It was well worth the wait. Rich, crisp and chewy Tungsten Toffee comes in two varieties, Sweet Milk Chocolate and Smooth Dark Chocolate, both of which are dusted with crushed #1 Fancy Pecans. Tungsten Toffee also offers Rocky Mountain Toffee Trail Mix and Toffee Coffee/Espresso Dark Chocolate. (Dad’s gonna love it all.)
