They're just a chocolate shell with a hole in it that is filled with a softer chocolate and then capped. Easy peasy. Can be made in a factory. But still feel fancy somehow - perhaps because of the marketing? Or maybe the decadence. anyway they're cheap because they're made in a factory, as all things should be it's like Factorio - if you don't have a production line set up for a certain type of good, then you are not manufacturing that type of good, and it is not available. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/29 --- ═══════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: veganism, discussion of non-vegan foods │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @user-5 It's still best to make vegan food without substitutes.
