Oh My Fruitful Garden! We were given some of this for Christmas a couple of years ago. This is sooooo good. The comments about it not being a jaw breaker are right on. And the "crumbles" on ice cream are do die for! Now, if our state would just allow us to buy wine on line, life would be perfect.

P.S. Why is "O.M.G." (without the periods) changed to "Oh, my fruitful garden" in "preview" -- and I assume the post?

Thanks guys, I've been waiting for this! It didn't come up in the last couple woot-offs. I just received my Fleur de Sel Salted Caramel Pecan Patties, which will hold me over until this order arrives.

This stuff is so good, I'm fairly certain it's illegal in several states.

I'm so glad to see it back here...I almost had to go out on the street to find a dealer.

mschauber wrote:Wow is this stuff expensive... On their website it would be:

$53.90 *Excluding taxes and shipping

So it's a good deal, but still $35 for 2lbs of toffee?

People are saying how great this is. Any details? Suggesting serving ideas? Good wine matches?



Suggested serving ideas?
1. Make sure no one else is home. This is critical.
2. Turn off phone
3. Ensure a bag of tissues is close at hand
4. Insert chick flick into DVD player
5. Open bag of Brandini Toffee
6. Insert hand into bag and grab a piece of toffee
7. Insert toffee into mouth
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until either
a) bag is empty
b) movie is over

The last time I bought some I ate it straight out of the box, crushed some up and made toffee cookies (DIVINE) and followed the recipe on the back of the Toppers bag for the million calorie chocolate toffee shake. Oh, MY!!

If you have the money and are on the fence - jump over. It's way delicious on this side. Just be sure to send me some thank you toffee for giving you the push!



Wait, toffee cookies?!? Why did no one tell me that I could make cookies with this stuff?!? Do you have the recipe by any chance? I have a box or two left in the freezer from christmas and they need to be eaten. Alas husband does not enjoy toffee much, and theres a little too much there for my waistline to handle. But cookies, now those I think he would eat...

Whoa!! Sitting poolside right now in Indian wells on spring break with the family and this pops up on Woot. I am only a few miles from the mother ship. Dare I stop by and pick some of this up or is it just cheaper to have it shipped to my house? Then again if I go get some now I could be enjoying it here in the glorious sunshine this afternoon. Decisions, decisions.

We are glad to be back for our 4th year! Thanks for having us.

We have a couple of new Poppers coming out this fall.

Toffee cashew & almond Poppers no chocolate. Now most of you probably think that the Poppers are great as they are...however, the majority of our tasters preferred this combination over the original.

The second is a peanut butter toffee coated popcorn with dark chocolate and a touch of sea salt...amazing stuff.

This will be our last woot before the summer heat. So stock up!

Stop by and treat yourself to a Brandini Shake. We are only a few of miles away. Tell the Brandini mom's at the shop that you are a wooter...who knows they may give you the Woot royal treatment.

Hey Wooters!

Leah here! Thank you for all your positive comments and thank you for supporting us throughout our years in business! To everyone who has tried it before, thank you for your continual purchases and I'm glad you like it (I know it can be addicting). Secondly, if you're on the fence about buying it let me give you some suggestions:

The Toppers- Ground up toffee, chocolate, and almonds. Great for ice cream, shakes, baking cookies, chocolate dipped pretzels/strawberries/fruit, on top of cupcakes, or you could just pour yourself a bowl and eat with a spoon! Up to you! I have to admit I've done that once or twice.

2lbs of Toffee- These pieces are hand broken, and perfect for a little sweet treat after dinner....or lets face it, before or even FOR dinner! It can be frozen for up to 6 MONTHS! There are no preservatives in it, and it makes a perfect treat if you are hosting people, or if you need to win someone over it's the perfect bite for those with a sweet tooth!

Hope you enjoy our toffee and ask me some questions! I'll be on here for a while and love to hear from everyone :D

Love,
Leah

I am greatly confused by all these comments about having some Brandini toffee product left over from last time/Christmas. You lot must have some amazing willpower. Since the last Brandini woot, I've had to order directly from their web site (causing my wallet to sob uncontrollably). I'll never make the mistake of woot'ing just one in the future, if I can afford it; this stuff doesn't last at all in my house. =)

If you're ordering this for the first time, you're in for a massive treat!

How long does the toffee stay fresh out of the fridge? Does refrigerating change the consistency or make the toffee weird in any way? I caved and bought it because I was looking at a toffee deal *elsewhere* yesterday. Very excited...!

And what a great story, Leah and Brandon! It's amazing what you guys have done.

At least 6 months in the frig...although we have had others who have eaten a hidden box that had been in over a year...they said that it tasted just as good a the fresh.

OK BW, when it is time to do the taste testing for these you need to send some up to LA! And my folks are here for the holiday and my mom is now telling me stories about your father (Brandon's grandfather of course) from his coaching days with her at the school. She says she wants some of that toffee!

...this stuff was opened at the office yesterday and I tried to crawl into the bag of popcorn; so ridiculously delicious. The toppers (which I'm currently 'drinking' out of a cup on my desk) have the shake recipe printed on the back. A Toffee Topper Shake!!!!????!! I need to go to the gym.

6 months in the fridge and even longer in the freezer? Can I leave it out (on the counter or hidden in my desk) or is that not a good idea? Should it generally live in the fridge? Thanks!

It's fine to keep it out at room temps of 75, but it will get tacky if left out for too many days (especially if humid). If it gets too warm, just put it back in the frig for a few minutes.

Oh! How I tried. Luckily, I have enough willpower to only be in for one.

I finally was able to get some for the first time, in time for Christmas.(Missed it few times prior, or didn't think it would be worth the price since I wasn't a big fan of toffee.) Soooooo glad I was able to get it.

This gem is so worth every penny. The discount of about $20 helps plenty.(Before taxes and shipping.) I have bought some of the toffee from Whole Foods to compare taste, at $25(iirc) per pound, and it was nowhere even close to how good the Brandini toffee is.

Even before I opened the box, people were wanting to have a taste since they expect me to only bring delicious foods to events. How correct they were in thinking so. And how glad I was that Wooters were correct in their recommendation to get this or I would've felt bad for bringing it. Almost everyone loved the Brandini toffee, including some of the health "conscience" people. Some people, non-chocolate likers, felt no difference and thought it tasted like generic chocolate.(Sighs.)

For the most part, the toffee was eaten as is, and I had the toppers on top of vanilla ice cream. It was so awesome with the ice cream.(So going to try the shake now, and can't wait.)

Have to decide if I am willing to share.....

Brandini Toffee gives one of our Facebook followers free Brandini. Next week we will give a bag of the new peanut butter toffee Poppers with dark chocolate and sea salt. We'll call it Labrat testing...or is that against the rules?

Well I took your advice and headed over with the family. Had the pleasure of meeting Brandon's mom Angela. And my two sons had toffee shakes courtesy of the wonderful woman. They were in heaven. Let me be the first to recommend putting some of the dark chocolate toffee on woot. Absolutely delicious. Needless to say I am pushing the big yellow button as soon as I get done typing this. I highly recommend anyone on the fence do the same.

Dark Chocolate!!! However it's a vanilla dark chocolate, so it's not quite as bitter! It's delicious, and my favorite chocolate! It compliments the toffee perfectly!

Speaking about the dark chocolate, are you referring to the new Brandini Bark? I have to admit I ate about 2lbs of it BY MYSELF! Then I went back to school and hit the gym!

I absolutely freaked out when I saw Woot was selling these, I had completely forgotten about them for the last couple years. My grandparents live in Rancho Mirage and I picked these up at a street fair five years ago. The story behind them is that a few high school kids wanted to take a senior trip but had to make the money themselves, they started making this toffee to fundraise and it became massively popular locally and apparently has even achieved Woot status. These are DELICIOUS, in for three
