Caramac is a sweet treat with a special caramel flavour. It was first made by a company called Mackintosh's. Today, another company, Nestlé, makes it. Caramac first appeared in the United Kingdom in 1959. Its name is a clever mix of "Caramel" and "Mackintosh".
A similar sweet coating is used on the McVitie's Gold biscuit bar. In 2005, a special Caramac Kit Kat bar was released. People loved it so much that it came back in 2007. In 2015, Caramac also launched a version with small, button-shaped pieces.
How Caramac Got Its Name
The name "Caramac" was chosen in a fun competition. This contest happened at the old Mackintosh's factory in Norwich, England. A person named Barbara Herne won the competition.
Where Caramac Is Made
Caramac bars were made at the Norwich factory until 1996. After that, the production moved. Now, Caramac is made in a town called Fawdon on Tyneside. It is still made there today.
What Caramac Is Made Of
Caramac bars have a light brown colour. They are made using sweet condensed milk, butter, and sugar. Different flavours are also added to give it its unique taste. Each Caramac bar comes in a bright orange-red and yellow wrapper.
