Our History
I launched my confectionery business, Toffee Traditions, in 2006 with a recipe passed down from my grandfather, Eugene, who pioneered candy making in the 1940s. Inspired by his craft, I watched him transform simple ingredients into irresistible treats, sparking cherished memories that now define our brand.
​
In the past fifteen years, Toffee Traditions has evolved through various stages of growth.
​
Reflecting on life's direction, I realized my true calling: to carry on my family's legacy as a candy maker. With a renewed sense of purpose, I decided to rebrand and elevate Toffee Traditions into a premier luxury confectionery, transitioning from local markets to a distinguished brick-and-mortar establishment.
​
I eagerly anticipate welcoming you to our new storefront soon.

Warm regards, Kristen
