[edit] Etymology

The word "Malteser" appears to be the German word for "Maltese", i.e. someone from Malta, the Maltese language, or a member of the Order of Malta. What is the connection between any of these and the candy? --Macrakis 13:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Malteser Secret

A UK Open University Programme in which they were looking at methods of heating and cooling for engineering purposes, showed a clip from the Malteser factory.

The centres are made by heating sugar till it's golden then adding bicarbonate of soda and malt, it efferveces and expands, this sticky mixture is rolled into balls which are then coated in potato starch and sent still hot into a large heated spinning drum, then the maltesers are sprayed with chocolate and rolled into another drum and dried, bagged and shipped.

The remaining scraps and miss-shapes are taken to the nearby Horlicks factory and crushed to make Horlick's Drinking Chocolate.
