Mars Milky Way Marshmallow with Caramel

DSC_9208rbMars has been teasing quite a few new candy items lately, the first one to hit store shelves will be their Milky Way Marshmallow with Caramel Bar. The press release says it delivers a magnificent combination of fluffy marshmallow nougat covered with a layer of smooth caramel, enrobed in creamy milk chocolate.

Limited Edition bar should hit shelves in July or August ... when they’re gone, they’re gone. (Though sometimes Mars will bring back a limited edition item.) The Impulsive Buy readers have already spotted them in the wild.

The bar looks good. The fluffy white nougat is definitely different from the normal Milky Way nougat. The scent is also a change from the traditional Milky Way, it’s less malty, less milky smelling. There’s a slight vanilla note to it, even before biting.

It’s a very sweet but clean tasting bar. There’s no lingering malty notes, not as much of a salty hint either. It tastes fresh. So if the concept of the Milky Way bar appealed to you, but the fact that the nougat was malty was holding you back, this might be the bar for you. Is it marshmallowy? No, the texture of the nougat is not smooth, not as fluffy as actual marshmallow. However, if you’re a vegetarian, the fact that it’s a nougat (made with egg whites) and not a marshmallow (made with gelatin) might be a selling point.

The bar contains soy, egg and milk and also may contain traces of peanuts. There’s no statement on gluten.

  1. I will have to keep an eye out for these, I really liked the French Vanilla Version I found on clearance at CVS! Can’t go wrong with a good bar for 298 cents smile

  3. Wow, sweet is an understatement here! I bought one yesterday and almost couldn’t finish the bar.  It also didn’t have quite enough of an actual marshmallow flavor.

    However, it was a million times better than the similar French Vanilla bar- which tasted like an old Easter basket.

    This would be great in a mini version.  I would buy a bag of them, but I’m not sure I will buy another regular sized bar.

  4. Oops, hit send to soon.  They would have had a homerun with this one if it was wrapped in dark chocolate.

  5. It’s a shame these are only a limited edition!  I am addicted to them and have only been able to find them in one store.  They are sweet and I’m kind of glad the marshmallow isn’t as marshmallowy as an Easter egg marshmallow.
