I was standing behind a mum with 2 children in a queue the other day. One child was a baby laying almost flat in a pram aged about 3 months. The other was around 6. The baby was really sweet smiling out of the pram which is what drew my attention to them. Then she grizzled and the mum said ‘whopps sorry I took away the milk buttons didn’t I. She was feeding her (the baby) milkybar buttons. Quite a lot of them. I then noticed that that the mum was overweight, the nan who was also with them was overweight and most sadly the 6 year old was very overweight /obese. Why would any mum be feeding their 3 month old chocolate? Obviously the whole family and little girl could have had a medical condition but Barring that why don’t parents see that feeding them sugar and too many processed foods early on is creating so many health problems for their children? It makes me actually quite angry and sad for the children and I cringe seeing it. Yes I know it’s none of my business directly, but this is everyone’s business because it’s a huge problem for the UK and is going to increase multi fold in the coming years.
I've been going crazy trying to find any modicum of info about these online. I remember when I was very young (so around 2002-2004) there were these Milkybar biscuits that I used to love, but now the only picture of them I can find online is this which looks to be a sculpture and not the actual food itself.
I've scoured Milkybar's website and countless "discontinued snacks we want back" listicles and found absolutely nothing about these delicious things, so I'm wondering if anyone else remembers them? Did they have a name? Is this a weird Mandela effect thing? Please help!

I have always been a fan of the milky bar dessert, but can't find any recipes online in order to make it myself, I'm pretty sure its something simple like melted white chocolate and condensed milk, but would appreciate any suggestions, or if someone knows an actual recipe.
