ENSTROM CANDIES
Enstrom Almond Toffee is just one of the cherished, handcrafted sweets to come from Enstrom Candies’ own candy kitchen. This timeless confection is cooked the old-fashioned way, in copper kettles, with nothing but Grade A butter, pure cane sugar, fresh almonds and rich milk or dark chocolate, then sprinkled with a dusting of crushed almonds for that classic crunch.
Folks have been sweet on Enstrom Candies and their handcrafted Almond Toffee for over 60 years. Still a family business, now in its fourth generation, Enstrom Candies has kept to its roots, even as the selection has grown to include fine chocolates, toffee popcorn and ice creams. Each batch is still made at the original factory right here in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Come see what makes Enstrom Candies a family tradition at enstrom.com.
