When in Woolworts yesterday I picked up Nestle Milkybar Balls. They are a honeycomb like biscuit centre covered in Milkybar choc.
And 2 other Nestle products in silver bags. They are both like Milkybay Munchies, one is a raspberry yogurt flavour and the other is a coconut wafer flavour.

Are the sales for white choc increasing or something? In comparison
Cadbury's only had one new white choccy product last year, Strawberry
Dream.

chocolate isn't quite as highly regarded as Cadbury's is but their
white chocolate is.

They seem to just know what they are doing with white chocolate.
The Nestle Balls I was talking about in the first post are called Nestle Bites.

Plus Milkybar is a very strong brand name to build on - which is probably why it took Cadbury so long to launch a white chocolate bar.
Damn - that has made me crave a bar of Dream!

Milkybar Bites and is "a panned Milkybar product with a light cereal
centre with a hint of honey". Oddly they said that one of their other
new products is Milkybar biscuits...perhaps it's the new strawberry
variety.

I've seen those Milkybar Bites around along with the ice cool mint Yorkie (that says it's "Too cool for girls") and Nestle's X-ploding Smarties Bar (which claims to be "bursting with mini Smarties and popping candy").
Didn't buy the Milkybar Bites, but I got the other two.

Oo where did you see these sillyank, they sound yummy!
Haven't tried the milkyway bits yet. I will soon and let you know how they taste

Mint Yorkie? Hadn't heard about that one!
The raspberry/strawberry Milkybar thingies sound good, but I wouldn't eat the coconut ones if you paid me

the lemon cheescake bar and the coconut wafer bites. Both were
disappointing. The coconut wafers were just light puffed up coconut
wafers coeverd in white choc and the cheescake bar was a digestive base
with some tasteless hard cream on top that tasted slightly of
lemon.
