Light Up Your Bonfire Night with Sweet Treats and Spirited Sips

Light Up Your Bonfire Night with Sweet Treats and Spirited Sips

As the crisp autumn air settles in and fireworks light up the night sky, Bonfire Night is the perfect occasion to gather with friends and family, enjoy the warmth of a fire, and indulge in some delicious seasonal treats. One such treat, steeped in history, is the humble toffee apple.

The Sweet History of the Toffee Apple
The toffee apple, a British favourite, dates back to the early 20th century. It was invented by confectioner John Hector, who first dipped apples into a golden, sticky toffee coating in 1908. The idea was simple yet irresistible: crisp, juicy apples encased in a crunchy, sugary shell. Over the years, it has become a Bonfire Night staple, combining the natural sweetness of apples with the indulgent caramel flavour that evokes memories of fairs, fireworks, and festive gatherings.
