White Chocolate World

OK, it’s time to address the elephant in the room. The titan of white chocolate, the daddy, the childhood memories, the adverts and the legend that is Milkybar. Most likely the first experience anyone had with White chocolate if they were born before the ’90s BG&B (Before Green & Black’s). For me, it was Milkybar and also the white chocolate mice that my mum used to buy for our dog Tara. So if you think that Milkybar is the worst quality white chocolate you are very wrong. Tasting Milkybar after quite some time of eating far superior quality chocolate is like slipping back into a pair of trousers you used to wear 20 years ago. They don’t quite fit, they are horribly out of style but you can’t help looking at yourself in the mirror and enjoying it. Milkybar is the same as it ever has been. Horrifically sweet, super creamy and with an aftertaste that is purely it’s own. I can’t even place what the aftertaste is, somewhere between super creamy sugar and acrid chemical. Pitting it against other white chocolate is somewhat ridiculous, it’s not really even comparable, it’s Milkybar and I ate the entire 100g bar and loved every bit of it.
