It doesn't seem to matter who you are, there is something about a good candy that we can't resist. And even for the royals, there are plenty of sweet treats that they can't resist either. For the late Princess Diana, it seems that she had her own favorite candy bar that she was partial to. And thanks to Darren McGrady, a former chef for the royal family, we know what that candy was.
According to Mashed, McGrady opened up about some of the favorite treats of members of the royal family, and in particular what Princess Diana enjoyed. It turns out that Princess Diana was a fan of Cadbury and specifically the Twirl chocolate bars. (Although it has been said that she had a bit of a weakness for sweets.)
The Cadbury Twirl bars were first launched by the company in 1985 and are actually a milk chocolate bar with curls and swirls of chocolate throughout. They are a rather unique, high quality treat and it makes sense that the princess might have been a fan.

So how did Darren McGrady learn about Princess Diana's love of the Cadbury Twirl bar? It seems that he drove her car to the gas station and found the wrappers in the glove box. And when he asked her about them, she joked that they must have been her sons (both of whom were away at school at the time).
Considering the immense popularity of Cadbury chocolates, it really doesn't come as much of a surprise that even Princess Diana was a fan of the brand. And of course, there is something quite unique about their Twirl bars, so it makes sense that the princess might have enjoyed the texture and flavor of this sweet treat.
Honestly, if you have ever wanted to channel your inner Princess Diana, maybe grabbing a Cadbury Twirl bar and taking a moment for yourself might just be the way to do it. We are already big fans of Cadbury chocolates, but we have yet to give this particular bar a try. And maybe we need to change that.
If you want to give the Twirl bar a try, you may need to find a store that offers imports from the UK. Stores like World Market might have these on shelves, and you can always check out Amazon if you want to give Princess Diana's favorite chocolate bar a try for yourself.
We love learning these little facts about Princess Diana. And it definitely lets us feel a bit closer to royalty when we can enjoy some of their favorite treats too.
