Our Story
THE TOFFEE SHOP
From our little shop in Cumbria, on the edge of the beautiful Lake District, we produce confection renowned far and wide for its distinctive and heavenly flavour.
Since 1910, The Toffee Shop has been dedicated to producing the world’s finest handmade fudge and toffee, with a carefully guarded secret recipe – and a passionate pride in what we do.


“Would you believe that there is a fudge so good that strong men weep if deprived of it and otherwise scrupulous people creep through darkened room at dead of nigh to steal another morsel!”
- Harpers & Queen
“It’s difficult to describe the sensation of eating the Fudge… It’s absolutely amazing.”
- In Britain
“The best Fudge in England.”
- Jancis Robinson
“At The Toffee Shop in Penrith, they make a fudge that is hailed by aficionados as the best in Britain, described variously as similar to tablet, though not as hard, smoother and less sweet; sublime, glorious, velvety, buttery, with a flavour that explodes in your mouth.”
- The Times
“Easily the best Fudge in the world.”
- Lord Lichfield
“There is a moment of delicious anticipation when you bite into a piece of the fudge. Your mouth waters and then, bang: your pleasure receptors erupt, your cheeks flush, your eyes sparkle and your heart begins to race.”
- Country Life Magazine
