Milky Bar Mini Eggs - 100g White Chocolate

Over the last few years Nestle have been expanding their range of Milky Bar Easter eggs such as the perfectly decent Milky Bar Shaker Easter egg I reviewed earlier in 2009. But in the run up to Easter 2010 its the first time I've seen Milky Bar Mini Eggs

Obviously the normal milky bars are made out of very soft, crumbly white chocolate. These mini eggs aren't. They're not even as sweet as those bars. They've got a gorgeous crispy shell similar to Cadbury's Mini Eggs but with that white chocolate taste - and they're incredibly moreish with it.

I got 31 mini eggs in my packet and I'm sure everyone of you should have somewhere between 30 and 32 and for what £1 they're about 3p each which is fine. If you wanted to buy a box of 12 from Chocolate Buttons they'll set you back £10.65 or 89p which is outstanding value.

Rating:

Taste: 67% - I do like them, they're not "outstanding" but they are very nice. My only concern is that for them to be exceptional I'd have to have no doubts that I could eat a whole packet in one go.

Texture: 75% - a lovely crispy shell with soft white chocolate inside.

Appearance: 70% - they're not all that awe-inspiring to be honest and the reverse of the packaging is full of information but with any sales message

Packaging: 90% - there's hardly any waste in this sense.

Nutritional Information: 80% - there's loads on there including RDA for both children and adults. However, there could have been more such as the ingredients - which I thought were a legal requirement.
