What it is
Iris is the milk toffee that generations of Russians grew up with. It is made by cooking sugar with whole sweetened condensed milk. This crystallised (tirazhenny) kind is softer and slightly grainy, so it melts on the tongue rather than sticking to the teeth. Yashkino makes its slivochny ("creamy") iris to the classic recipe, with condensed milk made to the Russian GOST standard. It is the plain, milky original, with no nuts or chocolate.
The bite-sized pieces are easy to share. Keep a few in your bag or desk drawer, or put out a bowl with tea and coffee. The flavour is gently sweet and milky rather than cloying.
