretty amazing.

 

So after enjoying the burger I pulled out the caramel latte sundae and tried to eat it slowly and savour it. I used a teaspoon which I always find better for desserts. The popcorn was pretty nice. It was still crunchy and had a great caramel flavour. Inside the dessert was smooth, sweet and had a lovely caramel surprise inside.
