The ground moved. The heavens parted, and I heard angels singing the Hallelujah Chorus in four part harmony.

Okay so maybe it is a slight exaggeration to say that our handmade toffees send you into a life changing spiritual experience. But they are heavenly, and we have been told they taste like Christmas. Christmas indeed.

Imagine for a moment being transported to a more simple place and time, when you loaded up in your family’s station wagon and headed to grandma’s house for the holiday. The excitement is building as you pass through small town after small town dreaming of what might be awaiting you under the tree. A gentle snow begins to fall and sticks to the bare trees lining the roads. “A white Christmas,” you say to yourself. You’ve waited all year for this.

“How much further is it?” you ask your father. He looks at you through the rearview mirror, a little perturbed because you’ve asked that same question 11 times now. Still a smile spreads across his face, because he is just as excited as you are. Nobody cooks a succulent turkey quite like his mom. He needs five napkins just to wipe up the juices that drip off the drumsticks, which she always saves for him. Best of all, this is the only time of the year that he gets to have that wonderful handmade pecan toffee that she makes.

It’s the kind nobody else can make quite right. His momma’s handmade  toffee never tastes store bought. In fact she’d be offended if anyone mentioned it as such.  Hers is softer, richer, and more buttery. The sweet goodness is perfectly blended so that even the most discriminating of palettes will be impressed. Then the car comes to a screeching halt…

He doesn’t have to wait for Christmas anymore. With its three signature handmade toffees, Pecan Crunch, Almond Delight, and Walnut Wonder, The Sweet Shack can deliver Christmas to doorsteps all over the world all year long.
