Toffee Crisp chocolate bar, as sold in the UK (September 2006)

The Toffee crisp bar is a well known chocolate snack (not biscuit) which is produced by Nestlé in the United Kingdom. It consists of puffed rice embedded in soft toffee and shaped into a cylinder, the whole bar being covered by milk chocolate. The Toffee Crisp (shown as the Toffee Crispy, though it was the same product) also appeared in a Red Dwarf episode entitled Bodyswap. The Toffee Crispy was dispensed from a talking food dispenser machine instead of the ship exploding due to a wiring fault.

History

Toffee Crisp chocolate bars were first produced in the United Kingdom in the 1963. The bars were originally made by Rowntree’s of York, but in recent years are now made in a factory in Castleford in West Yorkshire. This factory first opened in 1970.

Information

The bars are sold in a bright orange wrapper with the words "Toffee Crisp" written with rounded lettering, bright yellow in colour with brown shadowing taking up most of the front. The texture of the bar is varied with the chocolate coating and the filling. A typical Toffee Crisp bar contains 13.5 g of fat, 9.5 g of which is saturated and 228 calories (11% of an adult's Recommended Daily Amount).
