• Milk mice: and white mice

• Strawberry-flavoured chocolate: pieces

• Chocolate honeycomb bites

• Chocolate-covered raisins

• Solid chocolate bars: and buttons

• Chocolate-coated nuts: and biscuits

Typical Ingredients

The ingredients vary depending on the specific sweets included in your mix, but generally fall into two categories:

• Solid chocolates (Dark, Milk, or White):

  These contain cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids, with the proportions defining the type of chocolate. Emulsifiers like soya lecithin are added for a smooth texture. 

• Chocolate-coated or flavoured sweets:

  These often have a base of sugar, glucose syrup, vegetable fat (like palm), and wheat flour, which is then coated in chocolate or a chocolate-flavoured confectionery. 

  • Example of a chocolate-coated sweet:Sugar, vegetable fat, whey powder (from milk), wheat flour, emulsifier (soya lecithin), glucose syrup, and natural flavourings.
