As a rule, we tend to use ingredients that are from sustainably-minded local farms, small producers, and organic farms. We strongly believe these key ingredients make a superior product, so we use local heavy cream, local butter, local maple syrup, organic chocolate and organic cane sugar.
Do you use corn syrup?
No. In fact, we don't use stabilizers of any kind in our caramels & our toffee.

Is your product gluten-free?
Yes, our gluten-free caramel base consists of cream, butter, sugar and lemon juice. Nothing we add, such as chocolate, spices, spirits and apple cider, contains gluten.
How should I store toffee and caramels?
It’s important to store our preservative-free toffee and caramels properly to preserve their taste and texture.
With proper storage in the cooler months, our dark chocolate toffee has a shelf life of approximately 6 weeks.
In a cool, non-humid environment, our caramels will last for up to 4 weeks if kept at room temperature (55º - 65º F). Refrigeration can increase shelf life to 3 months. In conditions of extreme heat and humidity, they can also be frozen and will last roughly 6 months.
Is your product nut-free or peanut-free?
Our caramels are soy, nut and peanut free! However, we do make toffee with toasted pecans within the same facility.
