Contacted the company and they say it is impossible to make a Valomilk and not to have marshmallow inside. Well then I guess they did the impossible. The company has pretty much called me a liar and said it must have leaked out and was in the wrapper. Perfect looking chocolate cup that was empty and a perfectly clean wrapper. And may I say these are quite pricey and not all that good. And then for the company to not stand behind their product…

Just purchased these and one of the cups was empty. No marshmallow, just air.

I LOVE Valomilks! I remember eating them in high school over thirty years ago. When my husband asked me what I wanted for Valentines Day I asked for a dozen Valomilks.
He surprised me by finding them (and by giving me a dozen roses,too). I have tried the Mallo Cup, and there is no comparison. Valomilks are the best. Just wish they weren’t so hard to find.

I learned about Valomilks a couple of years ago, and I LOVE them. They are very sweet, I can’t eat both cups at once. I have never had a Mallo Cup, so I couldn’t compare them. My local “mom and pop” grocery store carries them, they keep them right on the check out counter where they are hard to resist.

I too first heard about these when I read candyfreak. The closest I got to trying these was finding some very stale ones at a gas station in oklahoma city. Regardless, I am still on a quest to try them fresh!

Hi, All:

Didn’t mean to dismiss Mallo Cups. I like those, too. But there’s something about Valomilk. Delicious. By the way, I purchased the Valomilk candies for this review from Sweet Nostalgia in Geneva, Ill., the same store Stephan above references.

Thanks for all the comments,
Dan

We make our VALOMILK Candy Cups with the finest all natural ingredients and use my grandfather’s original 1931 recipe. We make them one little batch at a time and ship them fresh each day. I hope you will enjoy the experience of our VALOMILK Candy Cups and tell your friends.

Sincerely,

Russ Sifers

After reading “Candyfreak” a few years ago, I absolutely had to try Valomilks, and found them at a great retro candy store (Sweet Nostalgia) in Geneva, IL. The chocolate is incredibly smooth and the filling has a wonderful vanilla flavor. I avoid the “mess factor” by carefully prying off the top and licking out the middle. :)

I love them both actually. Valomilks have a great texture and flavor. I also love Mallo Cups, and I agree with Heather that its because of the coconut. I’m also partial, my grandfather was Bill Boyer who invented Mallo Cups.

I like Valomilk okay, but not well enough to pay the $1.69 that Cracker Barrel charges for one little package. At the gas station nearest to my house, I can get a pack of Mallo Cups for less than half that price. I actually prefer Mallo Cups anyway. The added coconut gives the choclate some texture and a good flavor. I also like the fact that the creme filling is a little more solid, but then again, Cadbury Eggs are pretty much my favorite candy so I suppose that’s no surprise. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on this candy. To each his own! ;)
