Homebrand - I bought some the other day by mistake and man alive it is dark and rich and very chocolate-y - made a beautiful chocolate cake!

I believe Cadbury's may have gone to anoher source because of failed crops a few yeas back, but I may be incorrect about that! I agree with you lizzi_mc-Homebrand (from Countdown) is certainly darker. I like it!

I use Pams from Pak n Save and also find it very good. Cadburys has gone to the dogs.

I use Pam's or Trade Aid as I try to be a conscious consumer when I can afford to, not a fan of Cadbury and like Nestle even less. Haven't tried homebrand yet.

Always personal taste. I use Blooker cocoa and Vahlrona.

I agree homebrand out of the standard supermarket available ones - used to use nestle but rubbish now, sunvalley is rubbish. I should buy some more expensive sorts one day and compare

Home brand by far.There have been numerous threads on this and home brand comes out a definite winner in the supermarket range for colour richness, flavour and price.If you can't find it on the shelf look in with the tea and coffee products.

Homebrand for me too- have been putting it into Dutch Gold Cocoa container - no one in the family has noticed the difference!

Pams for me. Good flavour, cheap and comes in a convenient container.

You can buy a good quality Dutch cocoa here on Trademe too. Much nicer than Blooker's.

Thank you for that. The Cadburys cocoa is so pale and looks like they' ve put drinking chocolate in the packets instead of cocoa. The pudding I made still turned out OK but I put heaps of cocoa in. Will get Homebrand next time.

Homebrand for me too but I transfer it into an old Pams plastic cocoa container as the bag and box combo with the Homebrand is messier to use and I get cocoa everywhere just trying to get it out.

Homebrand is outstanding.I also buy a packet of Vahlrona occasionally for birthday cakes for the one or two people who like recipes using dutch process cocoa.

I noticed with my newly opened nestle tin that my biscuits wr paler than usual. Dissapointing as it was always first choice, now i will try homebrand.
