Valomilk

Valomilk is a type of candy that consists of a creamy, flowing marshmallow center encased in a milk chocolate shell. It is produced by the Russell Sifers Candy Company, a family-owned business based in Merriam, Kansas. Valomilk is known for its unique texture and rich flavor, making it a popular treat among candy enthusiasts.

History

Valomilk was first created in the 1930s by the Russell Sifers Candy Company. The candy was accidentally invented when a batch of marshmallow failed to set properly, resulting in a runny consistency. Instead of discarding the batch, the company decided to encase the flowing marshmallow in chocolate, creating the first Valomilk candy cup. The name "Valomilk" is derived from the words "vanilla" and "milk," highlighting the key ingredients in the candy.

Production

The production of Valomilk involves several steps:

1. The marshmallow center is prepared using a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla.
2. The mixture is whipped to create a light and airy texture.
3. The marshmallow is then poured into chocolate cups, which are made from high-quality milk chocolate.
4. The cups are cooled and packaged for distribution.

Popularity
