Milk chocolate was first available as a drink, created by Jordan & Timaeus of Dresden, Germany, around 1845.
Daniel Peter mixed powdered milk and dark chocolate in 1875 and created the first milk chocolate candy bar that year called "Gala Peter." Milk chocolate was further enhanced in the coming years by Henri Nestlé, who happened to be a friend of Peter. Based upon the success of Gala Peter, they went on to found Nestlé Foods.
Conching, or the process of heating and grinding chocolate solids to make the consistency creamier and effortlessly blended, was developed by Rodolphe Lindt.
Milton Hershey economized the whole process, resulting in mass-produced milk chocolate.

International Milk Chocolate with Almonds Day is sponsored by organizations, including the National Confections Associations.
