Alright, let’s talk about them Milky Way candy fixin’s. You know, the stuff they put in them candy bars.
First off, they got that milk chocolate. That’s the sweet stuff on the outside, you know? Made with sugar, cocoa butter, skim milk… all that fancy stuff. I ain’t got no clue what half of it is, but it tastes good, that’s for sure.
Then there’s the corn syrup and sugar. Makes it real sweet, you know? Too much sweetness if you ask me, but the young’uns love it. And palm oil, whatever that is. Probably keeps it all stuck together or somethin’.
- Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Skim Milk, Chocolate, Lactose, Milkfat, Soy Lecithin)
- Corn Syrup
- Sugar
- Palm Oil
- Skim Milk
They also put in a little bit of other things, like milkfat and cocoa powder. And somethin’ called barley malt extract. Sounds like somethin’ you’d give to a cow, but hey, if it makes the candy taste good, I ain’t complainin’.
And get this, they put egg whites in it! Can you believe that? Eggs in a candy bar. Who woulda thunk it? I guess that’s what makes it all fluffy and chewy inside.
They also say it’s got artificial flavor. Now, I don’t like that artificial stuff. Give me the real thing any day. But I guess they gotta do what they gotta do to make it taste right, or maybe make it cheaper, who knows.
Oh, and they say it’s got milk, egg, and soy in it. So if you’re allergic to that stuff, you better stay away. And it might have peanuts too, so watch out for that.
Now, some folks say this Milky Way candy is made like them old-timey malted milk shakes. You know, the kind they used to drink back in the day? I don’t know nothin’ about that, but it sounds fancy. They say it’s got somethin’ called nougat inside. I ain’t ever had no fancy nougat on its own but if it’s that chewy stuff in the middle, then it’s alright by me. It’s real chewy and sweet.
And they call it Milky Way, like them stars up in the sky. I don’t see no stars when I eat it, just chocolate and sugar, but I guess it’s a catchy name. Makes you think it’s somethin’ special.
I heard some folks say you gotta watch out for them partially hydrogenated oils and fats in candy. I don’t know what that is, but it don’t sound good. They say it can be bad for your heart or somethin’. So maybe don’t eat too many of these Milky Way bars, you hear? Just a little bit now and then is alright, but don’t go overdoin’ it.
Anyways, that’s the lowdown on what’s in them Milky Way candies. A whole lotta sugar, some chocolate, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t even pronounce. But hey, it tastes good, and that’s all that matters, right? Just don’t eat too many, or you’ll get a bellyache, sure as I’m sittin’ here.
They got all sorts of Milky Way candies now, too. Big ones, little ones, ones with caramel. I don’t know about all that fancy stuff. The regular one is good enough for me. It’s the one I always get for the grandkids, though they like the ones with more caramel these days. Kids these days, always wantin’ somethin’ extra.
So there you have it. Everything you ever wanted to know about Milky Way candy fixin’s, and probably a whole lot more you didn’t care about. But that’s how it is, ain’t it? You ask a simple question, and you get a whole earful.
