Welcome to Vern's Toffee House, Home of Handcrafted Butter Almond Toffee Since 1976.

Now Celebrating 50 years!

We are a family-owned and operated business that handcrafts butter almond toffee the old-fashioned way from our original toffee recipe.

We select only the finest and freshest of all natural ingredients--dairy fresh AA grade sweet cream butter, two varieties of wholesome California almonds, sweet western sugar, and smooth, rich milk chocolate. Then we hand-blend these in small batches in copper kettles over an old-fashioned candy stove to insure you the finest, freshest, most mouth-watering toffee available. And, yes, our almond toffee is gluten-free.

Vern's Toffee House is an old-school company that cares about forming long-lasting relationships with customers, takes the time to get every order right, and, of course, makes sure every box, and every bite, of Vern's Toffee is just as buttery delicious as the first. But caution: some people claim it's positively addictive.

TIMELINE

Our Business History

Since 1976 we've been hand-crafting our mouth-watering butter almond toffee with the finest, freshest ingredients and delivering it directly to customers at the best possible price.

Our Original Toffee Recipe Secret is All in the Family

The First Generation (1976-1992)

Our founders, Vern and Gert, perfected their handcrafted butter almond toffee recipe in 1976 and had an immediate mail order success on their hands. Since 1976 four generations of our family have continued in the time-honored traditions that Vern and Gert created.

1976 Original offerings included Almond Toffee with Milk Chocolate, Salty Sweet Almonds, and Toffee Tingles.

1980: Almond Clusters debut

Mary & Ron:

The Next Generation (1984-2012)

As Vern & Gert were experiencing great success with their recipe, what had begun as a retirement project soon became a booming business. Vern & Gert's daughter Mary, and her husband Ron, eagerly joined the business in 1984 to offer their enthusiasm and willingness to work hard. Under their watch Vern's Toffee began to enjoy worldwide success.

1996: the addition of Deluxe Mixed Nuts and Colossal Cashews

2009: Almond Toffee with Dark Chocolate is introduced

Stefanie & Patrick:

The Third Generation (2012-present)

After nurturing Vern's Toffee for 28 years Mary and Ron welcomed their daughter Stefanie and her husband Patrick into the business in 2012. Ron shared with Patrick his wealth of knowledge on how to create the perfect batch of toffee, while Mary passed down her secrets to excellent customer service to Stefanie.

2014: Gift Basket of Toffee and Nuts introduced

2015: Gift Tower and additional Gift Baskets offered

2019: Private Reserve Truffles debut

Katie:

The Fourth Generation (2012-present)

Katie is unique in that she has been around the toffee business since childhood. She was homeschooled in our office and you would be hard-pressed to find an area of our business that she doesn't know. In 2022 she joined her father in the kitchen and became our fourth generation toffee artisan (and the first woman) to hand-stir every batch using techniques from her father, her grandfather, and her great-grandfather.

My family and I have been buying Toffee here for years. It is simply the best. And the customer service is 10 stars. We love this company and love their product and highly recommend them.

Best toffee!! My financial advisor used to gift a box to me every Christmas. When she retired I wanted to order myself, but couldn't remember the name. So I googled and looked at every single image to find a match. After many, many images I found you! Now, I'm a regular customer for gifts.

The best tasting toffee you will ever find. We were introduced to it in 1984 by our real estate agent who sent a box as a thank you. The only problem you will have is finding a place in the fridge or freezer to keep it semi-hidden. As soon as I see it, I have to have a piece (or two)!

Hi to everyone. I love the new website, and the ordering process is easy. I received the free bag of toffee toppings with my order. It did not last long. My husband put some on his ice cream and i just grabbed a handful. Very addicting indeed!! Only problem with ordering this way is I do not have the opportunity to say hello. I will have to alternate.

Vern's Toffee: The best toffee produced by the best people.
Pounds of Vern's Toffee: Delightful to order and even more delightful to receive.
Thanks!

What a treat! My financial adviser gave a box to us for Christmas several years ago and got my wife hooked. So she had boxes sent to her friends. A perfect gift for Mother’s Day.

As always, the product and service are exceptional. We’ve been ordering from Burns for years. Without a doubt the best Toffee around.
