    Advantages Advantages Probably the best toffee on the highstreet.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's very bad for you... but it's still lush!

This is not one of those rock-hard, perfectly shaped, mass produced products you ... more

The business has remained in the Thornton family and it is only recently that the first non-family CEO was appointed. But over the course of the last century that family has been responsible for turning one small confectionary store ... more
