Toffees

I have been craving toffees of late. But I only like the hard toffees, Penny toffees from the Quality Street tin being my favourites. Unfortunately these can't be bought seperately so i'd like a good alternative please.

I only like hard toffees the type that takes a filling out and not fudge like.

Any suggestions please

I adore hard toffees too. If im bought a box of choccies those are the ones that go first.

The only thing I can think of is the bags of chocolate eclairs. The hard toffee with a little choccie in the middle.

For plain toffee, Walkers Nonsuch toffees or Thorntons plain.

Lately I've become seriously addicted to Dominion Chocotoffees, which come from either Aldi or Lidl - can't remember which. Anyway, it's a big white plastic bag with beige stripes. Dark chocolate covered toffees.
Beautiful sweets.

I used to love toffee. Up until a couple of months ago.

My mum used to make it when I was a kid. Was awesome.
But I'd never really eaten it since then, and then earlier this year my better half bought me a packet of Thornton's toffee.

Oh. My. God. Was just too delicious. And I mean that literally.
I had cravings for it for weeks. So she bought me about £20 quids worth for a Valentine's gift. I've never been so happy.
So I ate it all. In about a week.

Now I never ever want to see or smell a toffee again.

So, yeah, I'd recommend Thornton's toffee (various sorts). But don't be tempted to O.D like I did. I feel sick just writing this. I've destroyed something that was beautiful and special with my gluttony. That is why it is a sin.

Remember Toffifee? There was a nut in them, I think. We used to have them at Christmas in the 80's/90's.
