A small, soft toffee made with condensed milk and butter, coated all over in milk chocolate. The name is for the shape, which looks a bit like a hazelnut, and there is not a nut in the recipe.

Where it comes from
Chewing Nuts are a British sweet shop jar classic, going back to the days when toffee and chocolate were sold loose by the quarter. Kingsway makes them today, and the recipe has not needed changing.
What it's made of
Glucose syrup and sugar with sweetened condensed skimmed milk, butter oil, palm oil, potato starch, emulsifiers and salt, coated in milk chocolate with a minimum of 25 percent cocoa solids.
