nkm toffee

kennyogrady

I have an elderly relative (86 yrs old) from Louisberg, Co. Mayo and she recently told me that, as a child, she would pay a ha'penny for 6 NKM toffees. She claims these were the best toffees she ever tasted. I am resident in the UK and cannot find these toffees anywhere over here, but I would love to get my hands on some if they are still available as my relative's birthday is approaching! I found an old advert board that stated NKM Irish Cream Toffee was produced by the North Kerry Manufacturing Co. Ltd, I've also seen them mentioned in memoirs dating back to the 1930's. I don't have much hope that they are still in production, but wanted to try as this relative is really difficult to buy for. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers

ps: does anyone know what NKM stands/stood for? Cheers

I'd guess that Nkm stood for North Kerry Manufacturing..


Also Butlers do Irish Cream Toffees, they might be similar.

The company seems to still be in business, I didn't find a website but they were listed on another. Maybe check the phone book if nobody here knows.
