Bite-sized version of chocolate bar

Reminiscent of the original Polly Waffle first created in 1947, the Polly Waffle Bites, being released in April 2024 in Australia by family-owned confectionery manufacturer Menz, are bite-sized pieces of soft vanilla marshmallow covered in milk chocolate with crunchy pieces of wafer throughout. Due to manufacturing complexities, Bites will replace the original bar permanently.
