Jeddart Snails

Dark brown toffees which ‘taste of the sweetness of brown sugar blended with the richness of real butter and flavoured with mild peppermint.’ They are rounded into a curve, with one end formed into a blob for the head and the other flattened for the tail. The recipe is said to have been given to a Jedburgh baker by a French prisoner-of-war of Napoleonic times whom he had taken into his employment.
