This is the only candy bar I really eat anymore. Every other nut/nougat/peanut butter filled bar a I just can’t stomach in my older years. The midnight bar has just the perfect taste to it. Don’t know what the orange you were tasting was, never had any fruity taste in my bars.

I think they are the best regular candy bar on the market! I just wish they were easier to find!

Hey, I’m not sure how recent you get on this site!! I just recently started getting Milkyway midnights and I hate dark chocolate but the vanilla nougat blends in really well. Anyway, candy bars can go bad they usually have an expiration date on them that most people dont see b/c it blends in with the wrapper. I also like rollos and let me just say if you get those and it’s bad you can tell. It has a nasty after taste and a fruity flavor to them, not a good combo. Have you tried a differemt bar recently?

Ok, my peeps: I’m bowing to the greater wisdom here. I’m going to try another one and see what happens. My experience was SO different from the consensus that I’m wondering if somehow the candy bar went bad (I didn’t know that they could do that). I usually love dark chocolate so I’m willing to give it another shot. I’ll try a different store, too, just to be on the safe side. When I try my new bar, I’ll let you guys know what happened. Thanks so much for the comments!

As others have noted, this candy bar isn’t new at all. I’ve been eating them for years. I can see how you would mistake it as a new candy though since they are just now really being advertised. They still aren’t what I call readily available. While it’s not my favorite candy bar, it’s definitely one I through into the mix every now and then. I’m not even a big dark chocolate fan, but in this case, it just works. (It’s all about the vanilla nougat!) I think it’s quite possibly on of the richest candy bars on the market. I agree with some of the other comments about you having a bad bar since I’ve never tasted any fruity undertones whatsoever.

You definitely had a bad candy bar or something because Milky Way Midnight is definitely a way better tasting candy bar (And without ANY orange flavor) than you let on.

As soon as you said “orange” was what you tasted, I knew something was wrong.

The original Milky Way is a bit too sweet for me, but the Midnights almost kinda taste like good Chocolate ice cream… It’s weird to describe but the whole thing mends so much better with Dark Chocolate than Milk Chocolate (And I”m a die-hard Milk Chocolate lover)…

Cadence, I really feel like you need to go buy another one (From a different store perhaps) and give it another shot because your review really sounds much different from the candy bar that I’ve had multiple times.

I’ve eaten many a Milky Way Midnight in my day and I must say that I’ve never had the ‘orange experience’ either. Sounds like you must have eaten a funky one. Give it another chance!!!

I always eat the minis, which might explain the taste difference with the orange because of different chocolate to nougat ratio. I also think it has a lot to do with the malt in these and the lower grade dark chocolate that coats it mixing in an odd way. I recommend you try a Mars bar if you can find it. It’s almost the same premise, but vastly superior as a British bar with real sugar. Welcome to the staff!

This is not a new candy bar; been around for quite a while and I love ‘em. Maybe you got a bad one, because I’ve never eaten one that tasted like “orange flavor.”

Probably one of the best candy bars on the market IMO. I think you need to try this one again.
