How do they make malteasers round?!
"While the exact manufacturing process is a trade secret, the basic process is known. Honeycomb dough is made and rolled out in a long sheet which passes between two rollers which have hemispheres carved out of them to make the bubbles and compress the dough. When the dough is baked, little balls pop up and the compressed portion between them are broken off. The balls are then coated in chocolate and when dry, they are rolled along a section of track."

they had small mice nibble them into shape, they are actually made as squares.. and then they cover them with chocolate!
Great question! I'd love to know how!
Sorry i cant help you.

So you can roll them around your moth and let the chocolate melt, exposing the sweet centre for you to crunch!
good question and i know the answer to this...but its top secret so i cant not reveal it
It's a drop forge, forced extrusion, semi-centrifugal, off-set biased, gravity influenced, thermostatically controlled mechanism. You can build one of these at home if you can get the plans but the details are a well kept secret.
They are rolled in something the equivalent of a cement mixer. It really isn't a big secret. I wrote to Mars a few years ago to ask them this very question. And not only did I get an answer, I also got a voucher to spend on some Maltesers!
I wish I could buy them in the States, I really miss them :(
They have something similar here called malt balls, and they taste like cardboard! YUK!
