A Confection From The 50's/60's.

[Tilly2]

When I was a child/teen, I used to buy a pack of darkish coloured toffee which was very chocolaty in taste and had a white stripe-like filling in the middle. It was a slab and had to be broken in order to eat it. It took some chewing and lasted ages. It was lovely!

Can anyone remember what that toffee was called? I have just looked on Walkers Toffee website and there's nothing there.

Chocolate split toffee, you could also get banana and raspberry flavour. It wasn't made by the mainstream companies more often local businesses.

[Jackdaw33]

Was it not just called chocolate toffee?

[gness]

It wasn't McCowan's banana split toffee, Tilly...though I think that was yellow and not white...x

Now I'm thinking I do sort of recall the chocolaty tasting one....I can see it but not bring the name to mind...x

[Tilly2]

Chocolate toffee/chocolate toffee split don't sound just right although the description is correct.

I can taste it now!

Like banana split but not bananary. Definitely chocolaty

I never knew you cared tilly xxx

[gness]

Tilly....I'm tasting it now too....and I didn't like it but I know just the bar you mean....x

[Tilly2]

It's on the tip of my tongue...

Now I can picture it as well as taste it. (Can't see a name though.)

It came wrapped in a packet...

Was it treacle toffee?

[Tilly2]

No, Patsy. It wasn't. That would have been easier to remember. :-)

[gness]

It was the very, very dark and not shiny toffee I think, Tilly?

[rowanwitch]

Not a nonsuch either, maybe paynes

[Flonska]

Would it be similar to Fry's Chocolate Cream?

[rowanwitch]

No it was toffee that was made with cocoa in the recipe, so all the chew and buttery texture of toffee with a strong chocolate flavour. It came as a plain slab or as a sandwich with a layer of white toffee in the middle.

[Tilly2]

Was it called Chocolate Toffee Split?

[Jackdaw33]

You never seem to see toffee bars these days, only chews.

[rowanwitch]

Thornton do a chocolate version of their special toffee, it's evil

My friend says Birds ... or maybe Palm Toffee? Came in small wrapped bars and had a strip of banana flavoured something running through the middle. That's all I know.

[tonyav]

Yes, I had forgotten about Bluebird toffee. Usually had a toffee hammer with it.
