Whatever happened to... Callard & Bowser Dessert Nougat?
Missing nougat!
what happened to the callard bowser desert nougat with glace cherries covered in rice paper and sold in a long box form or tin ??? !!!!
I miss it !!!! It was the best nougat and to date I cannot find a replacement that is even close. All the nougat is no match. I tried many-only to be disappointed each time. My sisters have been doing the same in Aust, Malaysia and NZ.
why isn't callard & bowser making anymore of this lovely nougat ?

Liquorice & Nougat
Made by Callard & Bowser, in rectangular packets/boxes. The liquorice had black and silver wrapping, nougat wrapped in rice paper. About 10 pieces in a packet/box

Callard & Bowser Dessert Nougat
Delicious nougat in a box. About 6 individually wrapped pieces. They had glace cherries and almonds and were wrapped in rice paper. absolutely scrummy.

1. The individual wrapping was silver with an edible rice paper under that - no sticky fingers.
2. They weren't glace cherries, they were rose flavoured jellies.
3. No idea what happened to them, but would like to know.

My grandfather used to buy these for me! Tragically, Suchard, who bought the Callard and Bowser name, have discontinued production of the most delicious sweets ever!! Shame on them!

Actually according to the company's releases, was a decison of the american company Wrigley who make chewing gum and who acquired callard and bowser brand last year. Shame indeed.

I've been looking for these for years. We used to have them every Christmas when I was a kid. Everything about them was just glorious. Yummo! I had a nasty feeling they must have been discontinued so your post about Suchard confirms it. What were they thinking??? No other nougat comes close.

Yes an absolute disgrace. I propose a 'bring back desert nougat' campaign!

i found this delight at hannaford in the kingston area about three years or so ago....but have not found it since.....i keep searching for this....i believe it was considered english licorice toffee...and yes....there were about ten pieces wrapped in that most lovely silver foil...just the sight and the sound of that crinkling paper was enough to make one's mouth water,,,,possible just like pavlov's doggies
