Milka
and its famous purple cow, recently purchased by Kraft, is an eastern European
chocolate originally produced in Switzerland and is available in Germany, Austria,
Hungary and other nearby countries.
Distribution
is still weak in the United States.
Usually,
then, it is found only in international grocery stores. It has been around 100
years. Whether or not Kraft will change the recipe has yet to be seen. For now,
the texture and taste are better than Hershey's and Nestle. It is a smoother,
creamier basic chocolate, although they also make varieties which include yogurt,
nuts and a version with Oreo Cookies.
Unfortunately,
as of this writing, Kraft is also owned by tobacco giant, Altria, which makes
Philip Morris brand cigarettes. It is hard to believe something as delicious and
kid-friendly as Milka and Macaroni and Cheese is produced by the same people who
make Marlboro. That allegiance takes a five star product down at least a star.
The
chocolate is great, but know where to money goes.
