Kcal 114 Fat 7.4g Carbs 9.4gIve recently had a number of requests asking me to review some German products - seeing these going for 50p each on Ebay I couldnt turn it down.
I didnt have a vast knowledge of what these actually were until they turned up on my doorstep last week. Looking at the packaging I wasnt helped to much...it was all in German! A spot of internet research was needed....the Ferrero website informed that that these were 'chocolate sponge cake with a milky filling'...and they were exactly that - two thickish chocolate flavoured cakey slabs with a very healthy milk truffle like textured centre - all with an added dash of honey!!. The site also informed me that these needed to be kept in the fridge to keep them fresh..lucky I looked really!
As per instructed I stored these in the fridge - Each individual 'slice' only weighed 28g but in truth one was more than enough for a sufficent snack. I opened the package and immediately detected an extremely sweet sugary smell...it wasnt the most pleasant - I was expecting more of a milky aroma.
I split the slice into four triangular bits - this caused a slight out spill of the filling but this was only due to its plentiful nature. The slice proved quite fun but if a little messy to eat! my own method was biting off one of the sides of chocolate cake slice and then eating the whipped centre followed by the other cake half...as I said messy but fun!
Flavourwise this slice was delicous. The cocoa flavour wasnt the strongest in the sponge element and if made a little stronger could be a real winner. The 'slice' was made extremely tasty by the centre filling - its texture was smooth and truffle-like whilst its flavour was all types of creamy milky goodness with just a little extra sweet kick from the added honey - truly delicious. I would aliken the flavour of the centre to whipped cream - just that its texture was far more substanstial.
Overall this is a delicous snack/bar that I would very much recommend to any Kinder fans out there. I was expecting the worst initially opening the wrapper..it smelt overly sweet and cheap...that being said it tasted divine and combines two simple yet delicious elements of sponge and milk. I believe that these were once avalible in the UK!? Can anyone shed some light on this? Another tasty product from Kinder - for a simple light snack you could do little wrong choosing the Kinder Milk Slice.

I love the Kinder Milk Slice. It is a really famous snack in Germany and we are bale to buy it almost everywhere. Put in in the fridge before u eat it. So it is much better and a perfect snack for the hot days :)
I used to be able to buy these from my local supermarket about 6 or 7 years ago. Until they just disappeared. I always enjoyed them and found them very tasty.
Great blog by the way. :)
Franzi - these are absolutely gorgeous. I had another one today :D the last one in my batch though :( I stuck it in the freezer in actual fact and it was so so nice. Its just a shame it a)isnt a little bigger b) has a little more chocolate c)smells nicer!! What do you think Franzi?
Gemma - Hi there thanks for the compliment. I hope you keep returning and checking out the site daily as theres at least one a day! Regarding the Milk Slice it soooo needs bringing back to the UK dont you think?
In my opinion the Kinder milk slice should be a bit bigger. It is enough for little childs but not for us ;)
I am happy that I can buy them in every store. Hop they will bring it back to the UK soon :)
If Ferrero pull their fingers out and make a 'king sized' Milk Slice I am so there!!
I havent eaten more than one of any type of chocolate bar since I started doing Chocolate Mission (obviously because of the needs to review a new bar each day!!)...but I have had two Kinder Slices two days in a row!! Thats how much I liked them...im addicted.
Just a shame it feel away on the scoring system due to the issues I outlined above. Oh well a bloody great product that needs bringing back to the UK!
Franzi are their any slight variation of the Milk Slice avalible or is it just this one type?
Thanks
for your contribution

Hey Jim,
I am hapy to hear that u enjoy this german product so much. Well we just have thist one flavour of the milk slice but there is also something similar from nestle called Nesquik Snack. Do u know it? It is a bit like the kinder milk slice but with chocolate cream instead of the milk cream.
Franzi - no i wasnt aware that their was a Nesquik one out!? Do you have a picture/link to it! It sounds absolutely delicious!
Are these German manufactured aswell?
Well I am not sure if the nesquik snack is originally from german but u can buy it in a lot of countrys. Here is a picture of it :)

:)
Jim
Hey no problem. I am happy to be able to help u :)
Oh the Kinder Milk Slice definitely needs brought back to the UK. Absolutely definitely. I know quite a few people that remember it and would buy it again. :)
Maybe I should start my own shop for it *lol* So U would be able to buy it *haha*
Franzi - it does indeed appear that you will have to set up a shop for us! Shotgun first in line! :D :D :D
Jim
Yeah I think this would be really cool but I am always open for a private swap. So feel free to send me a message :)
I might well take you up on that Franzi! Would be intresting to get my hands on some authentic German products. Are there any you specially reccomend that we dont get in the UK?
Well we have a lot of stuff that might be not able to find in the UK or u have to pay a lot money for it. The most famous trades in Germany are Alpina,Lindt,Sarotti,Milka,Ritter Sport. Do u think about any special product that u would like to try? We also have stuff like Knoppers,Hanuta and of course Kinder chocolate. Maybe u will find some more informations in the net so feel free to ask if u find something that u want :)
Franzi - I will have a look on the net tonight and write up a list of stuff. Im sure we can sort out a swap some sorts in the near future!
Jim
Yeah that would be really cool.
Just write down what u would like to try and i am always open for questions about german products :)
Franzi/Jim - The Nesquik Snack is surely available in the UK. I remember having 1 not more than 1 year ago as they were bought for my sister. Not sure which shop though.
I remember having Kinder Milk slices years ago, and I can still remember the taste they are that good. And they are way better from the fridge or freezer. Milk Slices are in a world of their own, and whoever invented the recipe got it spot on.
Lewis Well matey I cant say I have ever seen the Nesquick slice to buy in the UK! only ever on the internet! If you do ever manage to track one down please let me know im simply desperate to try it.
The Kinder Slice was/is a pretty aweome product! Very tasty and vey moreish! I remember I only imported two of these when I reviewed them! I instantly wanted more afterwards! I think the score is pretty spot on to be honest! Great tasting but lacking in its smell and hunger fufilment credentials! As you said absolutely mint when enjoyed from the freezer! God damn I want one now :)
Thanks for the input bud! If you ever track down a Nesquick slice be sure to let me know where!
Cheers
Jim
you can buy them in most shopd in jersey ( the channel islands)
