The original Mackintosh creamy toffee pieces. A real Canadian treat. Mackintosh's Toffee is a candy, currently manufactured in Switzerland by Nestle. The product is known widely throughout Canada and is licensed for sale in Canada by Nestle Canada. Its creator, John Mackintosh, opened up his sweets shop in Halifax, Yorkshire, England in 1890, and the idea for Mackintosh's Toffee, not too hard and not too soft, came soon after. The product is often credited with being over 100 years old. Nestle does not distribute it in the US but one may order it online for delivery. Give your Mack a smack! One of the most sought after products sold in Canada and other parts of the world with over 100 years of tradition behind it. Mackintosh's Toffee is a golden caramel-like toffee that is a little more chewy than a regular caramel yet not as hard as the American Sugar Daddy sucker. This flavour can not be imitated. However, its consistency depends on the temperature of the surroundings
