“Oh Gosh I LOVE that stuff”, I just found myself saying outloud, jumping up from the computer and grabbing another big hunk of V Chocolate’s Almond Toffee. It’s addicting stuff, that’s for sure, I even have to hide it from myself.
I recently visited V Chocolates newest retail location in the former Norwalk furniture store just south of the Fashion Place Mall in Murray, UT (East of the Macaroni Grill). It’s such a great location – tons of visibility and a quick on and off of State Street or I-215 to get there for a quick fix. They haven’t filled the whole former place with chocolate goodies, but it is a large location, and it could be temporary – I’m not sure. But what I do know, is their toffee is to die for.
I purchased a large box at the Utah Chocolate Show earlier this year, and had a nice chat with a couple people in their booth. I think they thought it rather funny I was such a huge fan. The 1lb box didn’t last long. I just keep chipping away and chipping away until it was gone and I wanted more. Perhaps it’s that bitter sweet crunchy combination. Hmmm.
So if you’re in the area, swing by and pick up some chocolates. You’ll be glad you did. Are there any other V Chocolate fans out there?
The coating on this toffee looks very interesting. Can you describe it? It looks like milks chocolate with almond dust maybe? I just made 3 huge batches of toffee last month. I prefer them dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in chopped almonds, but the presentation of these toffees is very intriguing with the large chunks of almonds inside; a lot of textures to explore.
The chunks of nuts on the outside (almonds also) were much larger than they look in the above photo. I always make a mess when I break off a chunk to eat (the box comes with two large pieces that fill the box). Inside the toffee are full size almonds, and the toffee is wrapped in chocolate. If I could make this stuff myself, I think I’d be in a hurt of trouble with my waist-line.
Thanks for the comment!
