Toffee

Classification and regulatory status of Toffee

Toffee is a chewy to hard confectionery made by heating a mixture of sugar, butter and milk or cream. During cooking, the sugar components undergo caramelisation, giving toffee its characteristic caramel flavour and brown colour. Depending on the cooking temperature, the consistency can vary from soft and chewy to firm and brittle.

Toffee products FAQs

What variants are available?

Our product range includes toffee creams, pastes, granules and crunches covering a variety of textures, from creamy and smooth to chewy and crunchy. Toffee pieces and toffee flakes are also available for a wide range of applications. For more specialised applications, we also offer bake-stable and freeze-stable variants.

Does toffee always have to contain animal-derived ingredients?

No, toffee does not necessarily have to contain animal-derived ingredients. Traditionally, toffee is made from sugar, butter and milk or cream, which means it contains animal-derived dairy components. However, there are also vegan versions in which butter and milk are replaced by plant-based alternatives such as margarine, coconut oil or plant-based milk. Therefore, toffee can be produced with or without animal-derived ingredients, depending on the recipe and the purpose for which it is manufactured.

What is the difference between toffee and caramel? Can toffee cream also be referred to as caramel cream?

Great question! The term ‘toffee’ is used to describe a soft caramel mass produced by condensing a solution of sugars and/or sweeteners incorporating flavourings and colourings in various forms (‘Guideline for Sugar Confectionery’, issued by the German Federation for Food Law and Food Science – Bund für Lebensmittelrecht und Lebensmittelkunde e.V.).
The terms ‘toffee cream’ and ‘caramel cream’ are both acceptable as customary designations for products.
