Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 I love the cinder toffee you used to get in those cheap scoop and save stores tucked away in the back corner, it was much nicer than a crunchy. That said I do enjoy a crunchy, but then I can't think of a chocolate bar I don't like. Quote

I noticed a mass shortage of selection boxes this past Christmas. They were always front and centre up here, but our big Tesco only had two versions, both small and crap and in the seasonal aisle rather than POS when you go in. Was that a thing elsewhere? If it’s the norm, when did that start happening? Quote

What part of Crunchie makes you think it must have honey in? I don't understand your thinking there. Also anyone who has eaten cinder toffee and a crunchie before should know they're the same thing.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Yeah, it’s an unsung hero, not my fav, but defo overlooked. Same as Star Bars as well. I loved them but not typically on the radar. Edited January 27, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Quote

It's probably because it's often called "honeycomb" as well as "cinder toffee". He may have only heard it called the former. I like Crunchies, but the cinder toffee they use in it isn't the best. Best stuff I ever had was this home-made stuff being sold at a traditional sweets stall at a local festival in Yorkshire I went to years ago. Never found anything as great since. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 27, 2018 Moderators Posted January 27, 2018 It's never called cinder toffee. I've never heard of that before this thread. It's always called honeycomb, and whilst I knew it wasn't actual honeycomb it was a reasonable assumption that there was some actual honey in there. Quote

I assume it's just better known and performs better in focus groups because of the association with honey it creates. Quote

You've got crunchy biscuit base, you've got soft mallow, you've got toffee. Lush. Is it my senility kicking in or did they originally have fruit in as well? Quote

I've heard it called cinder toffee and burnt toffee plenty of times. Green & Black even have a bar that has purple wrapping and "Burnt Toffee" written on it. And I've heard Americans call it that too. Could be a regional thing, but I've more frequently heard it called cinder toffee in Yorkshire than I've heard it called honeycomb. Quote

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) It’s cinder toffee. I tried making it once, during a period of folly as a hurricane raged outside. The cinder toffee turned out better than the bonfire toffee, which tasted like an actual bonfire, and the tablet, which was delish but never set. Loki: are you thinking of a Fuse? They were lush.
