About this product
Two chocolates in one bar: creamy Milka Alpine milk chocolate with playful white chocolate spots that look like the coat of a dairy cow.
Milka Happy Cow is a milk chocolate tablet with patches of white chocolate set right into the surface, so every square shows a different spot. In Germany the same bar sits on store shelves as Milka Kuhflecken, which simply means "cow spots."
The base is Milka's classic Alpine milk chocolate, made with 100% Alpine milk. The white chocolate makes up about 16% of the bar and adds a softer, vanilla-like sweetness. A little hazelnut paste in the recipe rounds out the flavor.
It is made in Germany by Mondelez International, the company behind the Milka brand. Malincho sells it in the USA as an independent retailer.
Taste and serving ideas
How it tastes
Expect the gentle, milky sweetness Milka is known for, with a smooth melt and no bitterness. The white chocolate spots are creamier and slightly sweeter than the surrounding milk chocolate, so a single square tastes a little different depending on where you break it.
Ways to enjoy it
Kids love finding the spots, which makes it a favorite for lunchboxes, Easter baskets and birthday treat bags. It also works as a quick dessert next to coffee or a glass of cold milk.
For baking, chop it into cookie dough or melt it over pancakes. The two colors stay visible when only partly melted.
Why Milka chocolate is different
Milka started in Switzerland in 1901, and its name comes from the German words for milk (Milch) and cocoa (Kakao). The purple wrapper and the lilac cow have been part of the brand for more than a century.
Milka sources its cocoa through Cocoa Life, Mondelez's program that works with cocoa-farming communities.

How many calories are in a serving?
