Individually shaped and no nuts, B.T. McElrath's ginger toffee does’t look like what most Americans think of as toffee (which is actually almond buttercrunch). We love it!

An Oldie But Goodie
Farrah’s Harrogate Toffee, from England, is a rich, brittle, buttery toffee with a hint of lemon oil. It is reputed to be the Queen’s favorite toffee...although it never hurts any company to start rumors like that. Made in Harrogate since 1840, the company claims to be the oldest toffee in the British Isles.
