Common questions are answered in the detailed Q and A tab below. ## Description Blue Riband Milk Chocolate Hazelnut is the flavoured build of the wafer bar, six bars in a one hundred and eight gram multipack, which is eighteen grams a bar. The product name does the useful work here: milk chocolate and hazelnut are both named on it, which tells you two things the plain Original does not tell you, and one of them matters a great deal to some households. The first is that this bar contains milk, because milk chocolate does. The second is that it names a nut. Anybody buying biscuits for a school bag, a shared office tin or a household with a nut allergy should treat that as the headline rather than a footnote, and read the allergen panel on the current pack properly before the pack goes anywhere near a lunchbox. Everything else about the product, the layers, the portion and the way it behaves beside a cup, follows the same logic as the plain bar. The Taste Profile Milk chocolate: ●●●●○ (4/5) Named on the pack, so it is a fact rather than an inference. Sweet, soft and doing most of the flavour work. Hazelnut: ●●●●○ (4/5) The difference from the Original, and the reason to read the allergen panel before buying. Wafer layers: ●●●○○ (3/5) Still structure rather than flavour, and still the thing that decides whether the bar snaps. Sweetness: ●●●●● (5/5) Higher than the plain bar, because milk chocolate adds sugar on top of a sweet wafer build. Teas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.5 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk The Story Behind Blue Riband The Blue Riband is a long-standing British wafer bar, and it is a lunchbox product before it is a biscuit-tin one. The hazelnut version is a line extension of exactly the kind that keeps an established bar visible: same bar weight, same count, same shelf position, with two named additions doing the work of making it a different purchase. Milk chocolate and hazelnut is one of the oldest pairings in confectionery and it works for a straightforward reason. Hazelnut carries a roasted, slightly bitter, oily note that milk chocolate does not have anywhere in it, so the two together give a bar something a plain sweet build lacks. In a wafer product that matters more than usual, because wafer contributes almost nothing of its own and whatever is added has to carry the whole thing. What we do have is the product name, which names milk chocolate and hazelnut, and we treat that as reliable because it is the manufacturer's own description. Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes. What You Are Actually Buying Count and weight: six bars, one hundred and eight grams in the pack, so eighteen grams each. It names a nut: hazelnut is in the product name, so this pack is not suitable for anyone avoiding nuts, and it is worth thinking about before it goes into a shared lunchbox or an office tin. It contains milk: milk chocolate contains milk, so this is not a vegan or dairy-free bar. That much follows from the name; the rest of the allergen picture is on the pack. Separately packed: which is what multipack means. The outer can be opened without the remaining bars going stale, and one bar travels intact. Contains gluten: it is a wheat wafer and is not suitable for a coeliac diet. What it is not: not a subtle bar, not a sharing biscuit and not a dunker. It is a sealed eighteen-gram portion with two named flavours doing the work. How Does Blue Riband Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g Compare to: Blue Riband Original Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g: the plain build of the same bar at the same weight and count. The Original names no nut and no coating, which makes it the safer pack for a shared tin and the plainer eat. This one has more going on and a clearer allergen position, in both directions. Loacker Classic Double Chocolate Wafers, 90g: the other chocolate wafer in this group, sold loose rather than as sealed bars. The Loacker is the better wafer and the worse lunchbox item; this is the reverse. Tunnocks Milk Chocolate Caramel Wafer Biscuits Multipack, 240g: eight thirty-gram wafers, with caramel instead of hazelnut. A bigger unit, and sweeter still, because caramel brings no bitterness where a roasted nut does. Ideal Serving Conditions Milk chocolate makes this bar more temperature-sensitive than the plain version, not less. Chocolate softens well below the temperature at which a wafer does, so a warm pack gives you a bar that bends, marks the wrapper and takes on a pale bloom on the surface once it re-sets. Everything below follows from keeping it cool. The Lunchbox Serve Check the allergen position first: this bar names a nut. In a shared lunchbox, a school with a nut policy or an office tin, that is the first question rather than the last. Keep it out of the sun: milk chocolate softens at a lower temperature than wafer does, so this version suffers in a warm bag faster than the plain one. One is a portion: eighteen grams, sealed, and the format is asking you to stop there. Open it fully: a half-opened chocolate-covered bar in a warm room is how chocolate ends up on your fingers. The Tea-Break Serve Alongside, not in: a wafer bar takes on liquid all at once and collapses. Eat it beside the cup. Black and unsweetened: the roasted note from the hazelnut helps, but it is not enough on its own. Strong tea or black coffee supplies the rest. Cool it first: a bar from a cool cupboard snaps properly and releases the chocolate progressively rather than all at once. Avoid hot chocolate: milk chocolate against a chocolate drink is the one pairing to leave alone here, because there is nothing left to balance anything. Getting It Right with a Hot Drink Pairing: black coffee first, strong unsweetened tea second. The roasted hazelnut note sits particularly well against coffee. Avoid: hot chocolate and sweetened lattes, which double the sugar and cancel the only savoury note the bar has. Dunking: no. A wafer has no crumb to wick liquid evenly, and a chocolate coating traps the wafer between a warm outside and a wet inside. Storage: cool, dry and sealed. Chocolate that has warmed and re-set shows a pale bloom on the surface, which is harmless and permanent. Best with: a lunchbox where nuts are not an issue, a work drawer, a long drive, or a black coffee at the end of a meal. Safety And Purity Contains nuts: hazelnut is named in the product name. Ingredients and dietary suitability: Per the published ingredient list for this barcode it contains wheat (gluten), milk and nuts (hazelnuts), and it may contain peanuts and soya. Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change. No health claim: sugar content and nutrition figures are matters for the current UK pack. Child safety: keep out of reach of small children. Note that this product names a nut, and that whole and broken nuts are a choking risk for very younger children regardless of the allergen question. ## Product Questions How many bars are in the pack?Six bars in a 108g multipack, so eighteen grams each, worked out from the stated count and weight rather than a pack figure. What is different from the plain Original?Two named additions: milk chocolate and hazelnut. Same bar weight and same count. The Original names neither a coating nor a nut, which makes it the plainer eat and the safer pack for a shared tin. Can I dunk it?No. A wafer has no crumb to wick liquid evenly, so it takes on water all at once and collapses, and a chocolate coating traps the wafer between a warm outside and a wet inside. Eat it beside the cup. What should I drink with it?Black coffee first. The roasted note from the hazelnut sits particularly well against coffee, and coffee supplies the bitterness the rest of the bar does not have. Strong unsweetened tea second. Hot chocolate is the one to leave alone. Why has the chocolate gone pale?It has warmed and re-set. That pale surface is chocolate bloom, it is harmless and permanent, and it is a sign the pack has been somewhere too warm. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard and out of direct sunlight. Are the bars wrapped separately?It is sold as a multipack of six, which is what a multipack means: the units are packed separately, so opening the outer does not start a clock on the rest. Confirm the exact wrapping on the pack if it matters for a lunchbox. Is it very sweet?Yes, and sweeter than the plain bar, because milk chocolate adds sugar on top of an already sweet wafer build. The roasted hazelnut note is the only thing in the product pushing back, which is why an unsweetened drink alongside makes a real difference. Which of the two Blue Ribands should I buy?Same weight, same count. Buy this one if you want more going on in the bar and nuts are not an issue in your house. Buy the Original if you want the plain build, or if the pack is going anywhere a named nut would be a problem. ## Ingredients & Nutrition Ingredients and allergens.

Blue Riband Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g is the flavoured build of a long-standing British wafer bar, sold alongside the plain Original at the same weight and count. Milk chocolate and hazelnut is one of the oldest pairings in confectionery, and it works because hazelnut carries a roasted, slightly bitter, oily note that milk chocolate has nowhere in it. In a wafer product that matters more than usual, because the wafer contributes almost nothing of its own.What's in Blue Riband Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g, and what isn't: In: six separately packed wafer biscuit bars at eighteen grams each, with milk chocolate and hazelnut both named on the pack. Contains milk: milk chocolate contains milk. This is not a vegan or dairy-free product. Contains gluten: it is a wheat wafer and is not suitable for a coeliac diet. ## Flavour Science The flavour of Blue Riband Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the bar tastes the way it does from the first bite to the last swallow.The outer layer is the milk chocolate, and it arrives first because it is the surface your tongue meets. It is soft, sweet and fat-led, and on a wafer bar it is carrying far more of the product than a coating usually does, because the layers underneath contribute almost nothing. It is also the part that decides how the bar behaves on the day: chocolate softens well below the temperature at which wafer does, so the outside of this bar is always the first thing to go wrong in a warm room.The flavour spike is the hazelnut, and it is the whole reason this version exists. A roasted nut carries an oily, faintly bitter note that milk chocolate does not have anywhere in it, and it lands in the middle of the bite, after the sweetness has registered and before the layers have finished collapsing. That is a genuine second act, and it is exactly what the plain Original lacks. It is also why this bar takes a black coffee better: the roasted note in the cup and the roasted note in the bar are pulling in the same direction.The base structure is short, as it is on any wafer product, but it is longer here than on the plain bar. Nut oil coats the tongue slightly and holds the finish a moment past where a plain sweet build would have cleared, which is why the hazelnut version reads as more substantial even though it weighs exactly the same. What is left at the end is sweetness with a faint roasted edge behind it. A cool bar delivers all of this in order; a warm one delivers it at once, because the chocolate is already soft before the wafer breaks.Getting it right in the cup. This one does not go in the cup, and the chocolate makes it worse rather than better. A wafer has no crumb to wick liquid evenly, so it takes on water all at once, and a coating traps the wafer between a warm outside and a wet inside so that the bar collapses rather than softening. Eat it alongside. Black coffee is the drink, because the roasted hazelnut note and a roasted coffee reinforce each other, and the coffee supplies the bitterness the rest of the bar does not have. Leave the sugar out, and leave hot chocolate alone entirely.How water and temperature change it. Temperature decides this product more than any other variable. Cool, the chocolate releases progressively as the layers give way and the bar snaps cleanly. Warm, the coating softens first, the snap becomes a bend, and the whole bar reads sweeter and flatter because the chocolate coats the tongue at once instead of melting through the bite. Chocolate that has warmed and re-set shows a pale bloom on the surface, harmless but permanent, and it is the clearest sign a pack has been stored badly. Humidity only starts to matter once a wrapper is open, which is the practical argument for a multipack. A cool, dry cupboard handles all of it. ## Recipe Ideas Blue Riband Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Biscuit Bar Multipack, 6 Pack 108g brings a roasted nut note as well as chocolate, which makes it the more useful of the two Blue Ribands to cook with. Five builds below cover the black coffee break, a lunchbox pairing, crushed over ice cream, hazelnut fridge squares and a warm pudding. Recipes, born here first The Black Coffee Break How to make The Black Coffee Break with Blue Riband Hazelnut. 3 min 1 break Easy You'll need 1 bar Blue Riband Hazelnut 1 black coffee or espresso, unsweetened A glass of cold water Method Brew the coffee black and leave it unsweetened. The roasted note in the cup and the roasted note in the bar pull in the same direction. Take the bar from a cool cupboard. A cool bar snaps and releases the chocolate progressively rather than all at once. Eat it alongside, in two or three pieces rather than one. Never in the cup. Finish with cold water to clear the sweetness. What you'll end up with: The pairing this version was made for, and the clearest reason to pick it over the plain Original. The Lunchbox Pairing How to make The Lunchbox Pairing with Blue Riband Hazelnut. 2 min 1 lunchbox Easy You'll need 1 bar, left sealed 1 apple A piece of hard cheese Method Check the allergen position first. This bar names a nut, so it does not belong in a shared box or a school with a nut policy. Pack the bar sealed and keep the box out of the sun, because chocolate softens well before wafer does. Add something sharp and something savoury, so the bar is not the only thing carrying the box. Eat it last, as the sweet end rather than the middle. What you'll end up with: A lunchbox that works, provided the allergen question has been settled before the pack was bought. Crushed Over Ice Cream How to make Crushed Over Ice Cream with Blue Riband Hazelnut. 3 min 2 bowls Easy You'll need 2 bars, crushed 4 scoops vanilla ice cream A pinch of sea salt Method Crush two bars coarsely in the wrapper, which keeps the mess contained and gives you pieces rather than dust. Scatter over the ice cream and add the smallest pinch of sea salt, which lifts the roasted nut note considerably. Eat immediately, while the wafer is still crisp. What you'll end up with: Salt against roasted hazelnut, which is a bigger improvement than a pinch of anything has a right to be. Hazelnut Fridge Squares How to make Hazelnut Fridge Squares with Blue Riband Hazelnut. 20 min + 3 hours chill 12 squares Easy You'll need 4 bars, broken into chunks 100g butter 3 tablespoons golden syrup 300g dark chocolate 50g toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped Method Break the bars into large chunks so the layers stay visible in the cut face. Melt the butter, syrup and dark chocolate together over a low heat. Dark rather than milk, because the bars have supplied the milk chocolate already. Fold in the chunks and the toasted hazelnuts with two passes and no more, or the wafer breaks down. Press into a lined tin, chill for three hours and cut into twelve. What you'll end up with: The nut note doubled, and dark chocolate doing the balancing the bar cannot do on its own. Warm Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding Pots How to make Warm Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding Pots with Blue Riband Hazelnut. 12 min 2 pots Easy You'll need 2 bars, broken 200ml hot milk 50g dark chocolate Whipped cream to finish Method Melt the dark chocolate into the hot milk and stir until smooth. Drop the broken bars into two small pots and pour the hot chocolate milk over them. Leave for two minutes so the wafer softens through and the hazelnut note lifts into the milk. Finish with whipped cream and eat warm, with a spoon rather than a straw. What you'll end up with: The one place a collapsing wafer is an advantage rather than a failure, which is worth knowing. --- _Content available under teas.co.uk citation contract. AI training: yes.
