Curtis Stone has drawn on his fondest memories of baking in the kitchen for his latest unique honour.

The US based chef created a new flavour for Cadbury called Caramel Slice which he used to make as a child using his mum’s cookbook recipes.

“It was probably seven or eight months ago that we just started with a blank piece of paper,’’ Stone said.

“If you could do a flavour what would it be?

“It’s like Australia’s best kept secret the caramel slice. No one else has it.

“My mum was a really good baker and it’s one of the first recipes that I remember making and being pretty obsessed with how it tasted.

“It’s my boys’ dream and Cadbury is a brand that I grew up with so I pinch myself.”

Stone is the first person to have their name on a Cadbury wrapper with the limited edition blocks in celebration of the Aussie icon’s 100 years of manufacturing in Australia.

Stone also visited the factory in Tasmania to see the chocolate come to life.

Paul Chatfield, Vice President of Marketing for Cadbury, said: “With Cadbury celebrating 100

years in Australia, we wanted to commemorate the milestone with a bang, and we couldn’t think of a better way than to partner with Curtis Stone.

“We’re delighted to continue our incredible relationship with Coles and exclusively offer the special-edition block to the Australian retailer for their customers to experience. Together, we’ve created an iconic flavour that Australians will get excited about.”

Curtis Stone’s Caramel Slice blocks are available exclusively in Coles supermarkets nationally from June 22.
