Milkybar and MILO are collaborating on a new treat called the 'Milkybar MILO.' The new treat comes packaged in a vibrant cream and green wrapper with Milkybar and MILO co-branding on the front. The 'Milkybar MILO' is made with crispy malt MILO powder balls and Milkybar's smooth chocolate and will be sold primarily in Australia in two different formats.
"We saw huge success with the launch of KitKat MILO last year and knew that we had another iconic combination we could bring to Australians with Milkybar MILO. The creamy, malty combination of these two power brands is so delicious," said Nestle head of marketing confectionery, Melanie Chen.
'Milkybar MILO' arrives in early August at select Australian supermarkets and convenience stores.
