Authentic Taste of Caramac
The beloved Caramac bar is being discontinued after 60 years due to low sales, leaving fans devastated. We tested various Caramac dupes to find the closest match to the original.
Caramac Bar: The Classic
Sainsbury's offers the authentic taste of Caramac for 75p per 30g bar. Made from condensed milk, butter, various flavorings, and sugar, this classic bar is often described as having a unique butterscotch-like flavor. However, some fans speculate that the recipe has changed over the years.
Taste: 7/10 Caramac similarity: 10/10 Total rating: 17/20
Cadbury’s Caramilk: Creamy Delight
Tesco's Cadbury's Caramilk is considered by many to be the closest dupe to Caramac. Priced at £1.35 for 90g, this bar is creamy, chunky, and melts nicely in your mouth. Some even argue it's better than the original Caramac, despite the higher price.
Taste: 9/10 Caramac similarity: 7/10 Total: 16/20
Nestle’s Milkybar Gold: Not Quite the Same
Don't be fooled by the name, Nestle's Milkybar Gold doesn't taste like Caramac at all. Priced at £1.25 for 85g, this white chocolate bar has an almost malty flavor that overpowers everything else. It's a hit for blondie fans, but not a great Caramac dupe.

McVities Gold: Sweet Biscuity Treat
McVities Gold takes us into biscuit territory with a sweet twist. Priced at £1.50 for eight bars, these incredibly sweet treats are best enjoyed with a cup of tea. While they don't come close to the Caramac bar, they offer a unique chocolate experience.
Taste: 6/10 Caramac similarity: 4/10 Total: 10/20
Munchies Gold: Close, but Not Quite
Sainsbury's Munchies Gold may be the closest thing to a Caramac dupe on the market, as they are made with real Caramac. However, the flavor of the biscuits and caramel inside the Munchie overpowers the Caramac taste. Storing them in the fridge may enhance the chocolate experience.
Taste: 5/10 Caramac similarity: 6/10 Total: 11/20
