Buttery Bliss
Toffees by Valerie Confections
by Laurie Hartzell

Toffee is often associated with carnivals and apples, but this toffee is on the other side of the world from the stuff that gets stuck in your teeth. Valerie Confections in Los Angeles creates their crunchy, buttery, chocolate-covered toffee squares by hand in small batches, and when you bite into one of these babies, you can feel the love.

We cannot say enough about these treats, which come in flavors like almond, orange, mint, fleur de sel, ginger, classic, hazelnut and ginaduja rocher (a mixture of hazelnut and almond paste with toffee bits). They’re elegant enough for any wedding yet homey enough for a night in front of the television—so rich and sugary that, oftentimes, one square is enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. Novice foodies may balk at the price tag of these sweets; at $7 for a two-piece box and $76 for a 24-piece box, they’re not cheap. But believe us, these delicious toffees are so, so worth it.
