Hi! My name is Stephanie Zonis, and welcome to the April, 2002 edition
of "For Chocolate Lovers Only". Each month, you’ll
find recipes, tips, and recommendations on great chocolate specialties.
Chocolate Recommendation of the Month: It’s my guess
that the nice folks at Webster’s Dictionary weren’t thinking
about food when they defined terms like “habit-forming”,
but that’s only because they weren’t confronted with Toffolos
at the time. And what, you ask, is a Toffolo? Mrs. Weinstein’s
Toffee produces single-bite-sized pieces of toffee, then covers
them with milk, dark, or marbleized milk-dark-white chocolate. The
results are shiny, pretty, definitely chocolate, and abandon-hope-all-ye-who-enter-here
compelling. They are of a perfect size to pop into your mouth, and
there’s something about the combination of the crunchy, sweet
toffee and the thick, smooth chocolate that results in disappointingly-empty
packages in record time. I adore the Original flavor, but for the
more adventurous there are also Chocolate Mint or Cookies &
Cream varieties.
But Mrs. Weinstein’s Toffee doesn’t stop there;
they also offer a dark chocolate-covered assortment of almonds,
hazelnuts, and pecans. In addition, they make—more toffee!
You can choose almond, hazelnut, or pistachio toffee, all covered
in milk chocolate. Most of these products come in several sizes,
and I especially like the clever cube boxes for the Toffolos. Looking
for a delightful gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day,
or your favorite college student studying hard for finals? This
company is a fine place to start your quest. It’s easy to reach
Mrs. Weinstein’s Toffee by phone (toll-free at 866-965-0422),
fax (805-965-8123) or at their website (www.mwtoffee.com); online
ordering is available. Just make sure you leave some of those Toffolos
for me!
Do you have a comment, question, or suggestion? I’d like to
hear it. You can reach me at: sdziadwm@nac.net.
Because I receive too much junk e-mail these days, please specify
that you’re writing about something chocolate. Thank you!
