Milky Bar – Average White Chocolate

Milky Bar

Here’s something odd: the wrapper of the Milky Bar I ate for this review contains two separate lists of ingredients.  One of them is on the wrapper itself, and one is on a sticker, presumably put there by the company that imported the British bar into Canada.

The lists are surprisingly different.  Most pressingly, the sticker version lists sugar as the first ingredient, directly contradicting the wrapper’s proclamation that “milk is our no. 1 ingredient.”  Is milk the number one ingredient or not?  Who am I supposed to believe??

Anyway, it’s plain white chocolate, so there’s not much to it.  I should note that the sticker on the front of the wrapper is keen to point out that’s it’s actually a “white chocolaty candy bar” rather than a white chocolate candy bar, presumably due to the inclusion of vegetable fat supplementing the cocoa butter.

It’s tasty enough.  I guess it’s not technically real white chocolate, but it’s fairly creamy.  True to its name, it has a pronounced milky flavour.  It’s not the best white chocolate you’ll ever eat, but it’ll do in a pinch.
