Candy Bar Review: The Violet Crumble

The Violet Crumble is packaged in a wrapping quite similar to all other major candy bars, but of course, it's violet. The writing is yellow, so the color scheme works..,but not really for a chocolate bar. When you see purple and yellow you might expect a fruity delight, but it's not really like that. Here's the thing, though: the wrapper advertises two interesting things about the bar: 1.) that it's from Australia, so therefore must be extremely exotic, and 2.) "It's the way it shatters that matters." Now, from the looks of the bar, you're assuming it's a chocolate bar along the lines of Snickers or Three Musketeers, but when you hear "shatter" it sort of makes you feel...somewhere between anxious and downright scared to bite into the thing. When I hear the word "shatter" I think of teeth...shattering...NOT good with a candy bar.

Size
The bar is the size of, say, a Milky Way bar, but it's extremely light. After seeing the packaging and feeling the extremely light weight, one might begin growing more and more wary of this bar.

Color
Outside
It's chocolate...'nough said.

Inside
It's sort of a yellow-tan color. It looks like a malt ball...sort of like chalk.

Texture
The first is really a complete surprise. I had no idea what to expect at first, so when I bit into the chocolate bar, I was expecting some sort of nougat, but it's not that at all. The candy bar is chocolate on the outside, but the entire inside is the texture of one big malt ball. Imagine it like a Whopper, but instead of chocolate malt it's sort of a honey malt.

Smell
I liked the smell. It reminded me of the way a Sugar Daddy smelled and even tasted, but in a malt ball texture.

Taste
After I got used to the idea of what I was eating, the first thing I noticed was that the taste really works. The taste of honey goes very well with the light chocolate coating. For a long time I was trying to place the taste of the inside, when I decided that it's basically a Sugar Daddy but in malt ball form, as I said before. Personally I liked it, but I can definitely see where one might not like it because of personal like or dislike of the honey or the texture of the malty inside.

Consumption Tip
DON'T bite into it expecting some soft inside...you won't get it.
