It makes this box of thin sticks perfect for nibbling and sharing. Matchmakers are part of the QUALITY STREET family.  QUALITY STREET was originally made in Norwich, and is now produced in Halifax in Yorkshire. Matchmakers are made Newcastle in the North East. The heritage of QUALITY STREET began when everyone’s favourite chocolate selection was created by the Mackintosh family in 1936.  John Mackintosh had a successful confectionery business, driven by his wife's invention of a new, delicious kind of sweet - chewy toffee.  This toffee soon became a firm favourite, and the business grew sucessfully when Harold Mackintosh inherited it from his Father. It was then that the QUALITY STREET brand was born, inspired by the J.M. Barrie play of the same name, the brand became synonymous with quality in confectionery and took it's place in the nation’s heart. The multicolour jewel like wrappers, the pop of the tin, and the smell and taste of the unique assortment of iconic chocolates and toffees mean QUALITY STREET remains a central part of family celebrations both in the UK and around the world.
