Sanctioned By WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Paddy O' Poppycock

OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK:
Toffifay


PRICE: $.???

WEIGHT: 1.6 oz.

DESCRIPTION OF SNACK:
Four pieces of candy, each consisting of "a hazlenut surrounded by a caramel cup, creamy nougat, topped with chocolate".

SNACK LOOKS LIKE:
Game pieces for some snooty British board game where the phrase "bully for you," is muttered frequently over the course of a match.

SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10): 7

 

UPSIDE:

A truly unique tasting candy. The hazlenut is a real nice touch in what would otherwise be a rich man's Rolo. Nice caramel, nice chocolate disk on top. Quality. My mom used to eat these when I was a kid, and she always treated each one as if the Queen, herself, had given them to mum. No one took Mommy's Toffifay unless they wanted to pull weeds in the family garden all Saturday afternoon.

DOWNSIDE:

At the end of the list of ingredients, the following is found: "THE SHAPE OF THE CANDY: ®."

Yep, the shape of this candy is a registered trademark. This is no blue collar candy.

So if you're under the age of 18, stear clear of this "sophisticated" treat. This is a candy that anyone can enjoy as an adult, but one that only the band students would have eaten during junior high lunch break.

1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Sugar
A Blend of Vegetable Oils (I told you this was a sophisticated candy.)
Hazlenuts
Corn syrup

LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Skim Milk
Soy Lecithin
Salt
Natural and Artificial Flavors

PACKAGING:

Very impressive. Inside, each candy is held firmly in a gold foil tray that appears to be4 tiny smelting pots when the candy is removed. Tray is held in a white, suprisingly sturdy cardboard box.

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

Adults only.

I WANT TO STORE THESE SO THEY WON'T MELT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?:

According to packaging, "STORE IN MODERATE TEMPERATURE."

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME TOFFIFAY RENEWED THEIR COPYRIGHT?

©1985. Or in other terms, the same year a-ha released "Take On Me".
