Milka have a good range of chocolate products available and one of the more popular ranges has been their selection of 100g chocolate bars. With the Milka Alpine Milk 100g variety, made with alpine milk and chocolate, being one of the better known bars. Having tried and liked those, I was surprised and very pleased to see that Milka also had a 'Dime' bar variety.

************************************************* ********
Well it used to be called Dime, now its called Daim, no idea why and maybe some one can enlighten me. Perhaps the name change is easier to say, when reading it as Daim, but I digress.

The 100g Milka Daim Chocolate Bar looked very interesting indeed and was just begging to be purchased. Reluctantly....sort of, kind of, ok rather keenly, a Milka Daim bar or two made its way into the hand basket I had with me, then threw itself onto the conveyor belt and shouted at me to pay the nice checkout assistant. At the time the bars were 98p per bar, regardless of variety, but since then I have seem then sneakily sitting about on supermarket shelves for half that, at just 49p.

The Milka Daim bar differs from the original Daim bar, as instead of being one big crunchy Daim filled mass, it contains lovely little crunchy pieces of the almond caramel. In fact 20% of the bar is made up with these addictive little Daim pieces and then encased in glorious creamy alpine milk chocolate.

The bars do also contain nuts, so will not suit any one with a nut allergy .
A mix of sugar, cocoa butter and cocoa mass, are blended with vegetable oils, milk fat and butter. Almonds and hazelnut paste are also added along with sweetened condensed skimmed milk and even a hint of salt, for that moorish salty after taste. Milka says that their chocolate contains at least 30% cocoa solids as a minimum and milk solids at 18% minimum.

The crunchyness of the Daim bars' almond caramel pieces, combined with the creamy light Milka chocolate is a real winner. The salty after taste once you have crunched away on the Daim pieces is so good that you just have to munch away on another square of chocolate. Its not your fault, its theirs, they make you do it.

For those of you that want to try some of the other chocolate bars in the range, why not check out the yummy Milka Alpine Milk Caramel (double filled) 100g bar with its scrumptious caramel flavoured filling. Or how about a bite of the Milk chocolate with Alpine milk variety, which is filled with a 50% cream flavour filling.

I recently noticed that they do a Milka Happy Cows 100g bar which is an alpine milk bar covered with splashes of creamy white chocolate, not to mention the Milka Hazlenut bar. Which ever bar you choose is up to you, but I can say that the Daim bar is smashing. So much choice, so many calories. Oh dear Milka, you are such a naughty lot.
