A bar of creamy
toffee candy. It comes wrapped in clear
plastic inside a
red/
green/
tartan coloured box, manufactured by
Nestlé.
The toffee was developed by John and Violet
Mackintosh of
King Cross, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1890.
Mackintosh's merged with
Rowntree in 1969 and became known as
Rowntree-Mackintosh until being taken over by the Swiss company
Nestlé in 1991.
Most common method for consuming the
toffee is to cool the bar in the 'fridge or freezer, then smack it against a table to break it to pieces. The back of the box recommends this method with the slogan "GIVE YOUR MACK A SMACK!".
It's also good for removing loose teeth.
May contain nut particles.
