Description
Toffee Crisp is part of the Nestle Cocoa Plan, which works with UTZ to ensure a better future for cocoa farmers and even better chocolate for you.
A bar of delicious soft caramel & crispy cereal pieces placed on a biscuit for an extra crunch, all encased in smooth milk chocolate. TOFFEE CRISP is the crispy crunch, chewy munch that you simply can’t resist! Originally created by Mackintosh’s. TOFFEE CRISP were launched into the UK market in 1963.
The idea for the TOFFEE CRISP bar originated from John Henderson, the great-nephew of John Mackintosh, who adapted a cake recipe made by his late wife Edith for their children. The recipe used a combination of crispy rice pieces and chocolate cake, however when he initially submitted samples to the board it was felt that it needed something more so after further development a soft toffee was added along the top and with its unique combination of textures with crispy cereal pieces, chewy toffee and smooth milk chocolate the TOFFEE CRISP was born.
Initially TOFFEE CRISP Bars were produced at MacKintosh’s factory in Halifax, however in 2012 production was moved to Newcastle where they still continue to be made to this day.
In the 1980’s and 1990’s there were a series of TV advertisements which each ended with the strapline “Somebody, somewhere is have a Toffee Crisp”.
