70’s butterscotch sweet ?

[KangarooKenny]

Does anyone remember an oblong shaped butterscotch sweet in a gold wrapper in the 70/80’s ? It looked a bit like a butter portion.

I do!!! The foil was a bit textured??

Damned if I can remember what they were called or who made them

Yes, that’s right !

Keiller's.

Yes, yes I do!

so I can help by assuring you you're not imagining it, but no idea who made it or what it was called!

someone will be along soon that can tell us I'm sure!!

<clears throat, points to previous post with eyes>

Yes they were Keillers. My grandparents used to have them in a bowl on the sideboard mixed with Nuttall’s Mintoes. About 1973. Happy memories 😊😊

Ohhh I loved them. Sometimes, if they'd become a bit too warm, they became a bit gooey and stuck to the wrapper.

I remember them. We always got one from the butcher when we went shopping with my mum.

Callard & Bowser made the individually wrapped ones. They were my favourites as a child.

Definitely Keiller’s Butterscotch, my grandma had a sweetie jar and used to buy pick and mix from Woolworths and there were always some butterscotch in there

@Ihaveamagicwand oh I loved those, the way they came out of the packet fascinated me as a child, they did treacle too if I remember rightly in red foil🤔😋

Definitely keillers. They were lovely.

My dad used to work in the Keillers factory in Dundee.
I absolutely LOVED those sweets.

They were my thing

Callard & Bowser - maybe it was regional? I'm in the south.

Oh I loved those!

Yes! The gold wrapping! My grandad used to have a jar of them and would sneak us one when we visited <happy times>

I was thinking about the butterscotch sweets I used to eat as a child just yesterday. This was the 90s though and they were wrapped in a blue foil and also just as you describe like butter portions.

I was looking for the thread on discontinued sweets to post about Callard and Bowser's, both the butterscotch and the nougat, same shape surrounded by ricepaper and then silver wrappers inside the rectangular package the same shape as the butterscotch.
Fallen foul of the habit of companies to buy out another with successful products and then drop them.

Hi OP I just happened to be googling these sweets and found this thread. From googling, PP's are right and they were called Keiller Butterscotch. My mum used to take library books to elderly ladies and they used to give me these The wrappers were part of their charm.

There are a lot of places that claim to make stuff that tastes similar. Maybe we should all buy different ones and give ratings.

@Treaclemine Apparently this company claim to do the butterscotch you mention championreeves.com/product/butterscotch/

I remember them Kier butterscotch, gold foil wrapper.

Zombie thread

I remember them Kier Butterscotch sweets. Wrapped in Golden Foil.

I do remember them Kier Butterscotch, wrapped in Golden Foil. Made i think by Callard & Bowser.

Oh yes! I loved it! Didn't they also have a black treacle one? I am sure I remember that one.
