Nashville Toffee Company

Like many happy stories, ours begins with family...

Nashville native George Cohn never forgot the delicious, unique, handmade dark chocolate almond toffee that his grandmother sent to him every year around the holidays. The delicious treat was unlike anything he had ever tasted. It was lovingly handmade by a friend of hers, packaged in a plain white box, and stored immediately in the freezer, hoarded, and enjoyed for as long as he could make it last, which generally was not more than a few weeks.

After stints as a stockbroker, banker, and ice hockey coach, George worked tirelessly with his then-wife, Christina, to try and help her prepare and package candies such as caramel and chocolate barks for sale at a local market. When that didn’t take off, George suggested she try making the candy he so fondly remembered from his childhood - almond toffee - which proved to be an immediate taste sensation. With the realization that the almond candy might just be a hit, he focused his attention there, and the rest is history.

In 2003, Nashville Toffee Company was established as a full-fledged business. As the great-great-grandson of Meier Werthan, himself a successful Nashville entrepreneur, you might say George had business in his blood. And before long, Nashville Toffee Company emerged as a well-known leader in the world of artisanal toffee.

Today, each of our delicacies is still made by hand, in small batches, using only the finest all-natural ingredients. The essential part of every recipe we make: our genuine commitment to freshness and quality, along with an extra dash of grandmotherly love.

Thank you for taking part in our family tradition. We’re honored to share it with you.
