Handmade English Toffee of the finest quality using only the freshest, REAL ingredients. ONLY REAL butter, sugar, fresh roasted almonds, the least amount of Karo lite corn syrup (for the binding process) and fine quality chocolates are used. I suggest the toffee be refrigerated, although in some stores it is not, it is best refrigerated after purchase.
I come from a Big Sicilian Family so of course it's all about the food consisting of good ingredients, even in the desserts. The family business (American Food Service) in which I grew up gave me the experience I needed through the years to survive in the food world.
My father, JoJo LaBarba showed me the love in cooking and the happiness of watching people enjoy their food which was always made from the finest ingredients. He was all about FRESH and REAL ingredients.
At a young age I worked for the family business (American Produce & Vegetable Co.) at least 12 years, then my father started me in a restaurant/deli, "A Taste of Sicily" where I really learned about the catering business, then I met the man of my dreams (Michael Lalumia) married and had a daughter (Angela). Not long after this I went back to work for the family for a short time until my brother in law and husband decided to open an Italian Restaurant after selling their liquor store, the recipe ideas were endless and we really had fun. From there we went to "WINGS over KAUFMAN" where we started with wings and expanded to burgers, salads and more, then "WINGS over SEAGOVILLE" was born.
I have always LOVED English Toffee and started making it for Christmas gifts when my sister in law (Chena) suggested I bring some to "RAVIOLISMO" she (and her brother Phil"s) handmade ravioli (and more) shop, where I sold it all and got a special order from DISD. That was the beginning of " TEXAS TOFFEE QUEEN ".
I thank GOD who has blessed me with the GREATEST of all things, a BIG BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, and the GREATEST FRIENDS who truly are FAMILY anyway.Thanks also to my Brother in law and husband who have allowed me to experiment throughout the years under their "WINGS" ( Sam & Mike Lalumia,Inc.) !!
ENJOY THE TOFFEE made with love, Nancy
