Ulker Halley Sandwich Biscuits Filled with Marshmallow in Milk Chocolate, 77g
A British buyer will recognise the shape long before the name. Two plain discs, a marshmallow middle and milk chocolate over the lot is a build this country knows under its own labels; this is the Turkish household version. The discs are structural and nothing else, so only one component is interesting at a time and the coating gets the last word. The 77g pack is the sensible way to meet it: enough to find out, not enough to commit to. Milk in the coating, wheat in the discs, and a marshmallow centre is a reason to read the declaration rather than assume.
Ulker Halley Sandwich Biscuits Filled with Marshmallow in Milk Chocolate, in brief.
Ülker Halley is a chocolate-coated marshmallow sandwich biscuit in a 77g pack, two plain biscuit discs around an aerated centre, picked into the Teas.co.uk selection as the Turkish reading of a format that turns up independently in a dozen countries.
Temperature changes this biscuit more than anything you do in the cup: soft at room temperature, chewy from the fridge. It is sweet and makes no attempt not to be, so brew strong and leave the sugar out. Do not dunk it, the coating goes first.
That is worth saying first because it is the thing most people never think about. A marshmallow centre is an aerated foam, not a cream and not a caramel. Warm it slightly and it relaxes, going soft and faintly stringy; chill it and it firms up into something closer to chewy nougat. The same pack genuinely reads as two different biscuits depending on whether it has been sitting by a radiator or in the fridge.

The Story Behind The Pack
Ülker is a Turkish house and Halley is its reading of a format that turns up independently in a dozen countries: two plain biscuit discs, a marshmallow centre, the whole thing enrobed in chocolate. Britain has Wagon Wheels, the United States has moon pies, Turkey has this. The format keeps reappearing because it solves a real problem cheaply. Marshmallow is mostly air, so it fills a large volume for very little weight, and the chocolate coating holds the whole assembly together and stops the filling drying out.
The biscuit discs deserve a word, because they are the part nobody notices and the part doing the work. They are deliberately plain: no butter note to speak of, no salt, nothing assertive. That is not laziness. Anything with real character there would argue with the marshmallow, and the reason the format works is that only one thing in it is trying to be interesting at a time. Once you notice that, the whole build makes sense.
What we will not tell you is how many are in the pack, because that figure is not published at product level, and we would rather state nothing than estimate. The ingredient panel, the nutrition table and the full allergen statement are printed on the current UK pack in the same way.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- The pack that arrives is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market.
- A chocolate-coated biscuit is the one that suffers most from a warm cupboard, and a pack that has bloomed or softened tends to get thrown away rather than eaten. Storing it somewhere cool is a waste question as much as a quality one.

The taste profile
How does it compare
The sweetness here is not negotiable, so the cup has to do the balancing. Brew strong, leave the sugar out entirely, and resist the urge to dunk. This is one of the few biscuits in the range where dunking is genuinely a mistake rather than a matter of taste.
The Strong Unsweetened Mug
The Temperature Experiment
Made with this tea
The Strong Unsweetened Mug
How to make The Strong Unsweetened Mug with Ulker Halley.
- 1 or 2 Halley biscuits
- 1 bag heavy black tea
- 200ml water at a full boil
- A splash of milk, optional
- Steep four full minutes. Tannin is what cuts the cocoa butter film, and a weak cup is swamped.
- Leave the sugar out entirely. A sweet cup beside this becomes cloying within two mouthfuls.
- Eat the biscuit dry alongside. Do not dunk it under any circumstances.
- Stop at two. The film holds the sweetness in place longer than you expect.
What you'll end up with: A cup doing the balancing the biscuit cannot do for itself.
The Fridge Version
How to make The Fridge Version with Ulker Halley.
- 2 Halley biscuits
- A fridge
- Chill for half an hour, no longer. The centre firms towards chewy nougat.
- Bite rather than break. The coating is brittle at this point and snaps cleanly.
- Compare against a room-temperature one side by side. It is genuinely a different biscuit.
What you'll end up with: The same pack behaving like a different product, which is worth knowing once.
The Berry Plate
How to make The Berry Plate with Ulker Halley.
- 4 Halley biscuits
- A handful of raspberries
- A few orange segments
- Plate the biscuits with the fruit rather than with more biscuits.
- Eat a berry between biscuits. Acidity cuts a marshmallow centre where bitterness only partly does.
- Serve strong unsweetened tea alongside rather than anything sweet.
What you'll end up with: A plate where the second biscuit is as good as the first, which is not otherwise true.
What Not To Do With It
How to make What Not To Do With It with Ulker Halley.
- The 77g pack
- A cool dark cupboard
- Do not dunk it. The coating fails first and there is no gradual softening to warn you.
- Do not bake with it. A marshmallow centre smears rather than crushing, so it will not make a base.
- Do not store it near the kettle or in the sun. A bloomed, softened pack usually gets thrown away.
What you'll end up with: A pack that is still worth opening, which on this format is not a given.
Brewing the perfect cup
What’s in it, what to know
Inside the pack
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Marshmallow centre | the middle | An aerated foam rather than a cream or a caramel, which is why it yields instead of resisting and why the temperature of the room changes the biscuit so noticeably. |
| Milk chocolate coating | the outside | The first thing to reach the nose and the last to leave the palate, because it leaves a cocoa butter film a plain biscuit never does. It also holds the assembly together. |
| Plain biscuit discs | top and bottom | Structural rather than flavourful, and deliberately so. Anything assertive here would argue with the filling, and the format works because only one component is interesting at a time. |
| Pack weight | 77g | The piece count is not published at product level and we state none. |
Pack: Ulker Halley Sandwich Biscuits Filled with Marshmallow in Milk Chocolate, 77g; chocolate-coated marshmallow sandwich biscuits. Best before the date printed on the pack. Keep it cool: this is the format that suffers most from a warm cupboard.
Sourcing & blend. Ulker Halley Sandwich Biscuits Filled with Marshmallow in Milk Chocolate, 77g comes from Ulker, a Turkish house, and the build is one that appears independently in a dozen countries: two plain discs, a marshmallow centre, the whole thing enrobed. Britain has Wagon Wheels, the United States has moon pies, Turkey has this. The format keeps reappearing because it solves a real problem cheaply. Marshmallow is mostly air, so it fills a large volume for very little weight, and the chocolate coating holds the assembly together while stopping the filling drying out. The pack you receive is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe.
What is in Ulker Halley Sandwich Biscuits Filled with Marshmallow in Milk Chocolate, 77g, and what is not:
- In: sandwich biscuits with a marshmallow filling, coated in milk chocolate, in a single 77g pack.
- Contains dairy: the product name states a milk chocolate coating, so that much is certain. Every other allergen is on the pack and we reproduce none of them.
- Not a crunchy biscuit: there is no snap here and there is not meant to be, which is an editorial description of the build rather than a claim off the pack.
