Malted Milk

Name: Malted Milk
Brand: Cadbury
Place Purchased: London Drugs (Vancouver, BC)
Price: unknown
Size: 48 grams
Calories per ounce: no info on wrapper
Type: Chocolate/Nougat



On the outside the package promises malt. On the inside of the chocolate bar delivers sweet and bland, fluffy nougat. If you're someone who likes Milky Ways or 3 Musketeers, this'll be a good bar for you.

The bar is built like this: a foamy nougat that's slightly malty with a strip of caramel on top and then the whole thing is covered in sticky sweet milk chocolate. I know, you're thinking Milky Way. So am I. The nougat is actually more malty, a little more flavorful than an American Milky Way, but not enough that I'd go branding it with the word MALT on the package.

Don't get me wrong, it's not all that bad. The best part about this bar was the caramel. It's slightly salty and was a good balance to the sweetness of the center and the chocolate coating.

If you're looking for another version of a Milky Way bar, you'll probably feel very at home with this bar. If you're looking for a bar like a malted milk ball, this ain't it.

Rating - 6 out of 10

I probably should! I've got two other malt candies here to review, the Malteasers (from Canada) and some malted milk balls I got while in Ohio at the Harry London Chocolate Factory.

I love malt!
