Milka TUC Cracker 87g (10-pack) by Milka

Product Information

The aroma of the bar is broadly reminiscent to that of a Daim bar. The almond caramel fragrance is in the foreground, but it's as if the sweetness has been ramped up to its maximum setting. The bar is wrapped in a resealable plastic film that's difficult to recycle. The front of the bar features the iconic purple cow alongside an illustration of an alpine landscape, in the Milka lilac purple tone. A Daim brand red-coloured sunrise appears in the top right corner, alongside the Daim logo. The lilac and red Milka Daim bar

The reverse of my bar featured a large quantity of text, translated into Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonia, and English. Clearly, this is a bar that's predominantly distributed across Baltic countries. At first glance, this bar exhibits the standard 24-piece chocolate bar design. Looking a bit more closely, each segment has the Milka logo etched into it, and it features subtle rounded corners. A classic 24-segment chocolate bar Before bars loaded with Lotus Biscoff speculaas (speculoos) were the hottest trend in the chocolate world, Daim bars (or Dime bars if you're over a certain age) were the ingredient of choice. The nutritional information is printed underneath the flap on the rear of the wrapper. It shows that this bar contains a whopping 58% sugars. In this standard 100g bar, there is the equivalent of 14½ teaspoons of sugar. This one's going to be incredibly sweet. That said, Milka suggests four pieces as a sensible portion size, meaning there's theoretically six portions in this 100g bar.

Mashup chocolate bars, such as this Milka Daim Bar, are nothing new and indeed this particular bar has been around for over a decade. I like milk chocolate, and I like Daim bars, so I thought I'd like this Milka bar, which is why it slipped into my shopping basket in B&M Stores. The snap of the chocolate is soft and weak, perhaps due to the relatively high sugar content or the inclusions. Indeed, looking more closely at the bar reveals quite a gritty texture.

Milka is a German chocolate brand that originated in Switzerland in 1901. Its marketing features a purple cow, and the brand proudly uses Alpine milk in its recipe. It's now part of the Mondelēz family, as is Cadbury, another brand that uses a trademark purple colour in its branding. The distribution of Daim chunks seems haphazard too, with some segments filled to the brim while others have barely anything inside.
