Flake (chocolate bar) Flake (chocolate bar) Flake is a brand of chocolate bar currently manufactured by Cadbury consisting of thinly folded milk chocolate. The later product, Cadbury Twirl (chocolate bar), created by Cadbury, has very close similarities to the Flake, and could be considered as a companion covered Flake product. The original Flake product was first developed in 1920 and was discovered by chance by an employee of Cadbury's at the Bournville factory who noticed thin streams of excess chocolate falling from moulds cooled into flaky ripples. By 1930, Cadbury's was selling half-length Flake specifically for prodding into vanilla soft serve ice cream
