The wonderful world of toffee, chocolate and dessert.

Name:

Born and raised in Sydney Australia I grew restless and decided to travel the world. While abroad I spent 3 years on Oahu, Hawaii. Towards the end of my time there I met a girl, fell in love, and married her nine months later. After we settled down in Pleasanton California I found myself unhappy with the work I was doing. One day I made the decision to leave my job and start a candy company. I had no business experience, but I truly believed that I had the best tasting toffee recipe. During those early days I would make toffee out of an eight inch pot, and if I wasn’t making toffee I was selling at farmer’s markets or delivering product to stores. Since starting Shaymee’s back in January 2000 the company has grown to include many fine retailers across the country; Fred Meyer’s, Raley’s and Whole Foods to name a few. Our handmade treats are produced in small batches and made to order for freshness. Currently we are working on expanding our line of products to include handmade truffles and flavored nuts; which many of these new items are kosher and organic certified. Our mission is to provide the finest and most unique all natural Australian treats. Sincerely, Paul

Macadamia Toffee Recipe

Toffee Recipe

1 cup salted butter
1-1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 lb bittersweet chocolate
1 lb Macadamia’s – ground

Melt butter and sugar, add water. Boil over high heat till candy thermometer reads 300 F. Pour the toffee on to greased cookie sheet and while it is cooling temper the chocolate by boiling water and placing broken pieces of chocolate in a stainless bowl on top using the heat from below . Stir as it melts but be sure not to melt the chocolate too quickly. Once it is melted pour over the cooled toffee then sprinkle Macadamia’s or any nut you prefer to use. Then once it has set turn it over and do the same to the other side. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
