Show 36, July 20, 2013: B. Toffee’s Betsy Thagard

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Adam Bell

B. toffeeB. toffee is a sweet OC success story. Proprietress Betsy Thagard, a Newport Beach resident, perfected the ultimate toffee recipe after much trail-and-error, and B. toffee was introduced in 2009. B. toffee’s original recipe features savory butters, fine domestic sugars, premium Guittard and Callebaut chocolates, and quality pecans.

It’s National Ice Cream Month! On July 27th from 2 to 5:00 p.m. B. toffee will join forces with Whole Foods Market in Newport Beach to host their Summer Ice Cream Social. All the tastes are complimentary.

Guests will enjoy a complimentary ice cream sundae topped with B. toffee’s signature B. bits. Thagard will also be making samples of her B. Frosty shake and providing recipe cards so guests can make the B. toffee creations at home.
