Walnut Whips from days of yore

[Carol Anne]

Can anyone remember who made the walnut whips that were bought in the 1960's? Seem to recall they came in a clear cellophane wrapping, are these still around today?

you can still get walnut whips, but they have a blue packaging now

[JulieEve]

I seem to remember they were Duncan's Walnut Whips

Yep..duncan walnut whips..julie.(:)

[boobesque]

maybe its my age, but for me they've always been nestle!

[Jules001]

can't help with who made them, but had one a while back and they are much smaller than the olden days (I'm not that old honest!) and quite a disappointment, I couldn't get my tongue in to get to the goo inside.

They originally had a walnut at the bottom of the goo as well as on top... now I'm showing my age!

I liked the coffee ones

We were certain they were Duncans too, (they went out of business for a long time from the late 60's until about ten years ago when the name suddenly re-appeared.) I don't remember the walnut inside but my mother does.

Haggisdj - I've always thought I imagined the walnut at the bottom so thanks for that!!

[Carol Anne]

Thanks y'all, it was of course Duncans originally, 'til rebranded twice, over the years. Had a Nestle one today,it tasted the same but my how it's shrunk!

M&S sell their own and their not bad.

I don't want to put anyone off but years ago when the walnut was in the bottom of the walnut whip, my sister found a grub in her nut (so to speak!) Just after this they stopped putting the nut in the bottom and started putting it on the top.
