Almond Creme Toffee

Many have copied this signature product of Idle Isle Candy

but it has never been duplicated.

In approximately 1935, some 14 years after the opening of the Idle Isle Cafe and Candy Company, David H. Call, the candymaking partner of the Idle Isle, began taking the "Melba", a plain vanilla center, dipped in chocolate then rolled in roasted and chopped peanuts, through the steps of evolution to the delightfully exquisite taste and texture of today's world-famous "Almond Creme Toffee."™

Ever-mindful of the development of new and higher quality candy making ingredients, as well as processing techniques, Mr. Call always ensured the ingredients and techniques he used in his candy were of the finest quality.

He also ensured that the young assistant he hired in 1971, his partner's grandson, learned not only the proper use of ingredients but also the candy making techniques not commonly used by today's high-volume, and sometimes low quality, candy makers. That assistant would eventually purchase the business, upon Mr. Call's retirement, and is the current owner of Idle Isle Candy Company.

This flagship creation of the Idle Isle Candy Company has been shipped to every state in the Union, gone overseas as a part of the Utah Delegation's representation of Utah Products, for presentation to the Queen of England, the Premier of Japan, and was also included in the gifts to the leadership of China when President Richard M. Nixon opened the doors of trade with that country. Several Presidents of the United States have also been given this product by their friends and associates.

We are certain you will enjoy the soft, creamy toffee center, dipped in decadent milk chocolate, then hand-rolled in our in-house roasted and sliced almonds known as 'Almond Creme Toffee'™.
