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 months.
Our caramels have a shelf-life of 6 months. However, once they are opened they will last around 4 week unless they are refrigerated (highly recommended) and at that point they'll last up to a year. If you purchase our caramels in the kraft box, we recommend you store them in a ziplock bag to retain freshness and prohibit crystallizaion.

Our caramels are soy, nut and peanut free! However, we do make toffee with toasted pecans within the same facility.
