Quality Street is the brand name of a series of candies in the shape of bonbons.

Quality Street was created in 1936 by Mackintosh's firm and named after James Barrie's play of the same name, which was then filmed. Today, Quality Street is distributed by Nestlé.

Quality Street is available in round tin drums and rectangular cardboard boxes. The tins often feature an image of two characters from the play. The main colour is always purple.

Mackintosh Toffee is a sweet made by John Mackintosh.

Mackintosh opened his candy store in Halifax, Yorkshire, England in 1890. The idea for Mackintosh Toffee, neither too hard nor too soft, came soon after. In 1969, Mackintosh's joined forces with rival Rowntree to continue as Rowntree Mackintosh, which merged with Nestlé in 1988.
