MILKA HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE

 Milka is back; with a bit of a kick this time, hazelnuts! Nice! I love nuts, and most especially nut butters in general, but you might not be aware that I enjoy them most when they are intertwined with chocolate. You have the protein of the nut to regulate the sugar spike from the chocolate. It might not be a large amount of nuts, particularly in this chocolate, but anything counts. When I consume foods that have a sweetener of any sort, whether naturally occurring or man-made such as fructose for fruit, or sugar for chocolate, I mostly always like to incorporate a protein source of some kind to stabilize my sugar levels. This also applies to simple carbohydrates which are even worse on the GI scale than sugar itself. These carbs include foods such as white potatoes, white breads, cereals, cookies, muffins, you get the point! A perfect example of what I am trying to convey - bananas and almond butter = endless love, as they enhance each other’s benefits much better together than apart. Ahhhweheee, how sweet! Do not forget that even seeds count for an awesome source of protein such as hemp, flax, and chia. When it comes to the nut butter, you can go directly and purchase it from a grocery store, or if you want to have a little fun, make your own from any nut or seed you fancy. For instance, play around with almonds, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds to name a few. The varieties and combinations of taste and flavor in the nut butter department are immense.

Before I begin my review, I would like to point out that Milka lost some points due to a lousy ingredient list. It is not ideal to have sugar as your first ingredient or hazelnut paste instead of just adding more hazelnuts. Lastly, check out the artificial vanillin flavor, why not add the real “deal?” Anyhow, onto the tasting portion of my post, which also happens to be my favourite. At first bite, it is absolutely scrumptious. This Milka chocolate with the hazelnuts is truly a delight. I let the choco melt completely which by the way, is smooth and fabulous. Once the chocolate has liquefied, I am left solely with the taste of the hazelnuts. This also happens to conclude the last bite, and yes, it is a crunchy one! Milka has done it again, one fine piece of chocolate. I am left with wanting to devour yet another Milka bar, maybe two, okay fine, I will settle for three. This is a mighty delicious challenge! It seems as though, so far Milka has been nothing but a delectable confectionery. I would like to try a different flavor just to see if any of their chocolates disappoint. Back to the hunt but this time, for the “ugly” one!

    Affordable but still Savory

    This blog page is dedicated to inexpensive chocolates that are continuously, to this day, enjoyed daily by many chocolate lovers out there. I still happily delve my taste buds into a good old-fashioned, so tasty, and yet simple Mr. Goodbar. To top it off, the cost allows for a much "Sweeter" satisfaction on your fuller wallet!
