does it come with a little hammer? love the stuff but have lost so many fillings to it :-)....enjoy.. *oops I have just seen the tags...no hammer...
OJ says:
Ooh, we have an empty tin of that somewhere from when V used to live in Harrogate.
Can't remember what the toffee's like though. Can you describe?
swamprose says:
It comes with a little hammer sometimes? A tiny toffee hammer? I want one. And the toffee. Good find, H.
hildegard says:
Not very Harrogate at all really - it's as hard as nails. Little toffee hammers merely bounce off its obdurate solidity. If Terry Pratchett made toffee, suspect it'd be on these lines. Trying to break off a mouth-sized piece can burn up all the calories one finally consumes.
"Suck it. Never chew." my dear old toothless Nana's advice...

SR - the really trad UK toffee/ hammer combo was Blue Bird toffee (named, I learn courtesy of a search engine, for Maeterlink's 'The Blue Bird of Happiness'). The makers, Ashbury's, still exist & use the Blue Bird logo but I can't find the slab toffee/ hammer combo anywhere.
Gael says:
I think they have it (the toffee with hammers) in the sweet shop in Grassington - I seem to remember seeing it there with Viv when we were stocking up on Kendal mint cake, Yorkshire Mixture, etc. last summer
Walker's has boxed toffee with a hammer. It will give you an excuse to do an independent taste test!
