Violet Crumble

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Violet Crumble is an Australian chocolate bar that is manufactured by Robert Menz. It is one of the most popular and iconic confectionery items in Australia, known for its distinctive honeycomb toffee center which is coated in compound chocolate.

History[edit | edit source]

Violet Crumble was first created by Abel Hoadley in 1913. Hoadley wanted to create a chocolate bar that would not melt easily in the heat, and after several attempts, he came up with the honeycomb toffee center. The name "Violet Crumble" was derived from his wife's favorite flower, the violet, and the crumbly nature of the honeycomb toffee.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Violet Crumble involves the creation of the honeycomb toffee center, which is then coated in compound chocolate. The honeycomb toffee is made by combining sugar, corn syrup, and baking soda, and heating the mixture until it caramelizes. The baking soda creates bubbles in the mixture, giving it a light, crumbly texture. The honeycomb toffee is then broken into pieces and coated in compound chocolate.

Popularity[edit | edit source]

Violet Crumble is widely recognized as an iconic Australian confectionery item. It is popular not only in Australia, but also in other countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. The unique texture and flavor of the honeycomb toffee, combined with the chocolate coating, make it a favorite among many consumers.
