About Toffee To Go

 

Lisa and Jim met in May of 1985 and soon realized one of the many things they had in common was their love of baking.   Jim has spent over 20 years in the hotel/restaurant industry and loved to spend time in the kitchen, learning from many wonderful chefs.

During the holidays, Jim and Lisa baked cookies and handmade almond toffee for friends and neighbors.  It wasn’t long before their toffee became a popular topic of conversation around the holidays, and many of their friends hoped to be included on their Christmas toffee giving list. In 1997 a friend suggested the couple sell their incredible handmade toffee. 

Jim and Lisa first started selling their toffee in 1998 to friends who had their own holiday gift giving needs.  That year, Lisa also started selling the toffee at local Christmas boutiques.   To their surprise, the first year they sold over 125 pounds of their incredible handmade toffee.  The next holiday they were asked back to every Christmas boutique, and many new clubs and organizations were asking them to display their toffee.

Jim and Lisa realized in 2002 that the demand for their toffee was getting too large for them to continue to sell out of their home.  They decided to incorporate and expand into a commercial kitchen.   Again it wasn’t long before Jim and Lisa realized they needed more then just the commercial kitchen; they also needed a packaging area as well as a larger shipping area.  The couple moved into their first commercial location in July of 2004 and opened a small retail shop.

With the incorporation in 2002, and business thriving, the couple knew their delicious toffee was more than just a treat for the holidays.  After adding two new packaging options, they quickly moved into the corporate gift segment, selling their toffee all year long.  Soon pharmaceutical reps, automobile dealerships and title companies realized what a wonderful and easy gift the toffee could be all year long.  Back then, Jim and Lisa did all the packing, along with the gift enclosure cards, and then shipped it anywhere in the country.  They took the worry out of gift giving.

In early 2003, Lisa created a two-ounce party favor box with personalized inscriptions on the box.  This is a great party favor for weddings, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, and graduations. 

Whether customers need holiday gifts, business gifts, corporate gifts, or party favors, Jim and Lisa have a delectable selection of toffee available. Jim personally oversees the cooking of each batch of his family’s toffee recipe.  They take pride in the fact that there are no preservatives added to their toffee. Lisa and Jim love the candy business; they are ready to serve you at Toffee to Go!
