Milkybar Wowsomes, a new more expensive take on the 81-year-old white chocolate made famous by the gun-slinging Milkybar Kid ads, will be on shelves in Britain and Ireland in coming weeks. Unlike the original plain white Milkybar chocolate, Wowsomes have a chocolate shell around a creamy centre containing both the lighter sugar and crisped oat cereal. Nestle's business in the UK and Ireland has already taken out 10,400 tonnes of sugar from its portfolio since 2015. In 2016, Nestle said the product had the potential to reduce total sugar by up to 40 percent in confectionery. Milkybar Wowsomes have only a 30 percent reduction, partly because the chocolate shell utilizes regular sugar.
