Milka Alpine Milk

In February I had a Milka with chocolate creme filling which I was not too crazy about. But then I am not a fan of creme flavoring. So I decided to try the milk chocolate version of the Milka. The bar is very light appearing. I took several pictures with the flash on to get the lettering to stand out. The flavor is very milky with not much chocolate or hazelnut present. There is a burnt sugar taste of toffee present. The bar melts very slowly in your mouth unlike other milk chocolate bars.

Grade: D+. Pass on this one unless this is your only chocolate option. That is 0 for 2 for Milka. Calories: 230 cal/serving. Package contains 2.5 servings.

Cadbury Caramello


In February I had a Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel imported from Britain. The Cadbury Caramello is made under license by Hershey in the USA. This two serving bar has the same light brown color as the Dairy milk but is scored into smaller sections. Same milky sweet aroma. Very similar so far but now it changes. The caramel is not as sweet or milky but just as chewy. The chocolate is not as sweet or milky and more cocoa like. I definitely prefer the British version!

Grade: C+. One serving has 200 calories. 2.5 servings/bar.

Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats


America's favorite cereal snack has been available in small serving sizes for many years. The bar is small, low calorie compared to other candy bars, and there is not preparation. Sweet marshmallow aroma which when bitten has a nice crunch but is still chewy. Flavor of marshmallow and butter like.

Grade: A- Yummy. The only thing better is the homemade variety which have an even more buttery taste. Serving size one bar which has 90 calories.

Nestle Butterfinger


The Butterfinger is an all American classic first made by Curtiss in 1923. Very similar to the Fifth Avenue I ate in February. The Butterfinger has a very strong peanut butter and butter aroma with the chocolate playing second fiddle. The texture is crunchy and crisp. Strong peanut butter flavor with hints of molasses.

Grade: B+. Don't lay a hand on my Butterfinger! Calories 270 per bar.
