The MilkyWay Biscuits have been unveiled by Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats (MCD&T) as one of its latest products that is poised to offer consumers a new take on a classic treat option. The biscuits feature a vanilla-flavored biscuit that has been dipped in chocolate on one side to give them a flavor profile. Each of the cookies are paired with one of four outer space-inspired embossments that give them a fun, cheery disposition for children to enjoy and correlate to the product's celestial name.
General Manager at MCD&T Michelle Frost spoke on the new MilkyWay Biscuits saying, "Sales of MilkyWay confectionery grew by nine per cent last year, and we are confident that a combination of the brand strength, competitive price point and fun format will create some real excitement and attract new consumers to the biscuits aisle.”
