About Mama LoPresti
I grew up cooking in the kitchen from the time I could see over the counter. I loved watching my grandmother bake bread, make candy, make pies, and I would help her as much as I could. Our family life revolved around the kitchen, where my mom was the savory cook and my grandmother was the baker. Family gatherings and holidays were a time filled with fun, love and food, a tradition that I'm now sharing part of with my candy.
The Way We Do Things
All my candy is made to order. I don't make anything ahead of time because freshness is just as important as the ingredients. The caramels are cut and wrapped by hand. The toffee is made in small batches, hand poured and coated with chocolate and nuts. It is then broken randomly into pieces and packaged for shipping.
The Ingredients We Use
My grandmother taught me that the best ingredients make the best candy. Find what you like, and go with it, she said. For over six months I searched for a vanilla that would really stand out in my candy. I finally found one that I absolutely love. I use real butter, heavy cream, and good chocolate. I think you will agree when you try our candy, that the ingredients make it truly delicious.
Shipping for Freshness
Our candy is made to order. Be aware that even though we offer overnight shipping, it will still take a week to make your candy. We currently ship within the United States and to APO/FPO's.
