The Recent History of Brach’s Fiesta Malted Milk EggsI’m a big fan of Malted Milk Balls and consider the candy coated Pastel Malted Milk Egg to be one of the best holiday candy creations ever. Brach’s has been making a pastel egg for at least 55 years, and malted milk balls for even longer. Though the Brach’s brand has been around for over 110 years, they’ve changed ownership, leadership and product focus dozens of times. This means that the products themselves also change. The changes can be for consumer-driven reasons, supply issues and costs. I’ve noticed, since Candy Blog is coming up on 10 years, that the Brach’s Fiesta Eggs have changed quite a bit over the years, and have some photos and notes to document it. Name: Pastel Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs Though this was my first year reviewing them, it wasn’t the first time I had them and thought they used to be better. Name: Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs I’d say that this was a lackluster version, though I liked the center, the chocolate brought the whole thing down. Name: Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs These were simply too difficult to eat because of the size and shell. The center was good, especially because the ratio was so high. 2015 Malted Milk Eggs Compared Name: Malted Milk Pastel Fiesta Eggs The center this year is different. It’s darker in color, which does indicate that the recipe or manufacturing process has changed. The colors are great, I like the shell, though many commenters do not like the new version. I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong here, except that I don’t plan on buying them again, but I’ll finish the bags I have. Related Candies
