Violet Crumble Dark Chocolate Honeycomb Bites 170g (6oz)

Violet Crumble Dark Chocolate Honeycomb Bites are a 170g bag of bite-sized pieces of brittle, aerated honeycomb toffee coated in dark chocolate from the Violet Crumble brand — the Australian confectionery icon whose defining characteristic is the shattering, crisp-then-crumbling texture of the honeycomb interior that sets it apart from every other chocolate-covered candy format. Violet Crumble is one of Australia's most beloved and culturally significant confectionery brands, originally created by Abel Hoadley's Confectionery Company in Melbourne in 1913 and now owned by Nestlé — a brand whose tagline It's the way it shatters has become one of the most recognisable candy advertising phrases in Australian commercial culture. The honeycomb toffee (also called hokey pokey in New Zealand, sponge candy in parts of the United States, and cinder toffee in the UK) is made by cooking sugar and golden syrup to hard-crack stage and then adding bicarbonate of soda, which causes the mixture to foam dramatically, setting into a porous, brittle honeycomb structure — a simple reaction that produces one of the most texturally distinctive confections in the candy world: light, shattering, almost dissolving instantly on contact with the heat of the mouth. Eat by the handful as the Australian honeycomb-and-dark-chocolate candy that shatters in the mouth, give to anyone with a connection to Australian food culture for whom Violet Crumble is a childhood taste memory, or introduce to anyone unfamiliar with the honeycomb-chocolate format as one of the most texturally unique confections in the candy world.
