Hopeatoffee (Finnish for "silver toffee") is a Finnish brand of candy bar, originally launched by Hellas, with a salty liquorice and toffee flavour.[1] Production of Hopeatoffee started in the 1970s, and the candy was a new innovation at the time, as salty liquorice had not been combined with toffee before.[2][3]
Hopeatoffee was later produced by Leaf International, which produced it until 2009.[4] Because of great demand, Cloetta started producing the candy again in autumn 2013.[5] Hopeatoffee was originally produced as candy bars, but it has later also been produced in candy bags.[6] Nowadays Hopeatoffee is produced in Italy.[7]
The Finnish Salty Liquorice Association awarded Hopeatoffee the Salmiakki Finlandia prize in 2008 as the best salty liquorice product of the year.[8]
