Life's Little Mystery

Mood: sugar high

I love Caramilk bars. I really do. But they've had the same marketing campaign since longer than I've been alive. Sure, I mean now they have their witty "carasutra" commercials (Oh man. That looks like loads of fun.) but!! In the little corner at the bottom of the wrapper it reads "savour the mystery".

The "mystery" being 'how do they get the creamy caramel into the centers of the Caramilk bars?'

I've got one word for you: 'Enzymes'. (The long and short of it is enzymes are substances that break other substances, or aid in breaking other substances, down. Like stomach acid.)

So, enzymes are infused into the caramel before it hardens, when it is then treated to a sensual coating of Cadbury milk chocolate. While in the wrapper, the little enzymes work their magic inside the caramel, making it soft and creamy by the time the chocolate bars hit store shelves! --Ta Da!

...Actually, I jest. I do not truly know the "Cadbury Secret". That's just what my grandpa told me when I was eight... I'm actually pretty sure they just pour the caramel into an upside-down chocolate shell, but whatever.
