The Story Behind the Chocolate
Nestlé Milk Chocolate was made to compete with other well-known chocolate bars. One of its main competitors was the Hershey bar in North America. The Nestlé bar even looked similar to its rival.
Comparing Nestlé Chocolates
Nestlé makes several different kinds of chocolate. The Nestlé Crunch bar is quite similar to the old Nestlé Milk Chocolate. The main difference is that Nestlé Crunch has crispy puffed rice inside. The Nestlé Milk Chocolate bar did not have these crunchy bits.
Another chocolate bar made by Nestlé is the Yorkie. It is important not to confuse Yorkie with Nestlé Milk Chocolate. The Yorkie bar is a completely different product. It was first created by a British company called Rowntree of York. They made it to compete with another famous chocolate, Cadbury Dairy Milk.
Nestlé is a very large company. They produce many other types of chocolate and syrup products.
