Salted Caramel Milky Ways Are Launching in Time for Halloween
Grace Mahas — August 30, 2019 — Lifestyle
With Halloween just around the corner, many brands have launched new and delicious candies, including the Salted Caramel Milky Way bars. The bar is made with a blend of milk chocolate, nougat, though, and salt alongside the caramel.
The new chocolate bar is sure to dazzle your taste buds and have you craving more. According to a recent study, this is due to the bar's salted caramel that's set to activate our "hedonic escalation" which is “the increased liking of each additional bite of palatable food.”
Consumers can buy the mouthwatering Salted Caramel Milky Way bars in a 3.16-ounce 'Share Size' at retailers. The brand announced the bars will be available nationwide in single sizes (1.56 ounces) and in Fun Size six-pack (3.38 ounces) in January of 2020.
