I recently discovered Milka Chocolate thanks to Killarney Market and to all my Facebook friends who confirmed its reputation for being some of the best chocolate in the world.
The Shopping
Originating in Switzerland, Milka Chocolate comes in a TON of different flavours.
I wondered if these were just novelty ideas! So many creative ways to make a chocolate bar.
But how would they taste? At +$2 a bar, I decided to pick up two different bars over a weekend to indulge in.
The First Taste Test
I decided to get Reg the Raspberry Creme and I got the Caramel, which at the time I thought was chocolate orange. Doh!
Reg found his very rich and enjoyed it over a few days. I found the raspberry to be quite fragrant but not necessarily natural in flavour. The caramel was very sweet and I enjoyed it over the weekend too.
When it comes to the milk chocolate, yes, pretty darn high quality for a chocolate that is usually shunned by the foodie elite. I happen to LOVE milk chocolate.
The Second Taste Test
I was impressed enough to go out and buy another bar to test. I got the Choqsplash Hazelnut since I love chocolate and hazelnut together.
I can tell you that it was not easy breaking off a piece of the chocolate without breaking open one of those 3D pouches of hazelnut goo.
But I did!
Foodie Conclusion
And then of course I had to crack it open so you could see the hazelnut liquid ooze from its chocolate pouch.
I personally did not notice an extreme hazelnut flavour which was a shame. Reg did, he is more sensitive to flavours than I am. I was hoping for more of a flavour bang. It was a little too subtle for me.
Still, I love the milk chocolate and I can see how Milka has become so beloved. I just do not know how it has been in my foodie blindspot for so long. I can not wait to explore more flavours and silly approaches to chocolate. Milka really captures a fun and child-like approach to chocolate which really appeals to this adult foodie. Clever!!!
I give this product four out of five wooden spoons.
They’re sold here too but I don’t enjoy sweet chocolate and to be honest, I never even like ANY kind of choco-treats until one day a lady who worked for a chocolate company brought in these dark lovely bits of yum. Oh my gosh. So I came to the chocolate game late in life. Anyway, I do like the packaging of these chocolates and around here, they are priced well. Both our Aldi and Wally World sells them. Not sure who else.
Happy Eating and Boogie Boogie.
You know I was not a fan of chocolate for a very long time but now? I totally like it too! I think the prices are quite good for the quality too.
I agree about the prices/quality thing. I used to get these for Tim and I’ve tried their dark bites too.
Were the dark bites good? Was curious about those, especially considering the other ones are milk chocolate.
I like milk chocolate too! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for Milka brand.
Hope you also enjoy it Debra! It’s quite fun as well as delicious.
I really miss the Milka strawberry bars like I used to buy in Turkey.
Sorry to hear you can’t get them anymore Nar.

I have seen this brand all the time in two local supermarkets. I didn’t know how good it was. I am going to pick it up next time I see it.
I hope you enjoy it too Shell! 🙂
