White Knight (chocolate bar)

White Knight is a popular chocolate bar produced by Nestlé. It is a chewy, mint-flavored confectionery covered in a layer of milk chocolate. The White Knight has been a staple in Australian confectionery since its introduction in 1963.

History

The White Knight was first produced in 1963 by Hoadley's Chocolates, a confectionery company based in Melbourne, Australia. In 1972, Hoadley's was acquired by Rowntree's, a British confectionery company, which was subsequently taken over by Nestlé in 1988. Despite these changes in ownership, the White Knight has remained a beloved chocolate bar in Australia.

Description

The White Knight is a long, thin chocolate bar, measuring approximately 12 cm in length. It is composed of a chewy, mint-flavored center that is coated in a layer of milk chocolate. The mint center is made from a mixture of sugar, glucose syrup, and peppermint oil, while the chocolate coating is made from a blend of milk, cocoa butter, and cocoa solids.

Popularity

The White Knight is particularly popular in Australia, where it is considered a classic chocolate bar. Its unique combination of chewy mint and milk chocolate has earned it a loyal following. Despite its popularity, the White Knight is not widely available outside of Australia.
