If you have typed "cadbury clinkers usa" into a search bar more than once, you already know the frustrating part: this candy basically does not exist in American stores. Clinkers are one of Australia's most loved sweets, pastel candy coated chocolate bells with a crunchy honeycomb style center, and they were made for the Australian market, not for export shelves in the US. That is why most Americans only meet them through a friend who flew home from Sydney with a bag in a suitcase, or through videos of people biting into one and guessing the color inside. The good news is that you do not need a plane ticket. Carian's Bistro stocks the Cadbury Pascal Clinkers 160 gr bag and ships it from within the US, so the hunt ends with a normal checkout instead of an international postage bill and a three week wait.
What Are Cadbury Clinkers?
A Clinker is a small bell shaped piece of candy with three layers working at once. On the outside there is a pastel candy shell, the kind of crisp sugary coating that cracks cleanly between your teeth. Under the shell sits a coating of Cadbury milk chocolate. And in the middle is the part everyone talks about: a crunchy, airy center that tastes like honeycomb toffee, sweet with a slightly malty edge, that shatters when you bite into it.
Those centers come in three colors, pink, green and yellow, and each color has its own mild fruity flavor. The chocolate and the shell hide the center completely, so from the outside every Clinker in the bag looks the same. That hidden center is the whole personality of the candy, and it leads straight to the game further down this page.
The standard bag sold across Australia is the 160 gr bag, the size we stock. It is big enough to share if you are feeling generous, and small enough to disappear during a single movie if you are not.
What Do Clinkers Taste Like?
Think texture first, because that is what surprises people. The shell gives a clean snap, the chocolate softens the bite, and then the center crunches like the inside of a honeycomb bar before it melts away. The whole thing is sweet, but the crunch keeps it from feeling heavy, and one piece never feels like enough.
Flavor wise, the milk chocolate is classic Cadbury: creamy, smooth, and familiar if you have ever had one of their bars. The centers lean fruity and toffee like at the same time, closer to a hard candy crunch than to anything chewy. Australians grow up on the taste, which is why expats tend to describe a first bite as instant nostalgia, while first timers usually describe it as the candy they did not know they were missing.
The Color Guessing Game Everyone Plays
Clinkers come with a built in party game, and nobody has to teach it to you. It just happens. Before you bite, you call a color: pink, green or yellow. Then you bite and see whether the center matches your call. Get it right and you feel oddly proud of yourself. Get it wrong and you reach straight back into the bag to even the score.
Families in Australia have played this on road trips, at movie nights and around kitchen tables for decades, and it is a big reason the candy travels so well on social media. A bag of Clinkers is never just a snack; it is a small competition. Fair warning if this is your first order: one bag rarely survives a full round of the game, so plan accordingly.
Pascal or Cadbury? The Name on the Bag, Explained
Search for this candy and you will see two names, Pascal Clinkers and Cadbury Clinkers, often attached to what looks like the exact same bag. Pascal was the classic Australian confectionery name on the candy for years, and it is still the name most Aussies use out of habit. Cadbury owns the brand and leads the packaging today, which is why our listing reads Cadbury Pascal Clinkers: both names, one candy, the same bells in the same 160 gr bag.
So if you grew up asking for Pascal Clinkers, the Cadbury bag is the one you remember, and if you found the candy through a Cadbury search, it is the same thing again. There is no copycat version to watch out for here, just one product with a naming history. You can find it alongside the rest of the range in our Cadbury collection.
Cadbury Clinkers USA: Why They Are So Hard to Find
Clinkers are produced in Australia for Australian shelves. Cadbury's American business runs on a different product lineup, so US supermarkets never stocked them, and most big importers skip smaller Aussie lines in favor of British chocolate. Add short production runs, long ocean shipping, and the fact that every Australian expat in America buys the candy the moment it appears, and you get a sweet that is famous and unavailable at the same time.
That gap is exactly why "cadbury clinkers usa" is such a busy search. People typing it are not looking for information; they are looking for a store. Most of what they find is marketplace sellers shipping single bags out of Australia, with delivery times measured in weeks and totals that climb fast once postage is added.
Cadbury Clinkers USA: Where to Buy Them
Carian's Bistro imports Clinkers ourselves and ships orders from within the United States.

Standard shipping is $7.99, shipping is free on orders of $50 or more, and orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days, so a bag ordered this week actually shows up this week.
We keep the listing simple on purpose: the same bag you would pick up in a Sydney supermarket, priced in dollars, packed in the US and delivered by US carriers. No currency conversion, no customs forms, and no wondering whether your candy is sitting on a boat somewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy Cadbury Clinkers in the USA?
Yes, but almost never in physical stores, because Cadbury makes Clinkers in Australia for the Australian market. Carian's Bistro imports them and ships from within the US, so you can order the 160 gr bag online for $16.99 and get it in 1 to 3 business days.
What are Clinkers made of?
Each piece has a pastel candy shell, a layer of Cadbury milk chocolate, and a crunchy honeycomb style center. The centers come in pink, green and yellow, and each color carries its own light fruity flavor.
Are Pascal Clinkers and Cadbury Clinkers the same candy?
Yes. Pascal is the classic Australian name the candy carried for years, and Cadbury is the company behind the brand today. The bag sold as Cadbury Pascal Clinkers is the same product Australians have been buying for decades.
Why do people guess a color before eating a Clinker?
The chocolate and the candy shell hide the center completely, so you cannot see its color until you bite. Calling pink, green or yellow before the bite turned into a game in Australia, and it is half the fun of sharing a bag.
