FAVORITES

QUOTABLE COMMENTS FROM JUDGES

• This group of samples had so many great toffees -- many with great texture, some with intriguing flavor combinations, and the best had bases made with pure and simple ingredients so that the taste of creamy butter, pure cane sugar, fresh nuts, and a little salt came through. These producers are mastering the art of toffee making!
• Most toffees are good, but what sets apart great toffees is unique and exceptional flavor pairings.
• The Confectionist Pistachio Orange Toffee is fresh, original, unique and perfectly balanced with savory splendor. I'm craving another piece.
• Love the fun packaging used by Fritz Toffee Company. Holm Made Toffee's Cardamom & Vanilla had a very nice balance between the flavors. Enjoyed Holm Made Toffee's White Chocolate Raspberry's fruity and refreshing flavor combination. Who knew that Gingersnap Toffee would be so good; thanks Tennessee Toffee! Loved the caramelly, cotton candy nuances from Naked Toffee's Almond Toffee. The sugar notes sing without the distraction of chocolate.

INDIVIDUAL JUDGES' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHOCOLATIERS

• Some of the entries had nut "dust" on top, rather than pieces of nuts - not so good. Some seemed to have rather skimpy chocolate layers. I really liked the ones that had a touch of salt to balance the sweetness.
• Crack D bad name. Exterior box difficult to open. DGZ box attractive , upscaling to truffle box look but toffee very dry. Fritz toffee, good idea in plastic tall tub but plastic look cheap. Seleuss, interesting upscale tin. Toni’s Toffee looks perhaps too childlike, not sure what it is. Understand unicorn idea for kids. But are children choosing this box? Banyan tree sea foam . Interesting, different. Toffee sticks to your teeth. A bit weird taste, reminiscent of dirty socks. Great packaging. Banyan tree sea foam. Spongy toffee Tomorrow toffee. Dark chocolate. Nice texture. Traditional toffee taste and texture.good, Crack’D. Dear. Seriously pkging and bong issues. Box hard to open. Blk plastic lols like drug desk. Holm made toffee. Texture top too crunchy, taste fake recipe good but cardamom doesn’t work,
• Would suggest that Naked Toffee Co. reduce the amount of lecithin because it makes the toffee oily. The best toffees are taste pure and creamy, with only butter, sugar, nuts, a little baking soda and salt. Also, Holm Made Toffee Co. uses sunflower lecithin and I found it had a cleaner taste than soy lecithin. Naked Toffee Co. might try that if they believe lecithin is needed.
