Mint Cracknell

by michaelp

Another bar that we think was made by Macintoshes. It was a brittle mint centre (lurid green if we remember right) covered in milk chocolate. Not sure when it went… but it surely did – apparently due to difficulties with production. The fact that it used to cut your tongue didn’t help either!!!

Sounds very similar to Peppermint Crisp, which I used to buy a a kid in South Africa, and which is still available here: http://www.biltong.co.uk/detail.aspx?ID=2728

Still available in South Africa and Australia, I believe. In SA, it’s marketed by Nestle and is called Peppermint Crisp.

Definitely sounds like the South African Peppermint Crisp – which you can buy at any South African shop in South West London. Except when I bought a whole lot for my English colleagues, they found it too weird – maybe that’s why it didn’t last. Pretty sure it is made by Nestle

My favourite sweet ever! I was gutted when they stopped making them. Might be worth a trip to Australia or South Africa just to get it!!
