The chocolate eclair is one of the most enduring toffee sweets in the British pick n mix selection. A hard toffee shell with a soft chocolate centre that becomes increasingly gooey as you work through it. Sweetworld chocolate eclairs are a reliable version of the classic: proper toffee texture, decent chocolate filling, and available in a 200g box that’s good value for regular buyers. The Walkers banana split eclairs are worth trying alongside the chocolate version: the banana flavour works well in the eclair format and it’s different enough from the original to make buying both worthwhile.
Walkers liquorice toffee is one of those combinations that sounds unusual and turns out to be genuinely good. The earthiness of the liquorice cuts through the sweetness of the toffee in a way that makes the overall flavour more interesting than either ingredient on its own. Walkers is one of the oldest toffee producers in the UK and the liquorice toffee is one of their most distinctive products. Worth having in any selection that goes beyond the obvious chocolate eclair.
The sugar-free rum and butter toffee is the standout in the sugar-free side of the range. Rum and butter is a flavour combination that works particularly well in toffee: rich, slightly boozy and warming. The sugar-free version uses sweeteners rather than sugar but holds the flavour profile well. A good option for anyone managing their sugar intake who doesn’t want to give up proper toffee sweets. More sugar-free options are in the diabetic sweets category.
Toffee has been made in Britain since at least the early 1800s. The word itself appears in print from around 1825. The basic recipe, sugar and butter cooked to a hard crack stage, hasn’t changed fundamentally since then. What has changed is the variety: flavourings, fillings, sugar alternatives and different textures have all expanded the category significantly from the original plain hard toffee.
Walkers Nonsuch is one of the oldest toffee brands still in production in the UK. Founded in Doncaster in 1894, the company has been making toffees continuously for over 130 years. The name “Nonsuch” refers to a phrase meaning “without equal.” For the full story behind the brand, the Why Is Walkers Toffee Called Nonsuch? post covers the history in detail.
All toffee products start at £1. Free UK delivery applies to orders over £20. Toffee sweets keep well, which makes bulk buying sensible: they won’t go stale quickly and buying more at once brings the cost per unit down. For a broader traditional sweet selection alongside toffees, the boiled sweets range is worth browsing.
