A simple, joyful treat

Launched in 1936, Milkybar has been popular in the UK and Ireland for generations. In fact, Milkybar is the UK's No.1 white chocolate brand. It's a firm favorite in Continental Europe and Latin America too, where it's known as Galak.

The goodness of real milk takes center stage in this smooth white chocolate. And you won't find any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Milkybar's natural ingredients and famously creamy texture make it the chocolate of choice for families around the world.

The discovery of white chocolate: Milkybar is born

The staff in the Nestlé kitchen add cocoa butter to a batch of Nestrovit - a vitamin-enriched condensed milk for children. Their aim was to make a solid tablet form of the milk. Instead, they invented white chocolate.

Nestlé realizes it can make non-medicinal versions of Nestrovit. And so, Milkybar is born.
