Oatfield Emerald

The Oatfield Emerald is a type of chocolate toffee sweet native to Ireland and is considered one of the country's most popular sweets[1] and one of the "iconic names of the Irish sweet world".[2]

They have distinctive green wrappers.

The Oatfield Emerald has been produced since the mid-twentieth century and exported worldwide.[1][3]

Production moved out of the Republic of Ireland (and the original factory) in 2012.[4][5][6]

The image of the young girl on the original wrapped packaging is alleged to be based on Mountcharles native Deborah Cunningham, taken from a sketch drawn by celebrated artist Kevin Sharkey.
