Everton Toffee Pretzels

Pearlee — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 01:28:45 GMT

M68828. This new item was presented today and all the choices are now only available on waitlist. The story of the toffee that coats the pretzels is fascinating. It dates back to the 1750s (pre American Revolution,) to the town of Everton England where a woman devised a delicious toffee recipe (see the video).

@dulwich Do you know that village and have you had the toffee?

@rockygems123 That was indeed a cool story about the toffee. It also brought back to mind the old QVC days when Q had so many unusual, not-found-locally things to sell.

@Pearlee No can't help with this one - all I know about Everton is their football team.

Us Londoners do not 'stray' 'oop North' where Everton is located lol.

Believe it is located near Liverpool only been that way once actually to Liverpool when DH was on Boxing Board of Control to see championship fight- did not check out Everton toffee though wish I had!

@dulwich Thank you for your reply.🙂 Of course if I went to England my foremost desire would be to go to Liverpool on the tour of Beatles habitats/places and of course see MACCA's house he grew up in and composed Beatles songs.

LOL @ "oop north." Well, at least you've heard of Everton. There are thousands of places you could ask me about in the USA that I've never heard of!

@Pearlee I just know you would do all those 'Beatley' things.

Liverpool, from memory, was fine - people were great - my biggest memory is meeting Leon Spinks the boxer whose fight we went up to see - and he had no front teeth! Now there's a memory!

@Pearlee I'm so glad I saw your post b/c I don't watch many food shows on QVC but I'm ordering the pecan choice. I know it is on waitlist but they look delicious so I'm willing to wait for them whenever they ship.

Re: Everton Toffee Pretzels

Pearlee — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 23:44:33 GMT

@DJs mom you are welcome. I hope you listened to the video because, although I like pecans, I didn't like when the vendor said the pecans give a "smokey" flavor, which she did not say for the cashews.

I'd have ordered if they weren't on waitlist because I too think they look really good. Much as I love nuts I'd have gotten the just- toffee choice. 🙂

@Pearlee I did watch the video and heard the vendor say that but didn't pay it any mind. Hopefully I will love them.

@Pearlee FYI the original toffee pretzels are back in stock. My pecan ones are preparing to ship. Yay!

@DJs mom 🙂 I just ordered! I'm going to thank you because it was really nice of you to let me know, but my hips and thighs do not thank you!😄

@dulwich If these are fabulous, we'll let you know so you can add Everton to your itinerary if and when you can ever travel back home again!

@Pearlee I have ordered so much sweets from QVC this year. I ordered the Landies chocolate & pecan pretzels (1st time order) a few weeks ago, I loved them so much I immediately ordered another box to be shipped next week. I also have 2 boxes of Totally Chocolate peppermint bark in holiday shapes being delivered next week (I ordered these last year under the brand Saxon and they were absolutely delicious, so I had to get 2 boxes this year) and a box of Enstrom toffee being shipped next week. Talk about hips & thighs??? Even the vet told me to cut back on feeding my little shih tzu b/c he gained a few extra pounds at his visit last month. I guess I give him too many treats. I told her it is quarantine weight. LOL

@DJs mom I had a tub of that Enstrom's toffee -- it was so good!

It was so hard to ration that out and not eat half a dozen pieces per day. Best toffee ever.

Re: Everton Toffee Pretzels

DJs mom — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 14:43:16 GMT

Enstrom is the absolutely best toffee I've ever had. I always order the tubs, but I have the 2lb slab shipping next week (I still have some left of my tub from earlier this year). I plan to crush up the slab pieces in my mini chopper and sprinkle over vanilla ice cream. Yum

@DJs mom

We are in Colorado where Enstrom's is made, agree it is the best! It takes so much willpower not to go to their metro Denver store in Arvada (pre covid); we try to wait until holiday season. I order from QVC now as the price is better!

We lived up north in Southport for about 3/4 of a year. Loved it but the winter was brutal, we'd go down to London to warm up lol. Countryside beautiful up north, Lake District etc.

@rockygems123 But isn't the weather also brutal in winter in Colorado? 😄

@DJs mom Did you ever get your pretzels? Mine have been "in processing" for a long time!

Re: Everton Toffee Pretzels

DJs mom — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 15:09:39 GMT

@Pearlee no I have not received them. The EDD was 12/10/20, but they have not shipped, they are still in process. I see they are on WL again so I'm not even sure if they are truly "in process".

Re: Everton Toffee Pretzels

Pearlee — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 05:48:50 GMT

@DJs mom I just noticed that my delivery date has been moved up into January (had been 12/14)
