On Thursdays in November and December Mamie's Toffee will have a Pop Up Shop inside AlphaGraphics Wheaton from Noon- 6:00pm

We encourage all Chamber members to stop by and try this amazing home made toffee and other scrumptious treats.

And once you try it, you will buy it! Sold in convenient sizes from 1lb box, 1/2lb box or 1/4lb bags.

It is the perfect teacher's gift for all their extra effort this year.
And treat your stylist or barber . . . even the postal carrier or Amazon driver.
Don't forget to get a box for your secret stash too!


Our current promotion is our Mamie’s Classic Trio. 1/4 lb of Toffee, 6oz Peanut Brittle and 10 Tiger Butter cups for only $15 (A $17 Value)
 
We will also have our packaged chocolate creams available 3/$10

The Origins of Our Original Recipe

Mamie's Toffee began out of personal turmoil and has grown exponentially since its inception. We are a small Candy Company focusing on quality ingredients and original recipes. You can find us at local craft shows, pop up events and concessions.

In 2010 we had a rough year with lots of ups and downs, but we were not going to let it get the best of us!  We can't thank all our friends & family enough for all the good wishes, prayers, help with the kids and cars throughout that year.  It means more to us than you can ever know. However, when we came to a fork in the road financially and as many other Americans have done, we came up with what we think is a very creative (and yummy) solution.

Our toffee is produced following or exceeding all of the health department’s guidelines. Due to those guidelines we are unable to offer samples at this time, you will just have to trust us it’s that good! At all of our local events we strive to maintain a generous social distance, provide hand sanitizer and do everything to keep our staff and customers safe.
 
We like to switch things up and with the holidays approaching you will find new and unique treats and gifts on our table each week.

www.mamiestoffee.com
The Origins of Our Original Recipe

Mamie's Toffee began out of personal turmoil and has grown exponentially since its inception. We are a small Candy Company focusing on quality ingredients and original recipes. You can find us at local craft shows, pop up events and concessions.

In 2010 we had a rough year with lots of ups and downs, but we were not going to let it get the best of us!  We can't thank all our friends & family enough for all the good wishes, prayers, help with the kids and cars throughout that year.  It means more to us than you can ever know. However, when we came to a fork in the road financially and as many other Americans have done, we came up with what we think is a very creative (and yummy) solution.

Our toffee is produced following or exceeding all of the health department’s guidelines. Due to those guidelines we are unable to offer samples at this time, you will just have to trust us it’s that good! At all of our local events we strive to maintain a generous social distance, provide hand sanitizer and do everything to keep our staff and customers safe.
 
We like to switch things up and with the holidays approaching you will find new and unique treats and gifts on our table each week.

Dec 29    Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Committee Meeting

During 2020 we had discussions around the topic of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Before the year ends, we’d like to invite you to another conversation around DEI at 11:30 a.m. next Tuesday, Dec. 29, via Zoom. 
 
We are creating a DEI Committee for 2021 and we’d like to do some brainstorming around the topic. Some of you have expressed interest via our DEI survey; some of you said, “Not right now, but keep me posted.” So this does not oblige you to be part of the committee. Rather, it’s a conversation around what a DEI committee will look like and what the mission of the committee would be in coordination with the Chamber’s mission to:
  • Promote business
  • Enhance economic development
  • Serve as a catalyst for improving the quality of life in the community
Date: December 29, 2020
