Peppermint Crisp

Another treat

Peppermint Crisp is a milk chocolate bar filled with a multitude of thin cylinders of mint-flavoured 'cracknel' (which is a brittle crystalline/sugar concoction extruded in fine hollow tubes). Invented in South Africa by Wilson-Rowntree in the 1960s, it was eventually bought out and manufactured by Nestlé South Africa. A hugely popular chocolate bar in South Africa for many decades, it is now part of that country's culture - not only as a confectionary item, but also as a popular topping used in baking and desserts.

BUT, thanks to complex import rules the SA version is no longer imported into the UK and this one is made in Australia!
