Which Toffee is Most Popular?
The most popular style of toffee is English-style almond butter toffee coated in milk or dark chocolate — often sold in the almond roca style — because its combination of butter, toasted nuts, and chocolate has the broadest appeal.

What it means
- English toffee, a hard butter toffee, is the dominant style in the US and is what most people picture when they say toffee.
- Adding almonds and a chocolate coating is the most common commercial format, since the butter-nut-chocolate trio is widely liked.
- Saltine toffee, also called Christmas crack, is a hugely popular homemade holiday variant built on a cracker base.
- Popularity is about broad appeal rather than a single best, so the most-loved toffee is simply the most familiar butter-almond-chocolate combination.
- Kelsy's Kandy makes small-batch handmade almond toffee -- see the shop at kelsyskandy.com.
