Darlingtons

Darlingtons are a type of sweet, soft, and chewy candy that originated in the United Kingdom. They are named after the town of Darlington in County Durham, where they were first produced by the Cadbury chocolate company in 1864. The candy is characterized by its distinctive dark brown color, which comes from the addition of caramel and chocolate. Darlingtons are typically made with a center of caramel surrounded by a layer of chocolate, and they are often coated in a thin layer of chocolate on the outside.

The candy is known for its rich, sweet flavor and its ability to melt in the mouth, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy sweet treats. Darlingtons are often given as gifts or used as a reward for good behavior, and they are a staple in many British households. The candy is also popular in other countries, particularly those with a history of British influence, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Darlingtons are produced by several companies in the United Kingdom, including Cadbury, but the original recipe is still used by Cadbury in Darlington. The candy is typically sold in boxes of 12, but it can also be found in individual wrappers. Darlingtons are a classic British confectionery that has stood the test of time, and they continue to be a popular treat for people of all ages.
