Milka Die 60er à la Heisse Liebe
Ah, die 60er, what a delicious sounding flavour. Milka actually have a few ranges – Die 50er, Die 60er and Die 70er. Is it to do with the cocoa solids? Well, that would make sense, let’s take a look.
I decided to use Babelfish for “Heisse Liebe” and it came back with “Be called love”, which I then translated to French, Italian, back to French, Portugese and finally back to English and came back with “They call l’ ; tresca”. Cryptic…
I forgot where I was going with that. Anyway the front of the pack has some ice cream with raspberries in, so I assume there’s at least a raspberry filling in the chocolate, perhaps with vanilla too. It certainly looks nice.
The bar smells delicious, but looks bad. It has that weird dusty look that some chocolate I’ve had in the past has had, like it’s bloomed. The bar is quite thick and has a pink fondant filling. It smells of raspberry and vanilla, and tastes of…raspberry and vanilla.
In fact, this bar is actually really, really nice. It’s fruity, tangy, sweet. The chocolate is nice, the raspberry is delicious and the vanilla blends in really well, a great combo of flavours. It reminds me of the Lindt Petit Desserts range, and is definitely on a par with it. It does almost taste like a raspberry ice cream with chocolate, and I highly recommend it.

I’m so full of glee you reviewed a milka bar! I’ve just started a milka obsession, after consuming mainly lindt for months and being poncey about ‘cheaper chocolate but then realising I don’t really have sufficient funds with which to purchase the vast quantities that I consume. Pleasey try the one with a creamy filling because it’s sooo delicious (but only if you like creamy things, obviously)

I picked up some Milka bars to review a few days ago – quite looking forward to them now!
Haven’t seen this particular variety available in this country yet – we are still limited to about 3 or 4.

Lottie – I certainly know what you mean about cheap chocolate never being quite the same once you’ve had better stuff. I tried a creamy one today, was that the one you were talking about?
Amanda – I think the only Milka bar I’ve seen here was an ordinary milk chocolate bar so consider yourself lucky you found that many. These were all imported from the Motherland.
James – Thanks very much, when your rush has finally slowed down a bit this is something you should definitely look into. I have lots of German chocolate to review over the next few weeks, and rest assure they have some great stuff.

actually “heisse liebe” means “hot love”

Hi Terry, I’ve not come across this range yet here in Winchester, have to take a look as it sounds interesting!
Just to help you along a bit on the German side of things:
The names 50er, 60er, 70er refer to the decades, as in 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Heiße Liebe (yep, Laura is right, it means ‘hot love’) as far as I know is a popular desert from the 60s, vanilla ice cream with hot raspberry sauce – as depicted on the package. Yum. Have to get this!!!
