Sweet sticky toffees​

Oh my goodness, who here remembers these toffees? They would always be at school fetes, birthday parties, community fairs and more. They used to be so popular because they would last for hours and there were so many different toppings that there was a toffee suited to everyone's taste buds! I used to love the 100s and 1000s or desiccated coconut topped toffees (I am salivating at the thought!) When I found this photo, another woman had commented on how much she missed chocolate crackles, coconut ice, and toffee apples as well… Oh my, treats these days just don’t seem to taste nearly as good as they did back then? What I would do to have a toffee, a slice of coconut ice, a chocolate crackle and a toffee apple!

Absolutely remember them and wasn’t there a coin in the bottom of them occasionally?!

@Emmy Im12 oh my goodness I forgot about the coin!!!! You're right, there used to be a coin at the bottom of one!

Remember them, too. Never had one with a coin, though.

Used to love all those. I've never seen a coin either.

I learnt to make toffee, toffee apples, honeycomb and marshmallow to take to school, to fundraise for the missions.
The secret was a think based saucepan, so the toffee stopped cooking as soon as it was removed from the stove.

It brought me back to Grade 2 at the school fete... sweet memories!

Never had coins in mine either!?!

I remember them…..made them for every school fete etc. Never made one with a coin though…..maybe an eastern states thing?
