Award-Winning English Toffee from Rushburn Toffee is Set to Make this Holiday Season that Much Sweet

It was this holiday season more than 90 years ago that Betty Burns was sharing her famous English toffee with friends and family, a Christmas treat they eagerly awaited. This holiday season, the delectable candy delights “Grammer” Betty gifted to loved ones for decades is available for everyone from award-winning Rushburn Toffee.

The confectionery treat was shared, but never the recipe ??" until given to her daughter Kathy, one year before Grammer Betty passed away in 1993. Stephanie Rush, a San Francisco-based clinical researcher and English toffee fan, learned the recipe from her aunt Kathy and decided to take her grandmother’s treat-sharing to a new level. Today Rushburn Toffee has swiftly grown from a single-kitchen secret to San Francisco Bay Area’s “Best English Toffee,” according to the Los Angeles Chocolate Salon.

Rush took her grandmother’s recipe and developed a whole line of toffee delights, launching Rushburn Toffee as an online retailer with the old family recipe as its roots.
“It’s such a special kind of privilege to be able to carry on Grammer Betty’s holiday tradition,” Rush said. “Christmas was the only time of year she shared her English toffee, and I think she would be proud if she knew how just how far her joys were being spread this season.”
