Great chocolate starts long before our kitchen. We choose sustainably grown cacao and stand behind the farmers who grow it, because the beans that make our chocolate today are only here if those farms thrive tomorrow.

Whenever we can, we gather from California's seasonal harvest, selecting the finest fruits, nuts, berries, and other produce from local farmers markets. Everything is still made the old-fashioned way, by hand in small batches at our Los Angeles atelier, powered by solar-offset energy. It's chocolate made the way it used to be. We think you can taste the difference.

Questions & Answers

Craving a sweet treat that brings joy with every bite? Our English toffee candy is more than just a confection, it’s an experience that wraps comfort, tradition, and indulgence into one perfect piece.

At Compartés, we know how difficult it can be to find a treat that hits all the right notes: the balance of rich, buttery sweetness and that irresistible crunch. That’s why our homemade English toffee candies have become a staple for those who refuse to settle for anything less than exceptional.

What Is English Toffee and How to Enjoy It Best

Classic English toffee is a confection loved for its rich, buttery base and delightful crunch. A traditional English toffee recipe involves cooking salted butter and golden brown sugar until it forms a decadent caramel toffee mixture. This base is often topped with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. The result is a crunchy, buttery toffee that balances sweetness with a touch of saltiness, creating an irresistible treat.

However, at Compartés, we bring an artisan touch to this timeless favorite. Our English toffee candies are handcrafted daily in our Los Angeles kitchen, bringing the best of Compartés in English confectionery to life. We use our signature toffee mixture and high-quality, simple ingredients like rich butter, almonds, and the finest brown sugar.

Each batch is slow-cooked to develop a deep caramel flavor before being hand-dipped in our premium dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips, and finished with a coating of finely chopped almonds for an extra layer of texture and indulgence.

This isn’t your typical store-bought toffee; it’s a luxurious experience. Many call it the best toffee to buy online, thanks to the exceptional quality and care we infuse into every bite. For the perfect pairing, enjoy our toffee with ice cream, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of wine.

And if you’re looking to create an impressive gift basket, include our toffee alongside our chocolate caramel sea salt California bear claws for a sweet treat that will delight any palate.

What is the difference between American toffee and English toffee?

American toffee often features nuts, while traditional English toffee keeps it simple with caramelized sugar, typically made with brown sugar or molasses, and always has a chocolate layer.

At Compartés, we honor this classic approach with our own luxurious twist. We not only add our signature artisanal chocolate but also go a step further, rolling each piece in finely chopped almonds for an irresistible crunch that elevates every bite. Handcrafted daily in our Los Angeles kitchen, our English toffee delivers a rich, buttery flavor that’s truly exceptional, perfect for indulging or gifting.

What flavor is English toffee?

English toffee has a rich caramel flavor with warm hints of molasses and butter. Our recipe at Compartés brings this classic flavor to life with a unique touch. The butter in toffee gives it a smooth, luxurious taste, and our premium chocolate adds a layer of indulgence that makes it stand out. This mix of ingredients creates a sweet treat that’s both comforting and decadent, a favorite for anyone who loves rich, buttery candy.

What's the difference between butterscotch and English toffee?

The main difference between butterscotch and English toffee is the cooking process. Butterscotch is cooked for less time, which makes it softer, while toffee is cooked longer for a hard, crunchy texture. Butterscotch usually uses white sugar, while toffee is made with brown sugar or molasses for a deeper, more intense flavor.

At Compartés, our delicious toffee is crafted with butter and finished with a layer of our signature melted chocolate and finely chopped almonds for a crisp yet creamy experience in every bite.

Is English toffee hard or soft?

Traditional English toffee has a hard, crunchy texture, but not in a way that feels tough to bite. It offers a satisfying, buttery crunch that breaks easily and melts beautifully. Our English buttery toffee is expertly crafted for the perfect balance of crispness and smoothness, making each bite a delightfully layered experience. At Compartés, we pride ourselves on creating toffee that’s rich in flavor with a texture that pleases even the most discerning palates.

Is English toffee the same as peanut brittle?

Though both English toffee and peanut brittle are classic sweets made with butter and sugar, they are distinct treats. Peanut brittle leans more on pure sugar, creating a thinner, crisp texture with a sweet, sugary finish, while toffee’s generous amount of butter in toffee gives it a fuller, richer flavor.

Our branded toffee at Compartés is crafted with carefully roasted almonds and coated in our premium chocolate for an indulgent finish. And for peanut lovers, our peanut brittle, also dipped in our signature chocolate, is a wonderful complement, perfect for gifting or indulging. Both make unforgettable edible gifts that highlight Compartés’ dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
