Curiosity topic 6

I wonder how peanut butter bars are made
To start they make the candy part. they first combine liquid sugar, corn syrup, coconut oil and molasses they mic and heat these ingredients for about 8 minutes.  once they stop mixing they empty the mixture onto a stainless steel table. then they make a pocket in the centre so they can add vanilla extract. after that, they start a machine which stretches the candy none stop for about five minutes. this infuses the candy with air. they then put it on a belt that carries it to the weaving machine. the machines roller flatten the candy into a thin sheet.  the pump draws piping hot peanut butter from a tank and puts it onto a generous layer onto the candy sheet.  workers then roll up the sheet until it reaches a specific diameter.  they fold and place it on a sheet without peanut butter called a blank sheet. the next roller presses the folded roll flat onto a blank sheet. workers roll up the blank sheet sealing the peanut candy inside. workers round up the sheet between 2 rollers and feed it to the rope sizer.   it stretches the peanut butter candy into a rope that's the exact diameter of the chocolate bars centre. the next machine makes a pinch mark every 5 inches or the length of the chocolate bar. the linked centres enter a cooling tunnel.  they exit five minutes later at a rigid.  they pass through a second refrigerated tunnel which finishes cooling them. the centers move into lanes that feed the enrobe. the enrober is like a confectionary car wash.  centers oass through a hot rinse of milk chocolate first. then an overhead dryer blows off any excess leaving behind a three milimeter layer of chocolate.
