DETAILS OF THE RECIPE HAVE BEEN KEPT A SECRET, BUT IT IS BELIEVED TO BE A DARK CHOCOLATE BAR WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF COCOA SOLIDS. CADBURY MAKES THREE TO FOUR BATCHES A YEAR AND JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS SENDS A SERIES OF BARS TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE, WINDSOR PALACE AND SANDRINGHAM, ACCORDING TO A RECENT ARTICLE IN THE DAILY MAIL. THE CHOCOLATE IS WRAPPED IN GOLD FOIL WITH A RED WRAPPER BEARING THE ROYAL CREST AND 'BY APPOINTMENT TO HM THE QUEEN'. BENEATH THE CREST, THE WORDS 'CADBURY'S SUPERIOR CULINARY PLAIN CHOCOLATE' ARE WRITTEN. TONY BILSBOROUGH, A SPOKESMAN FOR CADBURY, TOLD THE NEWSPAPER: 'WE DO MAKE THE QUEEN A BAR OF DARK CHOCOLATE. IT'S NOT FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC. WE MAKE THIS FOR HER UNDER THE TERMS OF THE ROYAL MARK. WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING CHOCOLATE TO THE ROYAL FAMILY SINCE VICTORIAN TIMES BUT I CANNOT DISCUSS THE RECIPE.' KNOWN AS 'ROYAL HOUSEHOLD CHOCOLATE' BY STAFF AT CADBURY, IT IS BELIEVED TO BE SUITABLE FOR COOKING AS WELL AS EATING ON ITS OWN.
