I think:

"The same way Brits or Yanks are made. A male and female get together and
- presto! - nine months later a little Malteser appears."

Invalidates your point.

At least mine *is* feasible - it's the way lead bullets were made in the,
umm, whenever lead spherical bullets were used, times.

I'm struggling to choose between:

i) You are Porl and I claim my five failed public belittlings.

ii) *Ginge*

iii) except that doesn't actually answer my question

iv) fuck off Robbo.

So err, take you pick, in fact, mix'n'match

Nope. Spherical lead bullets are called musket balls and were cast.
Lead shot however is made as you describe, in a shot tower.

Dunno about Maltesers specifically but Paynes Poppets (as were) were
made by a process called enrobing. You put the stuff to be coated in a
concrete mixer type vessel and spray fine moulten chocolate on it for
several hours.

Okay, I was close.

I'm surprised the chocolate doesn't start to stick it all together, or to
the inside of the mixer.. but I guess if it did for poppets, it could do
for maltesers.
