Curly Wurly: you decide

m@cc@

The wrapper says 'Milk chocolate with caramel centre', but I say it's 'milk chocolate with a toffee centre'

Toffee.

Caramel is soft and gooey, toffee is harder and chewy.

Taste like siht anyway..

Just glad you only see them at the end of selection boxes at Christmas

On a molecular level toffee is a short chain thus making it brittle (at standard room temprature) while caramel has a longer chain due to it being made at a lower temprature resulting in it's 'bendability'. So a curley wurley is chocolate on caramel.

So if it's toffee, and you dip it in your cup of tea until it's soft and gooey, does it then become caramel?

Dragan

Caramel can be any consistancy. Both toffee and caramel are sugar based, but caramel will be heated to a much lower temperature than toffee.

I'm afraid this is a case of "exactly what it says on the tin".

Well Ice can become Water and then Steam correct (via heating in all cases) so I guess it makes sense that caramel is toffee in some other unsolidified state.

I've never been able to get my head around th scientific elements of a curly wurly.

Tbh i preferred the old Taz bars...

Some people say they taste the exact same as Fredos, but they really don't!!! :eek:

And now they're gone forever....

It's caramel. it's too soft to be toffee and it tastes like caramel

Jesus Juice

Taramel?

deleriumtremens

Tbh, I think the stuff in chomps is the very limit of what could be considered caramel.
I think the stuff in curly wurlys is just slightly passed that ie. it ventures into the toffee catagory.

Berty

It would be like Wispa's. They took them away quietly and there were demands to bring them back so they brought them back with a fanfare and now they can shift them.

However, Curly Wurlys are in a different league altogether. I usually eyeball them when I was getting a dessert for my sandwhich(thats right a dessert) but the Star bar always one in the end.

Its kind of like somebody had sh*t after eating a lot of peanuts, dont you think?

I might get a curly wurly later on the way home but I will feel like I always do, robbed because there are bits missing in the middle. :mad:

False economy. :mad:

It's caramel... Tofee is more treacle like to taste.. Curlys taste like caramel and if it was toffee it would be much harder!
