Few Croatian chocolates have a story quite like Mikado Rice Chocolate.

Produced by Zvečevo in Požega, Croatia, Mikado has been part of Croatian confectionery culture since 1964. More importantly, Zvečevo identifies Mikado as the world's first chocolate with rice – making this much more than another crispy chocolate bar.

The idea is beautifully simple: milk chocolate and puffed rice.

The light, airy texture of the rice provides a distinctive crunch against the smooth richness of the chocolate, creating the texture that has made Mikado instantly recognisable for generations. Zvečevo describes Mikado as a chocolate connected with childhood, family moments and memories – something that helps explain why the brand continues to have such a loyal following throughout Croatia and the wider Balkans.

The current 225g Mikado contains puffed rice, while its milk chocolate contains a minimum 33% cocoa solids and 18% milk solids. The larger 225g block is particularly well suited to breaking apart and sharing with family and friends.

For many Croatian and Balkan families in Australia, Zvečevo Mikado is one of those products that immediately brings back memories of home. For customers trying it for the first time, it's an opportunity to experience a genuine piece of Croatian confectionery history.

Enjoy it straight from the pack, break it up for the table with coffee, or simply keep a block in the pantry when you're craving that distinctive combination of milk chocolate and crispy puffed rice.
