About Toffee

The first publication of the word 'toffee' was way back in 1825, thought to come from the word 'taffy' — both of these are thought to be English dialect and the exact origins are unknown, although food writer Harold McGee claims it to be 'from the Creole for a mixture of sugar and molasses'.

It's also possible that the word 'toffee', originally spelt 'toughy' may have been due to the tough texture of a toffee when trying to eat it.

You can eat all sorts of toffee in all sorts of flavours — rum & raisin, chocolate, vanilla, and many more. It's also used in deserts and to coat apples in the autumn to make a sweet snack that's commonly eaten around Bonfire Night.
