Chapel Hill Toffee

Karen Graves made toffee for her family in her home in Chapel Hill, NC for many years before perfecting her recipe and turning her favorite hobby into her own home-based business. In 2006, Chapel Hill Toffee made its retail debut at A Southern Season, a specialty foods market in the heart of Chapel Hill. In 2008 her son Mark joined the business, followed by his wife in 2015, and finally her other son, Scott, joined the business to make this a truly “family owned and operated business”.  The family takes pride in the fact that their toffee is still lovingly handcrafted in the place where it all began, "The Southern Part of Heaven".  They are also proud that a portion of each box sold goes to Dina's Dynasty Ovarian Cancer Fund.

What makes Chapel Hill Toffee the best toffee? 

Chapel Hill Toffee begins with a layer of traditional English toffee spread thin and cut by hand into bite sized squares. Each piece is coated on both sides with a top-secret blend of dark chocolates. The smooth layers are finished off with the sprinkling of pecans. 

Next, they incorporate pecans throughout the toffee to give it a crispy texture and memorable nutty flavor.  They also give their candy a light sprinkling of chopped pecans as the finishing touch that gives Chapel Hill Toffee its iconic, mouthwatering look!

Finally the toffee is coated with a precise blend of dark chocolates originally formulated in their home kitchen. Karen and her family believe that their unique blend perfectly highlights the buttery sweetness of the toffee center and balances the nutty flavor of the pecan finish!

Griff’s Coffee Toffee brings together sweet English toffee, dark chocolate and pecans and features a hint of smooth espresso. This precise flavor combination creates an exquisite balance of vintage European tradition with a distinctive Southern twist.
