Milka Marzipan Creme Review

Today our international snack blog is reviewing a chocolate bar produced by German based and Austrian founded Milka.  This isn’t our first review of a Milka Chocolate Bar, earlier this year we took a close look at the Milka Oreo Cookie Bar and we absolutely loved it!  So what does World of Snacks think of the Milka Marzipan Crème Chocolate Bar?

First, what is Marzipan?  We thought we knew.  Our impression was that it’s Europe’s version of peanut butter, something that is oddly missing overseas.  We were greatly mistaken.  Marzipan is a sweet mixture made of sugar or honey and almond meal.  Now that’s out of the way, let’s take a closer look at Milka Marzipan Crème.

Milka produces a range of size of their chocolate bars.  You can get anything from extra small to massive.  Our sample of the Milka Marzipan Creme weighs in at 100 grams and is a big chocolate bar by American standards but is actually a medium sized candy bar according to Milka themselves.  Our bar is contained in a light purple wrapper and featured their trade mark logo and the company mascot, a purple cow.  To the right there is some German with the wordz “Marzipan An-Crème” easily translatable.  There’s also a picture of a few pieces of the chocolate bar and what we thought were peanuts. We now know they are almonds.  On to the taste test!

After our last encounter with Milka chocolate we had high hopes for this snack.  Although never having Marzipan before we weren’t really sure what to expect.  We have been missing out!  Marzipan Crème is awesome and so is this Milka candy bar version.  The chocolate of course is fantastic.  Slight soft, milky, and smooth. The Marzipan is sweet, creamy, and hints towards amaretto.   Combined they are delightful.  The amount of Marzipan is exaggerated on the wrapper, but the amount provided in the actual chocolate bar is sufficient.

Earlier this year we launched our international snack store and each month in 2014 we are expanding to include a new country and their best snacks.  A few months back we added German Snacks and the Milka Marzipan Crème is one of the snacks we offer for sale online.  Check out the best snacks from around the world on our website and leave your details to the right if you want to stay in touch.  Keep on snacking world!
