May 13, 2019
Another Endangered Species chocolate review – actually, two of them. Why do I keep coming back to this brand? Well, there are a lot of varieties (more than 15 flavors in chocolate bars alone) to get through. But more than that, they always provide a consistent, good tasting chocolate. And I can find them everywhere.
Tcho Bites Toffee & Sea Salt Chocolate Discs
December 9, 2018
It’s my personal mission to bring chocolate just about everywhere I go. Doesn’t matter if it’s a casual visit or a formal evening, chocolate is a welcomed gift. If it’s shared right away, I have the pleasure of discussing flavor and texture with the recipient(s) as well as learning what they think about it.
In a recent trip over to a friend’s house, I took a bag of Tcho Bites - Toffee and Sea Salt chocolate snacks. They are round bite-sized wafers of toffee coated in organic 53% cacao “dark milk” chocolate.

Never Fail Toffee
November 21, 2012
Toffee is defined as a confection made by means of caramelizing sugar or molasses together with butter, and sometimes flour. You heat such mixture until the temperature reaches the hard crack stage of 300 to 310 °F (149 to 154 °C). While being prepared (soft crack stage), toffee is sometimes mixed with nuts or raisins, and in this case, almonds.
The origins of the term “toffee” are not known. However, food writer Harold McGee claims that it was "from the Creole for a mixture of sugar and molasses", but which creole word isn't specified. Quick fun fact, a restaurant in the Cayman Islands is so famous for its sticky toffee pudding they named the street after it.
Here's the recipe! Make it and have it! Share it with friends and loved ones, or be selfish today and have it all to yourself. Haha! It's always your call.

People who were little children in the 70’s and partly the 80’s known exactly how delectable toffee could be, especially its mouth-feel.
