Milky Way Magic Stars Popping Candy - Dairy Free (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Everyday is a school day, so for those that didn’t know, Tiger Nuts are a tuber plant like potatoes. Why am I telling you this? Well, it was on the back of the packet of this Milky Way Magic Stars Popping Candy Dairy Free chocolate bar. The dairy substitute in the bar, if you hadn’t already guessed, is Tiger Nuts. I don’t know my way around milk substitutes very well, but they are usually things like almond, so this is something a bit different.

I unwrapped the bar and, although it was clearly milk chocolate, it did look a little darker than you would expect. The chocolate is nicely moulded with stars in the design. I broke a piece off and you see some specs which must be the popping candy.

I gave it the taste test and have to say I was impressed. It isn’t as creamy as the standard Magic Stars, but it is still creamy, and the flavour of the cocoa comes through nicely. The popping candy is fun and crackles away in the mouth. Here is hoping I never get too old to smile at popping candy. This was a fun and enjoyable bar made with an unexpected dairy substitute that still made a creamy chocolate. I would buy this again even though I don’t actively avoid dairy.
