Today I’m sharing something really special. My mom’s famous toffee recipe. 💔✨
She made it every Christmas. She was so patient, never leaving the stove, carefully stirring until it reached that perfect golden color. I honestly don’t remember her ever undercooking or overcooking a single batch. It was always perfect.
Me? Different story. I’m not as patient, and I definitely can’t handle doing one tiny batch at a time like she insisted. But she believed small batches were the only way. I was determined to prove otherwise. After burning it, undercooking it, and ruining way too many times… I finally figured how to create my mom’s recipe in bigger batches!
And now, her toffee lives on in our best-selling “Better Than What?!” cupcake. People always ask what makes it so good….the answer is her.
To celebrate my mom and everything she passed on to me — her love for sweets, for people, and for making others feel special — I’m giving her recipe away for FREE. Because good things should be shared… especially the ones made with love. 🤍
I love you, mom. Always!!!!!!

- Sprinkle ½ cup of chocolate chips (any kind you like) over the hot toffee.
- Let it sit for a few minutes until the chocolate melts.
