Just browsing and found this discussion. I never knew home brand was so good, then so bad,and hopefully so good again. What a roller coaster! LOL

Got some too.... inspected the box & contents thoroughly, and they match!  8)
kudos to Woolies for listening to their customers...you don't normally find big chains doing so.

 I wonder how big an influence this forum was to this great result. Now, what can we change next.

They'd be pretty OLD now Robyn, production stopped in 2009...don't think I'd eat one of them  :P

No, I would love them to be brought back into production.

Going to check for the Home brand coco, not in the foil packets.

So many would *sigh*.....they said it cost more to make, than what they were selling, which I'm sure that had a lot to do when they changed the recipe  :-))......obviously another exercise in cost cutting, led to another demise of something so loved  :-\

re: cocoa.... a nice change to have value for money in a quality product.

The cocoa hasn't made it over here yet, but at least I know why no homebrand isn't on the shelf.  I actually haven't baked with cocoa at all lately and still have a whole bag of cocoa to use up...probably because it's not as good.

My local Woolies has started selling home brand cocoa again in the box but when I looked it said it was a product of Germany. Wasn't the original Dutch? Is it the same or will it be a lesser quality?
