About Us

Friends and family went on and on for years about this wonderful toffee…what a great business it would make….it’s the best they’ve ever had….BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Well, that’s everybody’s story. Here’s ours.

We both happened to be on a business trip with our husbands in Philadelphia when we met in a taxi heading to Independence Hall. We quickly became friends when we somehow got on the subject of chocolate. We both loved chocolate. What are the chances of that?

En route to our destination, our mysterious cab driver let us in on a little secret. He was convinced that somewhere hidden in the museum was the original copy of the Declaration of Independence that John Hancock had forgotten to sign. We got out of the cab thinking “Who cares. Where can we get some chocolate around here?’

Once inside the museum, while the tour guide went on and on about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we ventured off in search of a vending machine. While savoring our candy bars, we noticed a loose brick in the wall. We removed the brick and found an old rolled up document inside. It was just what the driver suspected, but there was more! On the back of the old parchment was his ancestor’s secret recipe… the original Ye Olde Craved English Toffee.

And now it was ours. We put the worthless declaration document back in the wall and replaced the brick. But we kept the recipe. We decided right then and there to share it with the world under the name “The Latest Crave”.

That fateful day would lead us to a future filled with butter, sugar, and of course, chocolate.

That’s our story.
