Pinky is a popular candy brand that originated from New Zealand. It is a chocolate-covered marshmallow and caramel treat that is produced by the confectionery company, Cadbury. The candy is well-known for its distinctive pink color and unique taste.

History[edit | edit source]

The Cadbury company, a British multinational confectionery company, introduced Pinky in the 1950s. The candy quickly gained popularity in New Zealand due to its unique combination of flavors and textures. Over the years, Pinky has become a staple in the New Zealand confectionery market.

Description[edit | edit source]

Pinky is a rectangular candy bar that measures approximately 15 cm in length. The candy consists of a soft pink marshmallow layer topped with a thin layer of caramel. The entire candy is then coated in a thin layer of Cadbury's signature milk chocolate.

Taste and Texture[edit | edit source]

The taste of Pinky is a combination of sweet and slightly tangy flavors. The marshmallow layer provides a soft and fluffy texture, while the caramel layer adds a chewy and slightly sticky texture. The chocolate coating adds a smooth and creamy texture to the candy.

Availability[edit | edit source]

Pinky is widely available in supermarkets and convenience stores across New Zealand. It can also be purchased online through various e-commerce platforms. In recent years, the candy has also been introduced to other markets, including Australia and the United Kingdom.
