Big Turk is a chocolate bar manufactured by NestléCanada, that consists of dark magenta Turkish delight coated in milk chocolate. The 60-gram bar contains 4 grams of fat, which is advertised as 60% less fat than the average chocolate bar.[1] It is typically found in a red, white, and blue striped package (blue on top, white in the middle, and red on the bottom). The ingredients in the big Turk include sugar, glucose, modified corn starch, milk ingredients, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, artificial flavors, citric acid, soya lecithin, colour, salt.[2] Even though peanuts are not an ingredient it is advised that the bars come in contact with machinery that also processes peanuts.[2]
The other Canadian chocolate bar featuring Turkish delight, Jersey Milk Treasures, was discontinued c. 1980.
