Default Toffypops

Gotta luv em!

Haven't had for years but got BOGOF yesterday and now working my way through a packet.

Nibble off the chocolate rim
Scrape the gooey combo off the remainder
Gobble the base.
Repeat as necessary.

Anybody else dabbling in biscuit nostalgia..?

They are FANTASTIC!
The wife came home with a couple of packets the other day. I had them all eaten within the hour. Ever so slightly more-ish

A simply amazing biscuit!!! IIRC they are made by Burtons and I'll get to pass the Sighthill factory tonight on my way home from 5-a-side football. The smell from that place is divine! The only spanner in the works is that moments after passing the smell of sugar and biscuits I pass the smell of those fecking chickens at the bottom end of the bypass!!!! Talk about a conflict of aromas!

Party Rings are another biscuit where you can't help but demolish most/all of the pack when you open it!!

I don't like thought of party rings (when the sugar starts to dissolve, they go a bit odd) but you're right, once started, that's it.
Same with iced gems.

Whole packet last night in bed.

Pop in the Toffypop with the chocolate to the top of the mouth. Use tongue to break it down the middle and fold over biscuit to biscuit. Adjust position and then sink top and bottom teeth onto toffee heaven

With this technique you can do a pack in 5 mins easy.
