Milka Marzipan-Créme Bar
If there’s one thing German and Austrian people love, it’s marzipan. Niederegger are the obvious forerunners of that flavour but it’s not stopped Ritter and Milka from having a go, and I’ve finally got round to having Milka’s own take on marzipan and chocolate.
The marzipan cream filling takes up 35% of the bar, a hefty amount, and there’s also a 10% cocoa cream filling. It’s not within milk chocolate this time though, no no, it’s instead encased within dark chocolate, I guess to combat the sweetness of the marzipan and the cocoa cream.
The bar tastes as you’d imagine. If you’ve ever had marzipan before then you know how it is. Made with almonds and sugar, it’s nutty, sweet and all round delicious. I actually preferred this over Ritter’s bar, how controversial.

Hi, I am an U.S. citizen living in Germany and I have a question about chocolate bars here.
I don’t eat chocolate on a regular basis, I like it but I don’t eat it on a regular basis.
I don’t have the same snack routine I had before so I probably snack on chocolate more than I used to.
My question is that when I eat chocolate I get this flavor that I am not sure I can describe correctly. I think of it as an airy taste. It is some kind of aftertaste. I don’t think it could that I taste it sweeter, I would not think so since I have heard that American chocalate has more sugar. I seem to notice it more in Mars bars. I think I notice it in Milka, Kinder and yesterday I had an ice cream bar. What we call a Klondike bar, a chocolate shell.
Here and in the U.S. I was probably a dark chocolate guy.
thanks for any comments
