Milka is a Swiss brand of chocolate confectionery. Originally made in Switzerland in 1901 by Suchard, it has been produced in Lörrach, Germany, from 1901.^[3]^[4] Since 2012 it has been owned by US-based company Mondelez International, when it started following the steps of its predecessor Kraft Foods Inc., which had taken over the brand in 1990.^[5]^[6] It is sold in bars and a number of novelty shapes for Easter and Christmas.^[7] Products with the Milka brand also include chocolate-covered cookies and biscuits.^[8]

The brand's name is a portmanteau of the product's two main ingredients: "Milch" (milk) and "Kakao" (cocoa).^[9]
