Where it comes from

Chocolate eclairs of this type have been made in Britain since the mid twentieth century, sold in bags and loose, and they remain one of the most recognisable wrapped sweets in the country. The name borrows from the French pastry, sharing only the idea of a filling.

What it's made of

Glucose syrup, sugar and sweetened condensed milk boiled to a chew, extruded as a rope around a milk chocolate centre and cut so each piece seals itself.
