Well I have finally worked my way through the huge parcel of goodies sent to me by American goods specialists Yankee Pop and last but not least is these Hershey's Milk Duds. I've never tried these before but I do know that they are very popular.
A 52g box is available from Yankee Pop for 99p and contains 230 calories and are apparently 35% less fat than the averse of the leading chocolate candy brands...whatever that means.
Mild Duds are basically chewy caramel, more like toffee, coated in chocolate. They are around the size of a Galaxy Minstrel but a bit fatter and more irregular in shape.
According to Wikipedia they get their odd name because the "milk" refers to the large amounts of milk in the product and the "duds" is because they failed to make a perfectly round piece.
I have said before that I am not a huge fan of Hershey's chocolate, especially the oily kind that they have used on the Milk Duds. The thing is a Hershey's bar can still be good despite the chocolate if the filling is awesome (5th Avenue for example) but sadly the caramel is somewhat lacking and just a bit boring.
Verdict
Milk Duds are OK, they weren't horrible but they are just a bit bland so I can only give them an average rating. However Mr Review Addict loved them and happily polished of the rest of the box!
A big thank you to Yankee Pop for all of the lovely things that they sent me for review! You can buy American sweets online from Yankee Pop's website. They also have a Facebook page and you can follow them on Twitter.
