Milkybar and Milo have teamed up to launch Milkybar Milo – a white chocolate treat with a crispy Milo twist.

Combining Milkybar with the malty flavour of Milo powder and balls, Nestlé says the new treat packs a nostalgic punch.

Nestlé head of marketing confectionary, Melanie Chen said the brand also saw success with its recent collaboration between KitKat and Milo.

“With the launch of KitKat MILO last year we wanted to launch another brand combination we could bring to Australians with Milkybar and Milo.

“When news of Milkybar Milo was announced, the anticipation from consumers has been extremely positive,” said Chen.

Milkybar Milo is available in supermarkets and convenience retailers across Australia in two different formats – MilkyBar MILO Block (160g, $5.50) and Milkybar MILO Bar (45g, $2.20).
