Part 6/11:
Once the core chocolates are prepared, they are coated with brightly colored shells made from sugar, food coloring, and flavorings like strawberry, lemon, grape, and cherry. These vibrant shells are added in special coating chambers, creating the signature look and crunch of Smarties. The candy shells are then combined with a glossy, crunchy outer layer of cocoa butter, sugar, and milk powder, adding flavor and shine.
Machine automation ensures each Smartie is perfectly shaped and packaged—thousands of pounds are produced daily, wrapped efficiently for distribution. The entire process emphasizes speed, precision, and hygiene to meet global demand.
