Carlos the SweetieName: Carlos V  First, I have to say that I appreciate the size of these bars. They’re not miniature sized and not full candy bar sized. They’re the right size. You can eat two and probably not feel bad about it. The image of Carlos V on the front kind of creeps me out the same way that the Burger King pantomime character in the recent commercials does, but maybe you don’t have a problem with that. Anyway, what’s inside is a small milk chocolate bar. It’s kind of a cross between a European Cadbury bar, with its sticky milkyness and an American Nestle bar with its strong chocolate flavor. It’s very sweet, but I know that’s most people’s attraction to milk chocolate over dark chocolate. It was not at all grainy and had a pleasant vanilla scent. It melted well on the tongue. Mostly what I got from it though is a taste of powdered milk - which if you don’t think about it too hard tastes kind of like malt. But don’t think too hard if you’re going to enjoy this bar, just eat it. Rating: 6 out of 10.

I have to say, I LOVE THESE BARS. You’re right, not too big, not too
small and DELICIOSO!
And you’re right again about the guy on the wrapper…BURGER KING
CREEPY!
jajaja yes he is a little creepy but not as much as the burger king guy. they just recently changed the face on the wrapper, to make it “modern” but from many comments I have heard this change was not very appreciated.
I love those. For a while they had little puzzles and crap on the wrappers and I saved them.
I loved this bar! my boy friend name is Carlos and his last name starts with a V. He bought it for me and we got a good laugh out of it. CarlosV is really sweet.
Me like Carlos V good. Yum Yum it taste. Picture Carlos V, he look my boy friend handsome.
