The "bumples" on the top of a Twix bar (or any chocolate coated bar) are from a jet of air that is blow on to the bar as it come out of the enrober. It helps to remove the extra chocolate off the bar.

I made Bounty bars the other night. Very easy to make and taste delicious, not to mention they're about twice the size of a shop bought Bounty. I used a mould for the coconut mixture, put them in the freezer for a couple of hours then dipped them into the chocolate. Used a fork to take them out, letting the excess chocolate drip off then put them on a silicon mat on a tray then into the fridge. It's less messy doing it that way. I made 8 big bars. Cost was around £2.50 - £3.00.

When Mars stopped making the Mars bar with Dark chocolate my dad was really disappointed so I made him some for Fathers day.

@@dees3179The cost of Cocoa beans have increased over time and the chocolate manufacturers have used this to justify increasing their prices. However, to maximise their profits they have reduced the amount of cocoa in the chocolate and that's why commercial chocolate doesn't taste the same as it used to. Advertisers often use slogans such as, "New/improved recipe" to fool consumers into thinking the product is better than it was before so people will buy them. When in reality the amount of cocoa has been reduced. Or to cut costs further they change the shape of the chocolate bars to round chunks instead of square ones by literally cutting corners so you get less product as well. At least when you make them yourself you can decide on the size of the product and how much cocoa/chocolate you have in what you make.

I suppose the dark Mars is similar to the US "Milky Way Midnight Dark" which has always been one of my fav (and I still buy now and then). I should see if I can make my own Mounds (same as Bounty but with dark chocolate) - those are way up my alley.

they make the ridges on the top of the chocolate by blowing the chocolate with a jet of air as it goes along on the conveyor belt, just after it comes out of the chocolate enrober. so the air also cools down the chocolate, helps it set faster and also aids in making sure the bar if fully coated with a thin layer of chocolate.

I don't know if you have an Honest Burgers nearby but they have this thing where in addition to common menu there's usually a monthly special, plus each location has a unique burger which is only available in one restaurant and is based on the local area. My local is Camden: Honest beef, taleggio cheese, smoked streaky bacon, white truffle mayo, truffled shoestring fries, rocket and pickles. But my personal favourite is Warren Street: Honest beef, bulgogi BBQ bacon, American cheese, gochujang burger sauce, kimchi, nigella seeds and lettuce - *so* *good.* I'd love to see you try this.

A twix is basically millionaire shortbread that's fully encased in chocolate to hide the small amount of toffee filling. Chunk the butter and it'll melt faster and if you don't have a thermometer you can do a drop test into cold water and feeling the ball of toffee, beating the mix will turn it into fudge. Silicon mat on the cooling rack is good for keeping chocolate away from the wires Instead of making fingers could cut into bite sized cubes

Caramel is just partially burned sugar. What most people call "caramel" such as caramel sauce, caramel filling, &c, is actually butterscotch (because of the addition of cream and butter). The only true caramel topping I've seen lately are those coffee shop syrups like Monin, Amoretti, Torani and Da Vinci. Their caramel is usually just a simple syrup made from actual caramel.
