Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee

Dave's Sweet Tooth began in 2011 when Andrew Chmielewski turned his father Dave Chmielewski's home-kitchen toffee into a business. Based in Harrison Township, Michigan, the company grew from the popularity of Dave's recipe after his career as a Detroit firefighter. The family maker emphasizes handmade Michigan production, consistent batches, and purchasing ingredients to match orders so its toffee keeps the character that first attracted customers.

Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee

Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee keeps the maker's buttery almond toffee center and gives it a darker, semi-sweet chocolate finish. Crushed almonds complete the coating, creating a straightforward chocolate-and-nut confection without a fruit, cereal, or spirit addition. It is a useful comparison point if you already enjoy milk chocolate toffee and want a different coating flavor. Although the name says dark chocolate, the ingredient statement includes whole milk solids and butter, so this variety is not dairy-free or vegan.

Flavor & Texture

• Buttery almond toffee with dark chocolate coating and crushed almonds.
• A semi-sweet flavor profile within the maker's classic range.
• Listed sizes are 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz; check current variant availability.

Pair a few pieces with coffee or tea, serve them on a dessert board, or crumble a small portion over a plain dessert just before serving. For a tasting, keep it in a separate labeled bowl from the milk chocolate variety. Chocolate blocks and loose almonds pictured with the candy explain the flavor combination; only the package selected above is supplied.
