A round-up of South County Toffee Treats
The Toffee Candy Crunch Cake from Gregg’s contained coffee flavored whipped cream and Heath bar pieces that were sandwiched between four layers of toffee cake. The whole cake was covered in the whipped cream and the sides were coated in chocolate crumbles. Needless to say, everyone wanted seconds. Locations in North Kingstown and Warwick. GreggsUSA.com

Crunchy, sweet and coated in chocolate, Anchor Toffee’s Almond Butter Toffee was heavenly. The whole almonds nicely complemented the buttery toffee, and the chocolate they chose to coat it with was dark, ensuring a not-too-sweet experience. Available at Sandy’s Fine Foods, 15 Post Road, Westerly. 439-1517, AnchorToffee.com.

Adding sea salt to dark chocolate is always a good idea. Having toffee coated in both is even better. The Sea Salt Toffee from Sweenor’s Chocolates was so satisfying that we only needed to eat one piece. It was rich and buttery with just enough sea salt to pack a punch. 21 Charles Street, Wakefield. 783-4433, SweenorsChocolates.com

Coating popcorn in toffee is the Biggest Little Popcorn Company’s MO. Their Season’s English Spice immediately reminded us of egg nog seasonings: cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice and ginger. It satisfied our holiday cravings. Available at Dave’s Marketplace, 125 Tower Hill Road, North Kingstown. BiggestLittlePopcornCompany.com
