What is violet crumble?

Violet Crumble is a popular Australian chocolate bar that is known for its honeycomb toffee center covered in chocolate. It was first introduced in 1913 by Hoadley's Chocolates in Melbourne, Australia. The name "Violet Crumble" is said to have been inspired by a competition held to name the new bar, with "Violet" chosen as a way to suggest the delicate nature of the honeycomb inside.

The honeycomb center of the Violet Crumble is made by heating sugar, glucose syrup, and bicarbonate of soda until it becomes frothy and aerated. This mixture is then allowed to harden before being coated in milk chocolate.

In 2018, the Australian company Robern Menz acquired the Violet Crumble brand from Nestle, who had previously owned it. Since the acquisition, Robern Menz has continued to produce and sell the iconic chocolate bar to customers in Australia and around the world.

Violet Crumble is a beloved treat among Australians and is often enjoyed on its own or crushed and sprinkled on top of desserts for added crunch and sweetness. It is also a popular ingredient in recipes for homemade ice cream, cakes, and cookies.
