I have no idea when my neighborhood market got Violet Crumble bars in-stock, but while getting some movie-style candy to take to my folks for holiday movie action, I found them lurking behind a post right where candy segues into baking supplies.

If you have never heard of a Violet Crumble before, it was invented in Australia in 1913, and is the origin of chocolate-covered seafoam/honeycomb candy.

Normally I have to haul my kishkes downtown to the international district or to a tourist-zone-situated candy store to acquire this form of sugar, so I’ll probably put a small dent in what they have.

I JUST REMEMBER I HAVE A BAG OF VIOLET CRUMBLE!!!!!!!!

#yum yum yum yum #favorite treat #weird texture but in a good way #violet crumble #australian #treat

In celebration of Albo's victory, I decided to get a bag of Violet Crumble. My local grocery store just started selling it, because now is a GREAT time to start selling imported candy. Good work, guys!

Anyway, it's only called Violet Crumble because the bag is purple. The candy itself is not. Also nothing is flavored like violets. I knew that going in, but this feels like it was done specifically to make old people angry (them being fans of those gross flowered-flavor candies from the 1880s that they still make).

Also "It's the way it shatters that matters!" is the trademarked motto for Violet Crumble. Because I guess at some point there was a war in the Australia candy market about how precisely things shatter...? Also it doesn't shatter, it crunches, because it's filled with what amounts to honey-flavored freeze-dried ice cream:

(Kudos to my phone for deciding to put random anime speed lines on this.)

...Call it "VIOLENT Crumble," then. Because that seems to be what you're going for.

These are square "bites" and not a candy bar, so maybe the bar would "shatter" more, if you broke it? Throw off some crumbs?

Candy that shatters to me is like peanut brittle, or rock candy or things similarly made from hardened sugar. There's a reason they make stage bottles and windows out of this kind of mix. Candy canes shatter. This stuff just crunches.

Maybe shatter means something different in Oz. Or these are America-specific ones that are made differently than the originals? That happens a lot. Because we allow dangerous chemical dyes and corn syrup, but if you bake something with egg that comes out of shells not washed first washed in hot ammonia, customs deports it to El Salvador. So maybe this crunchy sponge stuff is different than whatever is in the real ones.

All that aside, they're good. The combination of the fake honey flavor and chocolate almost take cakey, and I always like the weird texture of this freeze-dried stuff, and how it immediately melts in your mouth like ice cream made of chemicals (which is what it is).

This bag has a bunch of these in it, like they're chips or something. And two of these bites is almost 200 calories. Kind of substantial for what these are. I was expecting something the size of my thumbnail.

Fun for a random purchase. Not sure I'll buy them again after they're $15 a bag.
