I love flavoured toffee, my local pound store used to sell bags of mixed toffees which were banana, strawberry, mint and normal toffee in one bag, but i haven't seen them for quite a while now which is a shame. Yes Cadbury makes toffee eclairs which are toffee with a chocolate centre, love those too.
That's right, it was the Cadbury Eclairs that we tried. Yes, those were good!
Lovely toffees and my favourites liquorice and treacle which reminds me of bonfire night when I was a kid, I think when they refer to toffee being an eclair it's when they have a different centre in the middle
Those two flavors are fantastic! We didn't notice anything in the center, but maybe that's where the banana flavor was coming from.
i enjoy all those toffees trouble is once ya start ya cant stop,and yes in some parts uk treacle toffee is eaten on november the 5th bonfire /guy fawkes night
I think I could easily eat through one of the small bags!
I can't recalled if you've tried Basset's Liquorice allsorts or not but they're delightful , i've eaten all those flavours of toffees and my favourite was the liquorice ones , looking forward to your next film , see ya
Hi John, yes we have tried them. Ross really appreciated the coconut ones and of course I like just the plain liquorice!
I don't usually like liquorice but love liquorice toffees and also blackcurrent and liquorice sweets. Flavoured toffees is lovely - banana split sounds good. M&S do a mixed bag of mints with a mint toffee included and some other really nice mints - buttermints especially are nice.
We still have some blackcurrant and liquorice to try. That sounds promising for Ross since he didn't mind the liquorice toffees. We have buttermints here though not sure if they are the same. At first they almost seem chalky, but they're actually very soft and buttery.
@@FinnLovesFood I wonder if the blackcurrant and liquorice sweets are the same as the ones I loved as child - they are hard but go soft/gooey after a while. Hope you like them anyway. It's always nice seeing you both appreciate foods from the UK.
@@ruth1231 we'll find out. 🙂Looking forward to this unique combination,
I enjoy all those toffee's but treacle is my absolute favourite, traditional on bonfire night but available anytime. 😁
Yes, the treacle flavor is so good!
I haven't had that brand.I think there's a few different walkers companies. I like all those flavours. Treacle toffee is my favourite. My dad was a tovil treacle miner, I have the picture to prove it.
Maybe we can visit a treacle mine when we come to the UK! 🤣😁It would be easy to fill up on treacle toffee.
Sadly ours closed many years ago. There might be some still going somewhere. I never bought it as Herbert because my grandmother's neighbour used to make it.
Hi both ,I found THIS and thort YOU may be intressted, Donal skehan visits the home of walker's shortbread /this morning (walker's shortbread -our story .Take care and all the best.
Thanks Shane. We do love Walker's shortbread and fortunately it's easy to find here.
Walkers non-such toffee! I'm right back in the late 70's/early 80's. Our family had a friend who was confectionery agent who worked directly between sweet manufacturers and retailers. This toffee was on his list. We used to get large metals trays of Walker's toffee complete with a metal toffee hammer to break it up. I don't think shops sell it broken up by the 1/4 lb now as it used to be. My favourite was chocolate covered toffee. So delicious! I'd willingly eat all the above flavours. My teeth would disagree!! Thanks guys and Richard. Great video!!
Thanks! How wonderful to get those trays of toffee! We've seen the toffee with the hammers. Fortunately for our teeth, these were soft - no hammer required! 😁
i love toffee my dad used to make it some years ago i lost him on 18 december😄
condolences for ya loss ,aint easy losing a parent ive lost both mine now , pain never goes away but you learn to live with it .
thank you
We're so sorry for your loss. We've both lost our dads and worry a lot about our moms. It sounds like you have some wonderful memories.
The closest I can get to toffees these days is fudge. Anything else and I worry about my fillings. I might try soft ones but not really worth the risk.
These were soft and not too sticky, but it's no fun losing a filling. Plus, you can't go wrong with fudge!
The liquorice and treacle are cooked at higher temperatures than the regular toffee as the added ingredients add more moisture, so it has to be cooked off.
I cooked this toffee when I worked for Walkers from 1986-2018 in my still hometown of Longton Stoke-on-Trent UK.
I can confirm this.
I would have a hard time staying out of it, it's so delicious!
Hey guys, since when you made a video please you can read a letter about my birthday
HI Miguel, when is your birthday? We've already recorded several videos so it may be a bit late. Watch your mailbox and we just sent a letter.

Hi Guys apparently the industry definition of an eclair as opposed to a toffee is the eclair is generally not quite as firm and chewy on the outside and has a soft usually chocolate centre atb Bill
Hi Bill, we didn't detect a chocolate center, but wonder if that's where the banana flavor came from.
Eclairs have a flavoured centre
It wasn't as obvious as a chocolate center, but that must have been where the banana flavor was coming from.
I feel the same Ross i.e Liquorice 🤮🤮
Have you tried the toffee version? The liquorice flavor isn't as strong.
I'm not really a fan of toffee unless it's soft rather than hard toffee.
@@beverleybrooks8247 these are soft - very nice.
Sadly non of the above, I stay off toffee lost more filling care to remember Ross.
Hi Richard, we can see why you'd want to avoid them. These were softer than we were expecting and not as sticky as others we have tried. Thanks for sending all the different flavors.
@@FinnLovesFood as teenager I used like treacle toffee, Thorntons in its heyday I use go local shop in York get loads their toffee loved it. A miss spent youth might say I did enjoy the éclairs that @keza9217 mentioned. Only toffee I do have dobsons ones sent u as can suck them being hard candy
@@FinnLovesFoodonly dobsons hard candy I sent u bonfires toffee I can have as suck them.
Why do Americans tend to not to like liquorice, is it anything to do with the fact they can't spell it?
I love it, but it is a divisive flavor over here. I go back and forth on the spelling between liquorice/licorice kind of like I always forget whether the spelling is gray or grey. YT does show the red underline for liquorice though!
@@FinnLovesFood YT does the underline for all UK/Australia/NZ spelling (when it differs from US), it's annoying but you get used to it. There may be a way around it.
@@vtbn53 maybe it's a setting.
@@FinnLovesFood Yes but if there is it's awful hard to find.
I'm 73 years old and I've never heard of these sweets! I don't think I would ever try them! Pretty rubbish stuff from my point of view!
We enjoy toffee and the texture and flavor of these were great!
Toffees are far too hard for me
These were actually fairly soft and not too sticky. We have had some that feel like they'll pull your teeth out though.
