Why dont malt balls have flat spots in the chocolate??

Question

cordial cherries have flat spots where the chocolate sits on a flat surface to dry or harden, the same with buckeyes, but not on malt balls, why?

Answer 1

They are put into a thing that looks like a cement mixer.  It is going round and round when they apply the chocolate.  After a bit the put a wax in the mixer thing and it all sets up as it turns so no flat spots!

Answer 2

hmmmmm no idea but a very good question....

the only thing i can think of is that once the malt ball gets the chocolate covering,  it goes through a flash cooling process, or a refridgeration process if you will, and the malt balls are constantly moving through a flash cooling machine

Answer 3

They use a chocolate drum, like this:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/ilov...
