From the heartland of America came a recipe for remarkable toffee that was handed down from generation to generation. At Christmas, the kitchen would be filled with the smell of brewing candy and the assembled crowd could hardly contain their excitement before the treat was served. If you didn’t get yours early you might miss out altogether. Each year the amount of candy and number of batches had to be adjusted upward to make sure that everyone got enough and gifts could be bestowed on the lucky few. Mary Butler inherited this gifted recipe for unforgettable toffee and the knack for producing it from her mother. After retiring from a career to stay at home with her children, Mary very generously began making the toffee to share with family and friends during the holidays. She then studied and expanded her repertoire to include the art of producing French and Belgium style truffles and other chocolates. Finally, after her children had grown and left home, Mary started the Carolina Confectionery Company at the urging of family and friends, so that the toffee and other chocolate treats could be enjoyed by her fans and purchased to share with others throughout the year. Now you too can enjoy the sensational flavor, texture, and taste of Mary’s family toffee and other chocolate favorites.
