Coffee Crisp is a chocolate bar made in Canada. It consists of alternating layers of vanilla wafer and a foamed coffee-flavoured soft candy, covered with a milk chocolate outer layer. Originally launched by British company Rowntree's, it is currently owned and commercialized by Nestlé. [1]
It is typically found in a red, white, and blue striped package (blue on top, white in the middle, and red on the bottom). The ingredients in Big Turk bars include sugar, glucose, modified corn starch, cocoa butter, milk ingredients, unsweetened chocolate, black carrot concentrate, soy lecithin, natural flavor, citric acid, salt.
Its successor, Nestlé's Canadian unit, sold it in 1998 [2] to Archibald Candy Corporation of Chicago, [3] which they then sold to Gordon Brothers LLC of Boston in 2004. [4] In 2004, there were 174 outlets throughout the country and a staff of 1,600. [3] In 2010 Jean and Jacques Leclerc of Quebec purchased the company. [5]
Maple taffy (sometimes maple toffee in English-speaking Canada, tire d'érable or tire sur la neige in French-speaking Canada; also sugar on snow or candy on the snow or leather aprons in the United States) is a sugar candy made by boiling maple sap past the point where it would form maple syrup, but not so long that it becomes maple butter or maple sugar.
The candies distributed in Canada are marketed as Rockets, to avoid confusion with Smarties, [2] [6] a chocolate candy produced by Nestlé which holds the trademark in Canada. [7] The New Jersey factory produces approximately 1 billion rolls of Smarties annually, [8] and in total the company produces over 2.5 billion in a year. [6] [9] [10]
One of the advertising campaigns for Caramilk bars revolved around the question of how the centre of the confection was put into the chocolate flavoured exterior. [1] This theme led to the production of over fifteen separate television advertisements since the candy was introduced, making the series one of the most productive advertising efforts in Canadian history.
