Advantages: small and sweet.

Disadvantages: Poppet in your mouth

OOOh you are a poppet for coming to read my review about Paynes toffee
Poppets.

Paynes first introduced poppets in 1937; they were made in their factory in Surrey. Since my birth in 1954 I have eaten many poppets. These sweets are available in a toffee variety, or a mint, raisin, orange and crunchy one and now a coconut one.

In 2001 [Paynes sold out to foxes sweets in and produced in a Leicester factory they were relaunched in 2003 with a new image the ballsy chocolates, with each variety having a new cheeky persona. The packaging was updated now they are in a black box with bright writing on.

The small box contains 45g of sweets about 20 sweets. Flip open the lid of the box and tap one into your hand, a little chocolate covered oval toffee ball pop it into your mouth suck or chew, the chocolate melts of the ball and the toffee is chewable.
Mmmmm tasty its sweet though. The toffee does stick to my teeth a bit I could if I wished seal the box by putting the flip lid down to stop the poppets rolling about into my pocket.

This box is a good size to have in a coat pocket for delving into when out walking or maybe in the glove compartment of the car, for when you need a sweet fix while driving a long distance.

These sweets are often available in garage shops, supermarkets, corner shops they cost about 45p.

Although small they do contain a lot of calories, 100g of Toffee Poppets contain the following:

Energy 491kcal
Protein 5.3g
Carbohydrate 69.0g
Fat 23.0g

I do quite like these sweets but must admit I rarely buy them.
