Kate's Single Batch Toffee

This week we talk to our favorite girl and our local treat dealer Katie of @katestoffee Her story will blow your mind! And her toffee... it's unbelievable. This Episode is exactly what you need!✌🏻

The 2025 San Francisco Chocolate Salon Awards were announced today, and I am beyond proud to share that Kate’s Toffee took home GOLD for Top Toffee in all three award categories!! A few weeks ago, I was so anxious - this was my first year attending and as a cottage food business (yes, I make everything from my home kitchen with no storefront or commercial kitchen), I wasn’t sure how I’d fit in. But the experience blew me away. The community was incredibly welcoming - fellow vendors shared tips, advice, and so much kindness before the event even began. Six jampacked hours later of sharing my Toffee with chocolate lovers later…and here we are. THREE GOLDS. I’m so grateful and so inspired. THANK YOU to everyone who supports me! Here is to sweet things ahead! @taste_tv @thechocolatesalon #katestoffee #besttoffee #handmade #marin #momownedbusiness #toptoffee #chocolatesalon #tastetv #sanfransisco #singlebatch #gold #awardwinning

Over the last year, I’ve been lucky enough to grow from a one-woman business to having an incredible team around me. While I’ve got more hands on deck now 🙌🏻, I still make every single batch and personally package each bag. That’s what makes it Kate’s! Every piece is made with love—and I hope you can taste it.
