\"Milka<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

The Milka Double Chocolate Oreo Candy Bar features bits of Oreo cookies in chocolate cr\u00e8me and covered in European Milka chocolate.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s chocolate inside of chocolate covered in even more chocolate. I\u2019m guessing a person\u2019s opinion on the bar will depend on two things: do they believe there is such a thing as \u201ctoo chocolatey\u201d and just how fancy in this European candy anyway? <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Milka<\/p>\n

As expected, this bar is very chocolate-forward. There\u2019s a surprisingly sharp dark chocolate bite, but as a fan of the stuff, it isn\u2019t unwelcome. The cr\u00e8me adds to the choco-overload nature of the bar, with a pleasing smooth texture. At least, it would be smooth if not for the Oreo bits. They\u2019re too small to add any real textural interest, instead contributing a gritty mouthfeel. If there\u2019s anything special about the Milka chocolate, it\u2019s lost in the other elements.<\/p>\n

This bar is missing balance. The other Oreo candy bars, cookies & cr\u00e8me and mint, succeed because the flavored cr\u00e8me balance the chocolate. Oreo cookies work for the same reason (Keep your Double Stuf. I need the perfect cookie-to-cr\u00e8me ratio of the original). The cr\u00e8me here doesn\u2019t offer any complimentary flavor, so I\u2019m left thinking I\u2019d be better off just eating a plain chocolate bar for my fix. Or an Oreo.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Milka<\/p>\n

How do you like to eat your chocolate? Do you chomp down on it with wild abandon, munching it in an attempt to shove as much of it in your face in as short a time as possible? Or do you like to let it slowly melt in your mouth, luxuriating in the silken texture as your body heat slowly releases the subtle flavors and aromas of your single source free trade organic bar? <\/p>\n

I tried both ways, and this is a bar made for munching. The problem is that single note chocolate flavor doesn\u2019t offer enough excitement as compared to other candy bars.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

The Milka Double Chocolate Oreo Candy Bar is missing the balance of the other Oreo candy bars, and of the Oreo cookie itself. It\u2019s a decent product that won\u2019t totally satisfy anyone. <\/p>\n
