The stick version of a flavour Aldi also sells in two tub formats, and the format changes what the salt does. In a tub the caramel runs as a ribbon and the salt arrives in bursts wherever the spoon meets it. On a stick there's no ribbon to find, so the salt has to be distributed through the centre, which makes it steadier and less punctuated than the same flavour scooped. The chocolate shell adds something the tubs don't have. Salt sharpens sweetness and suppresses bitterness, so a salted caramel centre under cocoa reads differently to the same caramel on its own, with the coating pulled forward rather than sitting behind the caramel.
