That was in the early days, to help stop the chocolate coating from melting in the lunchbox.

Is that it, makes sense. Probably keeps it more fresh that way also. Gosh, I haven't had one of those in a long time. One sounds good right now!

An equivalent snack in the UK is the marshmallow on a thin biscuit, all coated in chocolate and wrapped in foil. I think a variety is called "Choc Mallow".
