\"Milka<\/a><\/p>\n

Oreo has become the Lego of food. <\/p>\n

Years ago Lego was just Lego, but at some point they decided to dip their blocks in everyone else\u2019s product pool. You can get a Lego set of any entertainment brand you want these days. I just Amazon one-clicked a Lego set of The Max from Saved by the Bell<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a liar of course, but maybe The Impulsive Buy\u2019s clout can get that set made. Let\u2019s make this happen, people!<\/p>\n

Anyway, Oreo seems to be following Lego\u2019s model on the culinary scene. A new Oreo flavor seems to drop every month and they\u2019re collaborating with other food brands. Oreo has become the Lego of food! Of course to the dimwitted adventurous child, Lego is the Lego of food. <\/p>\n

The most recent Oreo collaboration I stumbled upon was the Milka Oreo Chocolate Candy Bar.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t too familiar with Milka chocolate before they decided to bunk up with Nabisco. I\u2019d seen it many times, but never actually bought it, and ya know what? I\u2019m dumb. It\u2019s pretty great. <\/p>\n

The label boasts that Milka is Swiss-made with Alpine Milk, which lends to its overall creaminess. Is that the secret? Alpine Milk? Can I buy Alpine Milk in pints, because I think I love it?<\/p>\n

\"Milka<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be real here for a second, European chocolate destroys our American brand chocolate. Sure I like Hershey’s or Russell Stover, but Euro chocolate is just more decadent. It\u2019s creamier. It just flat out tastes better, and Milka certainly holds up to that billing in my opinion. <\/p>\n

The chocolate here is everything I just said it was. It had a perfect texture, a sweet flavor that wasn\u2019t overbearing, and it melted in my mouth. <\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the Oreo cookie crunch as well. It\u2019s not as prominent as say a Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme bar, but that\u2019s a good thing. This candy bar has the perfect amount of crunch. Each square gives you two or three small crunches.<\/p>\n

\"Milka<\/a><\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t necessarily say that I KNEW the cream was Oreo. Well, I knew because the label told me. But without it, I would think this was Milka\u2019s take on a cookies and cream bar. That being said, I still think it\u2019s awesome to look at. Seeing a layer of Oreo cream dotted with bits of cookies inside of a candy bar is a marvel to behold. A marvel I say!<\/p>\n

Real quick – Is it Oreo cream or Oreo cr\u00e8me? I can\u2019t keep up with products that have \u201ccr\u00e8me\u201d vs. those with \u201ccream.\u201d Is there a difference? \u201cCr\u00e8me\u201d is just a fancy way of spelling \u201ccream,\u201d right? This being a European, and thus fancy candy bar, I feel like I should say \u201ccr\u00e8me,\u201d but I never know. The battle of \u201ccream\u201d versus \u201ccr\u00e8me\u201d rages on. Hell, one snack cake I picked up even claimed it was filled with \u201cKareem!\u201d I put that one back on the shelf.<\/p>\n

So as far as this collaboration goes, Milka is the deserved star. Oreo plays the supporting role nicely though despite the cream being a bit indeterminable.<\/p>\n

Great balance. Great freshness. Great texture. For $1.50, you can\u2019t go wrong. Milka has a new fan. This might be my new favorite \u201ccookies and cream\u201d candy bar.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the Milka Oreo Chocolate Candy Bar becomes a gateway snack, and they start making chocolate bars with the other various crazy Oreo cream\/cr\u00e8me flavors. <\/p>\n

But hold the <\/a>Swedish Fish.<\/p>\n
