How Maltesers are Made

Mars do not openly reveal their trade secret of how Maltesers are made, and how the chocolate balls are smooth, with no edges. However, we can speculate on a viable possibility.

Firstly the dough for the centres has to be mixed and then shaped. In the past that would probably have involved the use of a drop roller but nowadays these are rarely used in high volume confectionery production; most have been replaced by the more efficient automatic candy-forming machine. The next step involves the centres being fed into a continuous oven which cooks them, giving them their honeycombed texture. They then go into a coating pan, which is a bit like a cement-mixer. 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. ”

There you go. What the site neglected to mention is that they are (with the exception of the aptly named “munchies” the perfect chocolate to enjoy when you do (in fact) have “the munchies”.
The only problem is that now I’ve read about them being coated in edible wax I’ve gone right off them.

Now can I please have left-handed guitar?

John G. How do I know it’s you? It might not be? I’m going to have to test you. Tell me the answers to the following questions and I’ll believe it’s you.
a. What colour do you get if you mix blue cuaraso and 1080 cider?
b. What is the last song to be played on the jukebox at the Percy on a Thursday night
c. What was the pizza topping HM insisted upon whenever we came out of the mayfair?

Apart from that - how the devil are you?

CB. You probably can. The neighbors have started ignoring me when we pass on the stairs once more so I must be getting shouty.
