Brandini Toffee

I first tried Brandini Toffee Christmas morning during a raid on my Christmas stocking. My husband, Dale, had been raving about “this toffee” he had discovered and I was thinking..oh yeah sure, you’ve just got a sweet tooth!!

Well have I ever been most pleasantly surpised! The toffee is melt in your mouth delicious and we’ve already gone through the whole container…you can’t eat just one piece!

We will definitely be taking a supply back to Canada to wow our friends and family. Thank you so much for such a wonderful product.

Occasionally, Brandini Toffee is lucky enough to be a featured item on woot.com or wine.woot.com and their blogging community has shown us much love. Here are a few more comments that we’ve found…

Orgasmic happiness throughout our office has just hit a fever pitch. Our delivery just delivered, Poppers have popped, and I’ll be surprised if the bag lasts until 5 when we go home. I’ve already hidden the rest to be selfish.
THANK YOU TOFFEE KIDS!!!!!!!!

Just got my delivery and “popped” open the poppers. Love the new packaging! Makes it much easier to shove my hands in there with out getting all dirty. And I’m sure the resealable feature would be nice…if I could stop eating long enough to try it out. Brandini is the best!

I know the feeling. Thankfully, mine was delivered before it started snowing here.

I really love the new packaging for the poppers. Much more classy than the plastic bag I never had to worry about resealing them before; they were always DEVOURED the same day as the delivery.

Almost wished I bought more, because the poppers are already half gone.

Comment from the Brandini Recipe Challenge…

Recipe: My favorite Brandini Toffee recipe is to open up the bag and/or tin in a quiet lonely location and stick my hand in, take out a piece of the crunchy loveliness inside and hope that no one else is around as I pop it in my mouth. (I find this works well on an airplane too.) The important thing to remember about this recipe is to put your hand in again and get another piece right after the first one.

Leah and Brandon, I have to tell you how much I LOVE your toffee. I took some to work this morning and have some left at home (not much). I just got it last Saturday at the Long Beach Harvest Festival. I will be attending the Del Mar festival as well on October 23. Will you be there? Because if you will be, I’m definitely going to buy more toffee. I don’t recall if you make only one kind or have a variety. You guys have the BEST toffee ever! I’m so glad you gave me a sample. That clinched it.

I hope you’ll be in Del Mar. Otherwise, how will I ever be able to get more?

A post on Wine.Woot during Brandini Toffee’s Woot-Off – 9/22/10

Seems to me what we need here is a pound of toffee and a nice wine to drink with it – maybe the TyTanium/Toffee package!

GENIUS.

I was too late to get in on this (I’m a teacher and was on my way from my last class of the day to a meeting, and couldn’t get my phone to load it in time), but I’d rather wait for an all-toffee offering, as well.

Of the three, my favorite was the regular toffee, then the bites, then the bits. I’d love either a sampler pack (with those three plus poppers to try), or JUST the toffee (or toffee and bites). But toffee + a tried and true red wine? Spectacular. (I’m sure it would probably be a logistical nightmare for the good folks at w.w, though.)

I took the three-pack from last winter to my parents’ house for Christmas and shared with them. I thought my dad would give me The Look when he asked how much it had cost and I told him; instead he looked at me thoughtfully and said, “These would make nice gifts….”

Never underestimate the power of excellent toffee.

Where did you first try Brandini Toffee? How do you like it?: …I wish I tasted one…not yet! Next time i USA for vacation, I’ll come to visit and take home with me a sample of everything…can’t resist to toffes and can’t resist to have candy box with my name on it!
Good luck kids and god luck to your younger sister and brother. God bless the BRANDINI all over the world!

Take care,

Excerpt from the blog “Palmabella’s Passions”:

I can’t say enough about these two clean-cut, poised, enthusiastic young people. They gave us toffee to take home, and we bought some for a hostess gift (that it is VERY unlikely will go past our kitchen and tummies). They have even added a coffee bar to their shop. I will be back…again and again!

Here is a link to my blog. Have a great vacation! See you in September!

The Toffee Kids on Food Network’s Chefs vs. City Friday July 23rd.
Go here to see when it airs in your area.

Food Network Chefs Aaron Sanchez and Chris Cosentino go head to head against Palm Springs Chefs Tony DiLembo & Thomas Hogan at the Brandini Toffee shop. Brandon and Leah scrutinize their work and give the final word when their tasks have been completed successfully. Don’t miss it, the drama is hilarious!

It was a fun day with Aaron Sanchez and Chris Cosentino from Chef vs. City. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this fairly new show on Food Network, it is Amazing Race meets culinary practices. Two Food Network chefs compete against two locally known professionals; in this case, Tony DiLembo and Thomas Hogan from a well-known Palm Springs hot spot, Tropicale. The first destination on the chef’s maps was Brandini Toffee in Rancho Mirage. Family and friends attended to cheer on the contestants. It was a fun and exciting day for all of us in the Brandini Family.

Chef vs. City meets Palm Springs airs July 23rd on the Food Network. We can’t wait to see who wins the competition!
