Thanks Coolah,
Now I'm even more homesick. Have to get my mum send a care package: violet crumble, golden rough, peppermint crisp..and more.

Mmm, Violet Crumble!! I might have to make a soap out of that now I think! *goes off hunting for a suitable fragrance oil*

AAAH!! Man I have to send you a Violet Crumble lol!

It's Honeycomb wrapped in chocolate, but like, the BEST honeycomb.
There is also 'Crunchie' which is also honeycomb wrapped in chocolate, but it's different. Tastes different and hurts my tongue when I suck it.
Not like Violet Crumble...

I am thinking this sounds like 'angel food'??? And for sure there are some places that make it better than others. Sudsalot, have you ever compared the two?

History



A Violet Crumble shown shattered after hitting a hard surface.
Abel Hoadley (born 10 September 1844, died 12 May 1918)[2] opened a jam factory in South Melbourne, Victoria, in 1889, trading as A. Hoadley & Company. By 1895, business had expanded rapidly and Hoadley built a five-storey premises, the Rising Sun Preserving Works. He produced jams, jellies, preserved fruits, candied peels, sauces, and confectionery and employed a workforce as large as 200. By 1901, there were four preserving factories and a large confectionery works. Hoadley had acquired the firm of Dillon, Burrows & Co. and extended his products to vinegar, cocoa, and chocolate. In 1910, the jam business was sold to Henry Jones Co-operative Ltd. and in 1913, Hoadley's Chocolates Ltd was formed.
The same year, Hoadley produced his first chocolate assortment and packed them in a purple box decorated with violets. The packaging was in tribute to his wife's favorite colour (purple) and favorite flower (violets). Within the box assortment was a piece of honeycomb that became so popular that Hoadley decided to produce an individual honeycomb bar.
This proved trickier than first thought, because as the pieces of honeycomb cooled, they absorbed moisture and started sticking together. This hygroscopic nature of honeycomb led Hoadley to eventually dip his bars in chocolate, to keep the honeycomb dry and crunchy. Thus, in 1913, the Violet Crumble bar was created.
Hoadley wanted to call his new bar just Crumble, but learned that it was not possible to protect the name with a trademark. He thought of his wife (Susannah Ann née Barrett) and her favourite flower, the violet, and registered the name Violet Crumble, using a purple wrapper with a small flower logo. It was an instant success.
Violet Crumbles were crisper in texture than Crunchie bars, with a slightly more marshmallow taste.
