In a land far far away, as the enticing aroma of cocoa and drinking chocolate started spreading across through ages and places, it finally landed centuries later and \u2018Krafted\u2019 itself .<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the story of how the stunning dark chocolate met the fair princess.<\/p>\n

No, we are not talking about a magical fable filled with dinosaurs or dragons, though one of the above mentioned did use a dragon for advertising one of its most premium sub-brands \u2013 Bournville where the magic had started growing in the mid 1800\u2019s.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, we are talking about the much awaited partnership between Cadbury and Kraft.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t buy it, you earn it!<\/p>\n

\"Cadbury\"

Cadbury<\/p><\/div>\n

No wonder it has been a long chase for KRAFT <\/a>for this bid offer to Cadbury!<\/p>\n

Cadbury began it\u2019s life in the early 1800\u2019s by John Cadbury in Birmingham as a small grocery shop. From there it began spreading across its magical aroma of cocoa and drinking chocolate and rose to build up the amazing chocolate factory (raised by his sons) in the heart of the small town of Bournville. Slowly with the passage of time, Bournville was positively consumed by the choco aroma as jobs and commercial sales began to shoot up in this small town.<\/p>\n

Cadbury <\/a>today is known all across the world as the biggest confectionaries with a wide range of powerfully known sub brands of \u201cDiary Milk<\/a>\u201d, \u201cHalls Cough Drops\u201d, \u201cTrident Gum\u201d & the current super chocolate \u201cBournville<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n
