History

The Jelly Tip was invented by Tip Top in 1951, [1] by people who were tasked with creating an ice cream for active children. [3]

In 2011, the 75th anniversary of Tip Top, the company gave away 50,000 Jelly Tips. [4]

In 2015 and 2021 Tip Top partnered with Griffin's Foods to create a limited edition Jelly Tip biscuit. [5] [6] In 2015 and 2016 there was a Whittaker's Jelly Tip chocolate block as a limited edition. [7] [8] It later became a permanent item and was made available in Australia in 2020. [9] In 2015 there was a limited edition pavlova Jelly Tip, [10] and a Squiggles Jelly Tip biscuit. [11] In 2019 Tip Top and Primo created a Jelly Tip flavoured milk. [12]

Manufacturing

To make a Jelly Tip, moulds are run through cold water and then jelly is put into the moulds, which is then frozen. Ice cream is then poured on top, and a stick is placed inside. After being taken out of the moulds, they are dipped in liquid chocolate, dried off, and then wrapped. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Honeycomb toffee</span> Type of sweet candy

Honeycomb toffee, honeycomb candy, sponge toffee, cinder toffee, seafoam, or hokey pokey is a sugary toffee with a light, rigid, sponge-like texture. Its main ingredients are typically brown sugar and baking soda, sometimes with an acid such as vinegar. The baking soda and acid react to form carbon dioxide which is trapped in the highly viscous mixture. When acid is not used, thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide. The sponge-like structure is formed while the sugar is liquid, then the toffee sets hard. The candy goes by a variety of names and regional variants.
