I’m a toff

Posted by mamster on Saturday, November 3, 2007

Am I the only one who loves Toffifay? I like how the chocolate goes deeper than it looks, and how the bottom looks like plastic, but it’s edible!

“No wonder Toffifay is so popular with more and more people every day!” says the Storck web site. They wish! Toffifay lovers, come forward.

Oh man, yes! Toffifay is great! Americans don’t do hazelnuts in candy as much as they should.

I remember this candy getting a lot of advertising when it was introduced, aimed — unusually — at adults rather than kids. It’s been a while since I saw much TV; is it still much advertised?

I dunno, I skip the commercials. But I would love to see a Toffifay commercial.

YouTube to the rescue!

Oh man, Toffifay is a Christmas tradition right up there with excessive purchases of boxes of Turtles. Not that Toffifays really need to be limited to Christmas; it just happened to be one of those things my mom included with our stocking loots.

They are, in fact, awesome.

I love offering Toffifay to friends and having them ask, “so what’s this?” It’s definitely in the top 5 candies ever.

Absolutely!

It’s hard to find in our area, but when I see I buy it all up! I used to find it a lot easier when I lived on the West Coast. Not so much anymore here in MD.

oregoncoastgirl, do you know the song “Oregon Girl” by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin? If not, you are in for a real treat—it’s on their Myspace page:

Does Steve Almond talk about Toffifay in Candyfreak? I can’t remember. I do remember him talking about hazelnuts in candy and how Americans should eat more, especially in the form of Five Star Bars.

I searched inside on Amazon and didn’t find anything, but I couldn’t tell whether it was saying it wasn’t there or it just wouldn’t let me see it.

Let me see the Toffifay!

I am shocked - SHOCKED - that there is no mention of Toffifay over at Cybele May’s CandyBlog (http://www.typetive.com/candyblog).
