About Mini milky way
Mini Milky Way is a bite-sized chocolate candy bar originating from the United States, first introduced by the Mars Company in 1923. It features a core of nougat and caramel, enrobed in milk chocolate. This snack is widely enjoyed in Western cuisine, especially as a quick treat or during festive occasions. A 21-gram serving contains approximately 93 calories, 3.6 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbohydrates, and 9.9 grams of sugar, with nominal protein content. It offers small amounts of calcium and iron but is predominantly a source of quick energy derived from simple sugars and fats, making it more of an indulgence than a health-focused food.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrate and sugar content, useful for short-term athletic performance or blood sugar dips.
- Contains small amounts of calcium (about 2% of the daily value) from the milk chocolate, contributing modestly to bone health.
- Includes trace iron (around 2% of the daily value) which supports oxygen transport in the blood, though not sufficient as a primary iron source.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Mini Milky Way in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or quality degradation. Best consumed before the expiration date for optimal taste.
