Discovering the Big Turk Candy Bar
The Big Turk candy bar is easy to spot! It usually comes in a wrapper with red, white, and blue stripes. The blue stripe is at the top, white in the middle, and red at the bottom.
What's Inside a Big Turk?
The main part of a Big Turk bar is its chewy, jelly-like center, which is a type of sweet called Turkish delight. This sweet treat is then covered in a smooth chocolate coating.
The ingredients in a Big Turk bar include sugar, a type of corn starch, cocoa butter (which comes from cocoa beans), milk ingredients, and unsweetened chocolate. It also has black carrot concentrate to give it that dark pink color, along with other natural flavors and a bit of salt.
It's important to know that even though peanuts are not an ingredient in Big Turk bars, they are made in factories that also handle peanuts. This means there's a chance the bars might come into contact with peanut traces.
A Lighter Treat
A standard Big Turk bar weighs about 60 grams. One interesting fact about this candy bar is that it's advertised as having 60% less fat than the average chocolate bar. This makes it a popular choice for those looking for a lighter sweet treat.
Other Turkish Delight Candies
While Big Turk is a well-known candy bar with Turkish delight in Canada, it's not the only one! Another Canadian candy bar that used to feature Turkish delight was called Jersey Milk Treasures, but it was stopped around 1980. However, you can sometimes find other imported Turkish delight products, like Fry's Turkish Delight, in special shops.
