The 'Milk Mania' package looks like this.

The elegant silver-toned packaging gives off a sense of luxury.

The raw materials used include sugar, skim milk powder, wheat flour, cocoa mass, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, milk flavored granules, and almonds.

The calories per stick (standard 24g) are 139kcal.

I took it out of the bag.

If you compare 'Milk Mania' (left) with the familiar 'Black Thunder' (right), it looks like this.

You can see that 'Milk Mania' is slightly smaller and lighter in color than regular Black Thunder. Also, while regular Black Thunder has a rugged cookie or biscuit shape, 'Milk Mania' has less unevenness and a smoother appearance.

A cross section of 'Milk Mania' looks like this. Almonds and biscuits are mixed into the whitish cookie dough.

When you actually try it, the rich aroma of milk spreads from the moment you take a bite, followed by the flavors of chocolate and almonds. The flavor of milk and butter is complemented by a solid sweetness, and the fragrant almonds give it a caramel-like taste. You can enjoy the rich milk flavor throughout, making this a chocolate bar that milk lovers will love.

The selling price of 'Milk Mania' is 75 yen including tax, and it will be available at convenience stores, supermarkets, drugstores, etc. nationwide from Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
