Ka whakaranua ngä momo tae, ka kuhuna ki te pouaka hei hoko i roto i ngä toa.		 How Smarties are Made.
Smarties have a chocolate centre. To make the centre, chocolate is taken from a storage tank and melted. The melted chocolate is then poured between two very cold metal rollers. The rollers squash the chocolate into round shapes. These are cooled and the edges are smoothed off. The chocolate centres are now ready for the coloured coating.
Smarties come in eight different colours. All the Smarties are coated in sugar, syrup and flour. The Smarties are dried to stop them sticking together. Then each Smartie is coloured and polished to make it bright and shiny.
The different coloured Smarties are mixed together and packaged into boxes to sell in shops.
