Brandon Weimer of Brandini Toffee

“In 2006, a young toffee-maker (based in the greater Palm Springs area,) Brandon Weimer, and family friend were presented an opportunity to go on a class trip to Italy during their sophomore year of high school. Challenged by their parents to earn half the cost of their trip, they accepted, and Brandini Toffee was born.”

“With unwavering optimism, they sold their toffee to family, friends and the community. Within a few months the two surpassed their funding goals and enjoyed a well-earned trip to Europe. Since then, the company has grown into a business committed to quality and community.”

“Founded in the Palm Springs area, Brandini Toffee is enjoyed by chocolate-lovers and toffee aficionados around the world, and is the first toffee company to receive the coveted gold sofi Award from the Specialty Food Association. The family owned business has become a featured favorite on Oprah Winfrey’s O List, The Martha Stewart Show, The Food Network and Brandini Toffee has even been served to a President of the United States.”

“The company is dedicated to handcrafted toffee created with premium, preservatives-free and GMO-free ingredients.” Brandini Toffee also crafts Toffee Popcorn and Cashew Almond Toffee Popcorn. Ice cream treats include a Toffee Milkshake and a Dark Chocolate, Hand-Dipped Toffee Ice Cream Bar (with vanilla or chocolate ice cream.) There is also an exclusive Toffee Brownie.

“This is the recipe that has led to four Brandini store locations, a fast-growing wholesale segment, and shipments world-wide.” The newest store location (and the first outside of the greater Palm Springs area) is in Westfield Century City.
