An American couple residing in the UK recently shared their experience trying a popular British chocolate bar for the first time. Brianna Sky Morton and her partner, who relocated from the US, have been exploring traditional British cuisine and sharing their reviews online.
They recently tasted a Nestle Milkybar, expressing that it was unfamiliar compared to American chocolates. Introduced in the UK and Switzerland in 1936, Milkybar is renowned for its smooth texture and simple recipe, free from artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, emphasizing milk as the primary component.
The Milkybar range includes various products like Milkybar Buttons, Milkybar Kid Bar, Milkybar Giant Buttons Sharing Bag, Milkybar White Chocolate Dessert, and Milkybar Jelly & Ice Cream Rowntree’s, launched last year.
Known for its association with the famous ‘Milkybar Kid’ from TV commercials, this white chocolate is popular among both adults and children. Brianna and her partner reviewed the Milkybar Sharing Bar in a TikTok video, expressing intrigue and curiosity about its taste.
Upon tasting, they noted similarities to Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme but with a more milky flavor. While Brianna found it intriguing and growing on her, her partner was perplexed and undecided about his liking for it.
Comparing it to Nestle Lion white chocolate without the crunchy pieces, the couple concluded that Milkybar was enjoyable but described it as having an “identity crisis.” The video included the ingredients of milk powders, sugar, cocoa butter, vegetable fat, emulsifier, and natural flavoring.
In their TikTok caption, they expressed confusion, stating that such a chocolate is not found in America. The video has attracted numerous comments from users sharing their thoughts on Milkybar.
Fans of the chocolate praised its taste, with one calling it their favorite white chocolate. British viewers mentioned that children particularly enjoy Milkybar, with some stating it as a common first chocolate for babies in the UK.
The nostalgic references to the Milkybar Kid in old adverts were shared among the commenters, highlighting the sentimental value of the chocolate among families. Overall, Milkybar was described as a toddlers’ chocolate and a guilty pleasure for some adults, known for being good white chocolate and a favorite among kids.
