I used to regularly buy the Nesquik chocolate milk slices, but haven't had them in a while, opting for chocolate cake/ muffins instead. To be honest, I'd all but forgotten about them until these Milkybar versions were released. At £1 for four from ASDA they weren't too badly priced though, and they're good to eat up to 6 hours from the fridge.
Oh, well they're not the most appetising looking snacks are they? The thin squares of cake were only a couple of millimetres thick and disconcertingly smooth. Perhaps cutting it in two would make it look prettier. What do you think?
The cake itself was solid and reminded me of rusk as opposed to the sponge it promised of. It didn't have any noticeable flavour either - no butteriness or even egg to it. Hmm.
The situation improved slightly with the filling, which was whipped and moussey in texture. Like white chocolate it was very sweet, but that's where the similarities ended. The filling had a generic vanilla ice cream flavour, with the merest hint of white chocolate, but it was certainly no MilkyBar.
I don't think I'll bother with these again.

Oh good. I don't have to waste time hunting for these now!
ReplyDeleteNo they're certainly not worth the time or effort! x
DeleteThey don't look particularly impressive, though the 'sandwich' sliced-through shot does help a little. As they're aimed at children the lack of strong, stand out flavours doesn't surprise me but visually they do look admittedly disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate Nesquik ones are much better!
Deletehmm interesting - i quite like rusks so perhaps i'll enjoy them more lol. i really like the nesquik ones as they are similar to a Kinder product i used to buy when i was at uni, dont see the Kinder ones around much any more, think the last time i bought one it was in some random polish shop.
