See, I'd always assumed that the crunch filling inside Maltesers was some sort of biscuit - but then I suddenly realised that it doesn't look like any biscuit I've ever seen. My whole world was crashing down around me as I realised I have no idea what the material inside Maltesers is. It doesn't taste like honeycomb, it's too light to be biscuity, but it's not like a breadstick either - what on earth is it?

Its honeycomb. Malted honeycomb.

I always thought it was something like sponge toffee or something.

Rather than relying on the amassed knowledge of this forum, a quick search of Wikipedia would have found the answer.
