Fry's Chocolate Cream

Fry's Chocolate Cream is a chocolate bar made by Cadbury's, and formerly by J. S. Fry & Sons in Union Street, Bristol, England. Fry's Chocolate Cream was one of the first chocolate bars ever produced, launched in 1866. Like the first chocolate bars, they are dairy-free and vegan. It consists of a fondant centre enrobed in dark chocolate (with a minty taste) and is available in a plain version, and also peppermint Fondant

There are currently two variants of Fry's Cream:

Over the years, other variants existed:

An unsuccessful mid-1990s relaunch attempt also saw new variants available under the modernised "Fry's Spirit" branding for a while:

Whether the Five Centre title was dropped briefly and relaunched as Fruit Medley (then changed back again) or they sat alongside each other despite essentially being the same bar is unclear.

Cadbury's also produced a solid milk chocolate bar called Five Boys using the Fry's trademark from 1902 until 1976. Cadbury's produced milk and plain chocolate sandwich bars under the Fry's branding also.

There is currently a petition on Change.org calling on Cadbury to relaunch Fry's Chocolates.

Fry's chocolate bar was promoted by model George Lazenby, who later portrayed James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, in 1969.

The Fry's chocolate bar was first produced in Union Street, Bristol, England in 1866, where the family name had been associated with chocolate making since c. 1761. In 1923, Fry's (now Cadbury) chocolate factory moved to Somerdale Garden City, Keynsham, England.

Following a 2010 takeover of Cadbury plc by Kraft Foods, the Somerdale factory was closed on 31 March 2011 and its machinery shipped to Warsaw, Poland, where Cadbury production continues.
