Does anyone remember the toffee which came in a tray with a wee hammer?

I remember them well and I have used those toffee trays as baking trays for years and still have them and at least one wee hammer. Different make nowadays but they are still available, much smaller (of course) and much sweeter because they use that revolting glucose syrup to make it instead of proper sugar. Don't buy them now as they are not as good.
Those were the days of wholesome ingredients and the toffee was really special. smile

Oh yes we used to have one at Christmas - brazil nut - Blue Bird yes.

I think your right. I've just had a look in the drawer as we have a hammer that was MiL's but I can't find it.

I imagine it was called Blue Bird or something similar, but I may well be imagining that.
