WEEKLY CANDY: Cadbury Double Decker Bar

WEEKLY CANDY: Cadbury Double Decker Bar
OK so we don't really rock this feature on a weekly basis anymore, but we're gonna keep on calling it Weekly Candy, in the same spirit of Conan O'Brien continuing his "In the Year 2000" bit well after the turn of the century.
IN QUESTION: Cadbury's Double Decker candy bar, a milk chocolate-covered treat filled with soft, chewy nougat layered atop a crunchy cereal bottom. It's kind of like if someone spliced together the sugary DNA of a Three Musketeers and a Nestle Crunch Bar. Like most commercial candy bars, Double Deckers are not crafted with top-notch chocolate, but there is much textural satisfaction to be found in 'em regardless.
AVAILABLE AT: I first came across the Double D in a London vending machine about two years ago — after trying one, my roommate and I made sure our dorm room was stocked with a supply at all times. Lucky for us, Capogiro (117 S. 20th St.) started selling Double Deckers here in Philly this past September, so it's now that much easier to reminisce.
HOW MANY DO WE EAT IN ONE SITTING: Unless you're on a diet or have an extreme aversion to processed chocolate, you will likely blink and suddenly find an empty wrapper crumpled in your choco-stained hand.
FINER POINTS: Double Deckers are a little pricey at $1.50 a pop, but you'll seem super sophisticated when you tell your friends about the bloody brilliant London-based chocolate bar you're a bit fond of eating.
