About this dish

Blue Riband is a chocolate flavoured biscuit currently produced by Nestlé. The bar was launched in 1936 by Gray Dunn, one of Scotland's major biscuit producers and a subsidiary of confectionery giant Rowntree's, as a real milk chocolate wafer – a crisp wafer biscuit covered in a very thin layer of milk chocolate. However as of December 2025 it no longer meets the legal definition of chocolate in the UK. They also produced a similar, non coated, wafer called Caramel Wafer. The Gray Dunn factory also made Breakaway. The Gray Dunn factory in Glasgow continued to produce Blue Riband until 1994 when Nestlé closed it down and moved production to Newcastle. Both products came under the Nestlé banner when it bought out the Rowntree's group and Nestlé announced in April 2017 that production was to move to Poland. The current biscuit is smaller than in the past.
