Thank you alc!
do you think sliced almonds would work well with this?

I think it was cinder toffee or honeycombe, all you need is the following:

100g caster sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

place sugar and syrup in a pan and mix together, place on heat and let it dissolve, DO NOT stir the mixture you can swirl it in the pan but do not stir, once it has melted add the bicarb and then mix, it should start to foam, pour onto a baking sheet, i lined mine with a non stick reusable baking sheet but you could use a few layers of cling film, leave to set them break up,
The toffee can go sticky if left out, but i coat mine in melted chocolate after its broken up to make it last a little longer its a bit like a crunchie

thank you for your reply - lots more ideas now

It really depends on what people like:
Pesto sauces (herbs/dried tomatoes)
Tapenade
Muesli/granola mix
Spicy snacks ( I love Nigella's river cafe mix)
Chili or Herb infused oils
savoury snacks (the easiest+cheapest are made with puff pastry&cheese topping or sesame)
homemade pickles are the best!
(if they like sushi they might like pickled ginger)
spice mixes
marinated olives
Chutney&Jelly&Jam

I once had a book about that,the ideas were great but didn't like the recipes
Also I think Nigella had a few ideas on her latest show
(anyone rembers the sweets she made by breaking something into pieces with a hammer?)
