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 The bars were originally made by Rowntree’s of York, but in recent years are now made in a factory in Castleford in West Yorkshire.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).
In Popular Culture
The Toffee Crisp is best known for a series of British television advertisements in the1980s/1990s - each ending with the strap-line "Somebody, somewhere is eating a Toffee Crisp".
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.
