Mackintosh's Toffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mackintosh's Toffee is a candy, currently manufactured in Switzerland by Nestle. The product is known widely throughout Canada and is licensed for sale in Canada by Nestle Canada.
Its creator, John Mackintosh, opened up his sweets shop in Halifax, Yorkshire, England in 1890, and the idea for Mackintosh's Toffee, not too hard and not too soft, came soon after. In 1969, Mackintosh's merged with rival Rowntree to form Rowntree Mackintosh, which merged with Nestle in 1988.
The product is often credited with being over 100 years old.
Nestle does not distribute it through the US but one may order it online for delivery.
They are also manufactured and sold in New Zealand by Nestle New Zealand Limited under the "Allen's" Confectionery range.[1]
The toffee is sold in bags containing a random assortment of individual wrapped flavored toffees. The flavors are (followed by wrapping color): Malt (Blue), Harrogate (Yellow), Mint (Green), Egg & Cream (Orange), Coconut (Pink), Toffee (Red). The red wrapped toffees do not display a flavor on the wrapper. The product's subtitle is "Toffee De Luxe" and its motto "a tradition worth sharing".
