Werther's Sugar Free Creamy Toffee - 65g

In Britain, Werther's lives on the sweet shelf of every newsagent and supermarket, a quiet regular among the mints and boiled sweets. Nobody makes a fuss about it. It is just always there, which is exactly the point.

Looking for it in Canada usually starts with a craving and ends with someone squinting at a bag to check it is the right one. People want the toffee they remember from home, in the bag they remember, and that is what this is.

The 65g bag is small enough for a handbag, a desk drawer or the pocket in the car door, and it keeps happily in a cool, dry cupboard until someone finds it. One goes in the mouth on the drive to work. Another gets offered to whoever is in the passenger seat, mostly so you can have a second.

It rarely travels alone. A bag of Werther's tends to end up in the basket next to a box of proper tea, a packet of biscuits for dunking and something else from the British sweet shelf, because once you start remembering, it is hard to stop.
