5 Unexpected Ways to Enjoy Toffee (That Go Way Beyond Snacking)

So, you’ve got a box of Sweet P’s toffee sitting on your counter and a big decision to make: do you share it or keep it all to yourself? We’re not here to judge. But if you’re wondering what’s the best way to use toffee, we’ve got a few ideas that go way beyond just “open, eat, repeat.”

Our toffee is handcrafted with real butter, premium chocolate, and roasted nuts — which means it deserves to shine. Whether you’re feeling fancy or just craving a cozy treat, here are five creative ways to take your toffee obsession to the next level.

1. Crumble It on Ice Cream

A little crunch makes everything better. Sprinkle crushed butter crunch toffee over vanilla, chocolate, or even coffee ice cream and you’ve instantly leveled up dessert. It melts just enough to make a caramel-like ribbon and adds the perfect crunch. Think sundae bar, but make it classy.

2. Stir It Into Hot Chocolate or Coffee

Skip the syrup. Drop a few chunks of toffee into your mug and let the heat do the work. The butter and sugar melt into a sweet swirl that turns an ordinary cup into a decadent pick-me-up. Warning: you might start looking forward to mornings again.

3. Bake It Into Cookies

Here’s your secret ingredient for the world’s best cookies. Chop up your favorite Sweet P’s toffee and mix it into cookie dough instead of chocolate chips. The result? Crispy edges, chewy centers, and a buttery flavor that will have people asking for “your recipe.” You can tell them… or not.

4. Add It to a Cheese or Charcuterie Board

Yes, toffee belongs there. A few pieces of our Cashew Almond or Dark Sea Salt toffee pair beautifully with aged cheddar, brie, or even blue cheese. It’s that sweet-salty magic that makes guests stop mid-conversation and ask, “Wait, what is this?”

5. Use It as a Cake or Cupcake Topper

Need to dress up dessert fast? Crushed ruby cherry almond toffee adds texture, flavor, and just the right amount of sparkle. Sprinkle it over frosting or between layers of cake for an elegant touch that makes it look like you spent hours baking (even if you didn’t).

So, What’s the Best Way to Use Toffee?

Honestly, the best way to use toffee is the one that makes you happiest. Crumble it, melt it, bake it, share it  or keep it all for yourself. There’s no wrong way to enjoy something this good.
