        Nestle is launching a new version of the Walnut Whip - but without the famous nut on its peak.

              Doesn't their online shop say?
              This https://www.britishonlinesupermarket...ip-3-pack.html would suggest yes, but I don't know how accurate/up to date it is.

                  I couldn't believe that Nestles (as they always used to be known -and Rowntrees stuff has never been the same since they we're taken over) removed their's but they did!

                        Out East we can still buy walnut whips at the Co-op made by Hadleigh Maid, a local confectionery maker. I'm not that keen as their version includes the imitation 'imitation cream' that I enjoyed as a child in the fifties (nineteen for the avoidance of doubt). The kind of cream that found it's way into cream buns, another long lost delicacy.

                          At my age it’s good still to have nuts!

                              The ones I've had had mallow in them and that's what it says on the website as well. Imitation cream as found in buns etc has a longer life than fresh but still too limited for items such as the walnut whips?

                                HP breakfast biscuits were lovely.

                                Is there anything similar?
