Answer 1

While the exact manufacturing process is a secret, the basic process is known. Honeycomb dough is made and rolled out in a long sheet which passes between two rollers which have hemispheres carved out of them to make the bubbles and compress the dough. When the dough is baked, little balls pop up and the compressed portion between them are broken off. The balls are then coated in chocolate and when dry, they are rolled along a section of track. Lumpy candies are crushed up and used to make more maltesers.
