Australian Lollies

Australian candy, better known as lollies, seems odd to me sometimes: Red Skins (a raspberry candy); Chicos (a brown baby-shaped candy, which I think is caramel-flavoured); Musk Sticks (a strange name; I've been told they're "pink" flavoured); Milk Bottles (milk seems like a boring candy flavour to me).

Originally, I thought Violet Crumble might be something purple fruit-flavoured, but it turns out it's just the wrapper that's purple.


Violet Crumble is "honeycomb" wrapped in chocolate. It looks sort of like Butterfinger, but it's not sticky.


Honeycomb is very sweet, and doesn't exactly taste like honey. It's hard, and shatters when you bite into it. All in all, I'd say Violet Crumble is so sweet that it makes your teeth hurt!

I like these! I just found a recipe on pinterest for making the honeycomb part!
