Mel's Toffee is Super Delicious and Made in Rochester, Michigan!
So, we just recently discovered Mel's Toffee and went a bit bonkers trying all the delicious flavors! Mel's makes all their premium handmade toffee in Rochester, Michigan. (Yey!)
Each bite of their toffee is so crunchy, flavorful and super satisfying. I love that I know every single ingredient that goes into these handmade treats.
- MEL's stands for Michelle, Erin and Lauren (Mom and daughters!). They began as a chocolate covered pretzel company and evolved into an award winning, Michigan made Toffee company!
Mel's Toffee has so many to choose from including
- Gingerbread Crunch-It's a flavor bomb! (my favorite)
- Chocolate Peanut Butter-mmm salty Virginia peanuts! (Chris's favorite)
- Mexican Hot Chocolate (my nephew's fav, he loves a bit of heat!)
- Ballpark Crunch (seriously, who doesn't love popcorn, peanuts and prezels-my brother brother and I fought over this one)
- Sea Salt Pretzel-crunchy and sweet (Chris loves this one too!)
- Maple Bourbon Pecan-reminds us of yummy pecan pie! (mom's favorite!)
- Coffee Stout-Made with coffee stout and Oreos! (another of Dad's favorite)
- Plain Jane (my niece loved this one!)
Mel's even has craft beer infused coffee!
Seriously, I need to stop sharing so much, they are ALL fantastic!
Ready to pick out your favorites? Visit the Mel's Toffee website!
So I thought you needed to see how fantastic each of these HUGE toffee chunks look-as close to real life as we can get, right? How can you not swoon?
Mel's Toffee is perfect for Easter, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas stocking stuffers, a random Tuesday, and well, just whenever you need a happy pick-me-up treat. AND it's made right here in Michigan. I love all of it.
