Toffifee

Toffifee is a brand of caramel candies, produced by the German company Storck. The candy was first introduced in 1973 in West Germany, with its name being a portmanteau of the words "Toffee" and "Coffee", reflecting two of its original ingredients.

History

Storck, a German confectionery company, first introduced Toffifee in 1973 in West Germany. The candy was designed to be a unique, family-friendly product that could be enjoyed by both adults and children. The name "Toffifee" is a combination of the words "Toffee" and "Coffee", which were two of the original ingredients used in the candy's production.

Ingredients

Toffifee candies are composed of a caramel cup containing a whole hazelnut, surrounded by a filling of nougat, and topped with a drop of dark chocolate. The caramel cup provides a chewy texture, while the hazelnut adds a crunchy element. The nougat filling is smooth and creamy, and the dark chocolate topping adds a slightly bitter contrast to the overall sweetness of the candy.

Production

The production of Toffifee involves several steps. First, the caramel cups are formed and baked. Next, a whole hazelnut is placed in each cup, followed by a dollop of nougat. The candies are then topped with a drop of dark chocolate. After the candies are assembled, they are cooled and packaged.

Popularity

Toffifee has gained popularity worldwide since its introduction. It is now sold in over 100 countries, and is particularly popular in Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The candy's unique combination of textures and flavors, along with its distinctive packaging, have contributed to its global appeal.
