Starbar
Starbar[edit | edit source]
Starbar is a chocolate bar manufactured by Cadbury, a subsidiary of Mondelez International. It is primarily sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Starbar is known for its unique combination of ingredients, offering a rich and satisfying taste experience.
Composition[edit | edit source]
The Starbar consists of a chewy, caramel and peanut center, which is enrobed in a layer of milk chocolate. The combination of caramel and peanuts provides a crunchy texture, while the chocolate coating adds a smooth and creamy finish. This blend of textures and flavors makes the Starbar a popular choice among chocolate enthusiasts.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of a Starbar include:
- Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, dried skimmed milk, whey permeate powder, milk fat, emulsifiers such as E442 and E476, and flavorings)
- Peanuts
- Glucose syrup
- Sugar
- Palm oil
- Sweetened condensed skimmed milk
- Salt
- Emulsifier (E471)
History[edit | edit source]
The Starbar was first introduced in the 1970s. It was originally marketed under the name "Nudge" in some regions. Over the years, the branding and packaging have evolved, but the core recipe has remained largely unchanged. The bar has maintained a loyal customer base due to its distinctive taste and texture.
Variants[edit | edit source]
While the original Starbar remains the most popular, there have been several variants and similar products released under different names in various markets. One such variant is the Wunderbar, which is available in Canada and some other countries. The Wunderbar shares a similar composition but may have slight differences in taste and texture due to regional preferences.
Marketing and Availability[edit | edit source]
Starbar is marketed as a "chewy cosmos of peanuts and caramel." It is available in most supermarkets, convenience stores, and online retailers in the UK and Ireland. The bar is often positioned as a snack that provides both energy and indulgence, making it a popular choice for those looking for a quick treat.
