English Toffee Peanut M&M’s – An Intense Kick of Toffee Flavour

I’ve mentioned before that Peanut M&M’s are the king of M&M’s.  This is a stone cold fact and if you think otherwise, as far as I’m concerned you may as well be a flat-Earther.  That’s how ridiculous your “opinions” are to me.

Peanut M&M’s are delicious.  And of course, English toffee is also delicious.  So I was wondering if plain old Peanut M&M’s time on the throne might be coming to an end.

English Toffee Peanut M&M's

Spoiler alert: it is not.  Regular Peanut M&M’s are still the king.

Still, these are tasty.  As soon as you rip open the pack, the English toffee aroma hits you in the face.  It’s strong.  And the flavour is pretty strong, too; it’s almost overwhelming at first, but after you eat a couple, you get used to it.

I should note that, as far as I can tell, there’s no actual English toffee here, just a flavour in the chocolate itself.  They might have gone overboard with that flavour, but mostly, it works.  The combo of chocolate and English toffee is satisfying, and the peanut does a nice job of adding some nuttiness and balancing out the sweetness of the chocolate.

If the English toffee flavouring were a bit more subtle this might have been something special, but even still, it’s quite good.

Heath – Classic Toffee Deliciousness

Heath may not be the most exciting bar in the store, but with its memorable combination of crunchy toffee and creamy milk chocolate, it’s definitely a classic.

Heath

Heath pretty much defines simplicity: it’s just a flat piece of crunchy toffee coated in chocolate. That’s it. Simple, but good. The toffee is crunchy and somewhat crumbly, with a rich, almost burnt-sugary taste. It has a buttery flavour, with a mild saltiness that helps to offset the overall sweetness of the chocolate and the toffee. The chocolate is decent, and unlike some other Hershey products, it’s still real milk chocolate.

Heath

I’m really not sure what else to say about Heath, a bar that’s been around for just about eighty years. Uh… it’s good in ice cream?

Okay, I think I’ll cut this one short.
