Polly Waffle is a chocolate confectionery bar that originated in Australia. It is known for its unique combination of marshmallow filling, wafer, and chocolate coating. The Polly Waffle has a long history and has been a beloved treat for many Australians.

History[edit]

The Polly Waffle was first created in 1947 by the Hoadley's Chocolates company, which was later acquired by Rowntree's. The bar quickly gained popularity due to its distinctive texture and flavor. In 1988, Rowntree's was acquired by Nestlé, which continued to produce the Polly Waffle until it was discontinued in 2009.

In 2019, the South Australian confectionery company Robern Menz announced plans to revive the Polly Waffle, much to the delight of its fans. The company aimed to bring back the original recipe and packaging, maintaining the nostalgic appeal of the product.

Composition[edit]

The Polly Waffle consists of three main components:

Marshmallow filling: The core of the Polly Waffle is a soft, fluffy marshmallow, which provides a sweet and chewy texture.
Wafer: Surrounding the marshmallow is a crisp wafer, adding a crunchy element to the bar.
Chocolate coating: The entire bar is coated in a layer of milk chocolate, which complements the sweetness of the marshmallow and the crispness of the wafer.

Cultural Impact[edit]

The Polly Waffle has been a part of Australian culture for decades. It is often associated with childhood memories and nostalgia. The bar's discontinuation in 2009 led to a significant public outcry, with many fans expressing their disappointment and calling for its return.

The revival of the Polly Waffle by Robern Menz has been met with enthusiasm, as it represents the return of a classic Australian treat. The Polly Waffle's unique combination of flavors and textures continues to make it a favorite among confectionery lovers.
