The Origins Of English Toffee
Article by Phil Byrne
Some things in life are just downright impossible. Can you keep your eyes open when you sneeze, or not pull a face if you suck on a lemon? Try rushing a piece of English toffee – it simply can’t be done. Like sinking into a deep bath at the end of a hard day, lingering over creamy English toffee is a delicious time-out.
So where did this mouth-watering confectionary come from? Nobody really knows, although according to the Oxford English Dictionary, its name first appeared in 1825. Some claim it links to ‘tafia’, a West Indian rum made from molasses, suggesting that the toffee was once made using the treacly syrup from the rum’s distillation.
In the late 1800s sugar and treacle became much less expensive, making the chewy sweet more popular. Many people in the North of England began to hold toffie parties, getting together with friends to make slabs of this great family treat. Closely-guarded recipes have been handed down through the generations. Plenty of these are now used by family-run businesses, as English toffee remains as popular as ever. Its natural habitat is dark, vaguely mysterious places, such as the glovebox or the bottom of a handbag. Perfect for long car journeys, slow, dreamy English toffee is a miniature personal indulgence while you listen to your favourite CD or a great way to keep the kids quiet in the back.
The most delicious English Toffee is made using only the best quality ingredients. Over the years several varieties have come along. Some manufacturers now stir in hazelnuts and brazils, give the toffee a light dusting of almonds or coat it in smooth, silky chocolate. An American style English toffee has evolved and on 8 January the USA celebrate National Toffee Day. The sweet even has its own little tool – the toffee hammer – perfect for breaking a slab of English toffee into tempting glossy chunks. Even the splinters are delicious.
English toffee makes a perfect present for all ages and, whether you give it in a decorative tin or a beautifully gift-wrapped box, it will always make their eyes light up. The only hard part is bringing yourself to hand it over.
As all toffee coinneusseurs know, when invited to take a piece, choosing that craggy chunk of English toffee is a serious business. Your fingers linger over the box or tin, looking for that perfect sized piece, the one that’s going to make your cheek bulge (the giveaway sign!) You pop the chunk into your mouth, closing your eyes for a second or two and slowly roll it around. Delicious. The rich creaminess begins to melt over your tongue, the luscious flavour pours through. Right to the last dreamy sliver, this is toffee heaven.

woah baby,
:: English Toffee Flavored Liquid Stevia ::
Amazing how intensely rich this is!
It totally tastes like sweet english toffee. How thay accomplish so much flavor in these zero cal little droplets, that’s a voodoo mystery to me. My one complaint is that they don’t give any hints of their tricks to get the english toffee flavor. I know that stevia is already magic in itself for its sweetness power, but wondered about how they managed to get the strong english toffee swing in there. On package label, all they have to say, basically, is “Natuarl flavors”. Unfortunately staying more secretive than I’d have preferred. But I can forgive them that one decision. Since overall: this stuff is a great treat, while leaving your conscience clean on matters of substances in the body.
Ultimate Summertime Cappuccino:

|This one is great – try the others!,
I wholeheartedly agree with the other reviews (why didn’t I hurry and rate this as soon as I got mine a few weeks ago??)! I ordered the Chocolate Raspberry, the Lemon Drop, and this one, the English Toffee. I was used to buying the same brand in the packets of powder, but the health food store was charging like $8 a bottle. The prices here on Amazon is VERY reasonable. I love the Lemon Drop one in my herbal teas, and this English Toffee seems to work better in the coffee. For a nice rich “mouth feel” (like cream but without the bad calories) try cold-pressed Coconut oil, also available here on Amazon. It’s amazing what it does for coffee!! I’m trying to cut back on the soymilk because of excess estrogen level issues, and the cocoanut oil in my coffee combined with these WONDERFL Stevia flavors – I don’t miss the soy milk at all, let alone regular milk!
