We threw together a makeshift meal including leftover Christmas treats maltesers and shortbread which they really enjoyed but the biggest blessing of all was seeing how excited Jess and Sam were to have Cusco guests they loved playing and chatting in spanish with them.

Pretty much when the cost of a drink (not even in the flavour you want) + the cost of a pack of maltesers increases the cost of your movie going experience by over 50% (when the tickets are already overinflated as it is) you can understand why people sneak food in.

Nothing to do with with Maltese, although they do sell them there. More like malt-teasers.

Honeycomb? Isn't it malt? Hence the name maltesers?

wikipedia calls it sponge toffee although it is commonly called honeycomb in UK.

What wikipedia calls sponge toffee is called honeycomb here, but that's the stuff that is in Crunchies and Violet Crumbles (yum, btw) which is not the same as what's in Maltesers.

Someone's half-eaten Crunchie.
Honeycomb is the stuff in Crunchies. It's yellower, denser and gets stuck in your teeth more easily. IMHO.

I can confirm that Violet Crumble gets stuck in your teeth VERY easily.

I actually prefer violet crumble to crunchie, because crunchie has that thicker, chewier stuff at the edges, and that's what gets stuck in my teeth. Whereas violet crumble is, well, crumblier.

Used to like Violet Crumble. Now don't because of the teeth-rubbing issue. Eeek. Makes me shiver to think about it.
