Thornton's: Tempting Toffee Lovers Since 1925

Advantages: Probably the best toffee on the highstreet.
Disadvantages: It's very bad for you... but it's still lush!

Thornton's Special toffee is by far one of the finest toffees on the market. It contains no stabilisers or emulsifiers, no E numbers or odd sounding chemicals, just a good, wholesome mix of various sugars, vegetable oils and butter. The result of this is a gloriously home-made feeling product. When you open the packet, you find big, irregular lumps of toffee all stuck together in a large blob. Using your fingers to pry the pieces apart, you are instantly ...
...is not one of those rock-hard, perfectly shaped, mass produced products you wade through at Christmas. When you finally manage to extricate a chunk from the mass (getting your fingers utterly lagged in toffee in the process), you can immediately taste the 80-year heritage behind this Thornton's favourite. Rich, buttery, sweet and dangerously moreish, it feels quite hard and sticky at first but, as your mouth warms it up, the ingredients start to ...

Review of Thorntons special toffee original

Chocolate Eclairs

Advantages: Tastey
Disadvantages: Lose your fillings

...sweets in Tescos. Cadbury Chocolate Elairs are chewy caramel sweets with a milk chocolate filling, and are probably my favourite chocolate based sweets, though the toffee can be quite hard to chew some times which has contributed to one of my fillings falling out. They come in purple packaging (like many Cabury products) with also yellow on it, a bag of these sweets holds about 200g, and costs around £1.50 which is kind of expensive, though for a ...
...The nutritional information for Cabury Chocolate Eclairs is per 100g: Calories 455 Protein 4.7 Carbohydrate 68.5 (of which sugars) 46.2 Fat 18.1 So as you can see they arent really that good for you, though as a little treat every now and again I dont really see the harm, however if you have nut allergies you may want to stay clear of these sweets, also these sweets contain soya and sulphites. ***Also posted on dooyoo under lorrainek858*** ...

Review of Cadbury Chocolate Eclairs

Beware!

Advantages: Tastes nice
Disadvantages: Excessive Diarohea!

This toffee is very tasty - no doubt about it and you hardly even realise it is Sugarfee (I am a diabetic) BUT and this is a very big but..... (ha ha no butt jokes!) anything more than 2 little bits of this and I get diarohea like nothing else! Its awful! sorry maybe too much information but you have to be warned! It does say on the packet that excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect but 2 small chunks is not excessive and maybe I do have ...
...had 4 pieces on a Friday and it was terribly bad I actually had to go home from work.. honestly... that bad! Then on the Monday I thuoght well surely 2 little pieces as big as a 1 penny wouldn't hurt.. but again I got a terrible stomach and while it wasn't quite as bad it was still painful and had me going tot he toilet every 5 minutes for about 2 hours! ...

Review of Thornton's Diabetic Toffe - Vanilla

Not something I will be popping in my pocket

Advantages: Great packaging; ideal treat for on the go
Disadvantages: The chocolate is cheap and nasty

My colleague at work comes in every morning buzzing due to the amount of sugar she eats. I wasn't therefore surprised to find she had been munching on poppet’s all morning and had even bought me a box of 'Payne’s Toffee Poppet’s' - not my favourite of the range but none the less, I was grateful. Poppet’s are old skool retro chocolate which I remember being stashed in my lunch box at school (what would Jamie Oliver say?! :-P ) The design on the ...
...Poppet’s are little chocolate coated balls of either: Toffee; Mint; Orange; raisin or the newest edition of cookie cream. I really think they should invent a strawberry one! They come packaged in boxes of different colours. The old design simply has 'POPPETS' written in bubble writing across the front with CG pics of Poppet’s floating around on the front. The newer ones seem to have photo's of random stuff like rubber ducks, gnomes and jack-in- the- ...

Review of Paynes Toffee Poppets

England's Finest Toffee, + Win a bar of your own! Free Food!

Advantages: Ludicrously tasty, Irrisistable. Attractive packaging.
Disadvantages: I had some problems seperating the bar into sections, maybe they want you to eat it all at once?

(http://grocerytrader.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/100g-bar-original.jpg) Competition information added at ...
