    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

Callard & Bowser Dessert Nougat

by michaelp

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. David Konopinski remembers: -

    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.

  5. Simon remembers: -

    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!

  6. Michael remembers: -

    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.

  7. Susan remembers: -

    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.

  8. Simon Harris remembers: -

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