How do they get the choc on Maltesers`?

Answer 1

I know the secret to this one. They make the middle crunchy bits then leave them in the factory overnight which is when the Malteser Fairy comes and does her magic. When the workers come to the factory in the morning all the little balls are perfectly covered. Ta-da!!!!

Great question by the way :)

Answer 2

Maltesers, originally known as Energy Balls, were invented by Forrest Mars Sr. in 1936. The current name is a portmanteau of the words "malt" and "teasers". Despite the spelling, there is no connection with the nation of Malta or Maltese people. The mystery of how the chocolate covers the porous biscuit centre is a closely guarded secret.

Maltesers are a confectionery product manufactured by Mars, Inc. They consist of a spherical malt honeycomb centre, surrounded by milk chocolate. They are most popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan. Maltesers come in either plastic bags (ranging in size from small 'fun-size' upwards) or in larger cardboard boxes and tubes. A single ball is called a malteser. Maltesers' slogan is "The lighter way to enjoy chocolate" (replacing its previous slogans: "No ordinary chocolate" and "Nothing pleases like Maltesers"). In the 1930s, ads for Maltesers claimed that they're beneficial for weight loss.

A similar confection is manufactured in the United States. Known as Whoppers, they are chocolate-coated malted milk balls produced by The Hershey Company.

Answer 3

The malted chocolate balls known as Maltesers are made by Mars Confectionery. They consist of a crunchy malt centre covered in chocolate. They are smooth and almost perfectly round.
Maltesers were originally known as 'Energy Balls' and were invented by Forrest Mars Sr. in 1936. Despite the name, Maltesers bear no connection to Malta or anything Maltese. In fact, the name actually came from the combination of the words, 'malt' and 'teasers'. Nowadays, Maltesers are made by the Mars group and are popular not only in the United Kingdom but also in Ireland and Japan. Interestingly, countries like the USA and Australia have their own versions of Maltesers too.

Answer 4

As the centres are tossed around inside the revolving drum of the coating pan, fine sprays of chocolate are coated onto them, building up the layers, until the chocolate coating is at the required thickness. In the final stage, a spraying of edible wax is used to give the Maltesers their shiny polished look.

The skill of the operator using the coating pan to feed the chocolate spray in at just the right rate prevents the Maltesers sticking together

Answer 5

Must be sprayed to in many a layer gd question its bugged me for ages one day we can raid the malteaser factory and find out until then we'll have keep wondering and thinking of how clever the chocolatey god of mars are and how much we appreciate there wonderful creations.

Amen

Answer 6

I have 4 Maltese.
Oh yea, what is 'choc'?

Answer 7

They put a piece of fishing line on a very fine needle and thread it through the holes in the honeycomb, then each malteser is hand dipped and dryed and then put in a packet! :D

Answer 8

Chocolate is poured into a giant anus and the centres are then inserted. By squeezing the muscles in the anus, the chocolate is smoothed onto the surface and ejected into the waiting packaging. I hope this explanation allows you to enjoy your sugar fix for the evening.

Answer 9

I would think they are dipped in Choc

Answer 10

they make a sphere out of chocolate in a gas filled mold and then they simply cram the honeycombe centre in through a tiny little hole.
