About Milky way minis
Milky Way Minis are bite-sized, caramel-filled chocolate bars originating from the Milky Way brand introduced in the U.S. in 1923. These treats consist of a nougat base topped with caramel and enrobed in milk chocolate, making them popular in Western confectionery cuisine. One mini serves as a quick energy source due to its high sugar content, with approximately 40-50 calories per piece. Milky Way Minis contain carbohydrates, fats, and small amounts of protein, but are deficient in essential vitamins and minerals, thus best enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to high carbohydrate content (approximately 6-7g per piece).
- Contains trace amounts of calcium from milk-based ingredients which contribute to bone health.
- Small quantities of cocoa may provide modest levels of antioxidants like flavonoids.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or spoilage; avoid direct sunlight or high humidity.
