Caramac
Caramac is a caramel-flavoured bar that was first introduced by Mackintosh's in the United Kingdom in 1959. The name 'Caramac' is derived from the caramel flavouring and Mackintosh's, the original manufacturer.
History[edit | edit source]
The Caramac bar was first produced by Mackintosh's in 1959, following a competition among the company's workforce to come up with a name for their new product. The winning entry was 'Caramac', a portmanteau of 'caramel' and 'Mackintosh'.
In 1969, Mackintosh's was taken over by Rowntree's, a confectionery company based in York. Rowntree's continued to produce the Caramac bar until 1988, when the company was acquired by Nestlé. Today, the Caramac bar is produced by Nestlé in their factory in Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Caramac bar is a long, thin bar made from a caramel-flavoured compound. The bar is light brown in colour and has a smooth, creamy texture. The flavour of the bar is sweet and rich, with a distinctive caramel taste.
The Caramac bar is typically sold in a red and yellow wrapper, with the name 'Caramac' printed in bold, white letters. The bar is usually sold in single units, but can also be found in multi-packs.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Over the years, several variations of the Caramac bar have been produced. These include the Caramac Giant Buttons, which are large, round discs of Caramac, and the Caramac Easter Egg, which is a hollow chocolate egg filled with Caramac buttons.
In addition, a limited edition Caramac Kit Kat was released in 2015. This product featured the classic Kit Kat wafer covered in Caramac instead of chocolate.
