Everton Toffee Pretzels

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.

@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. 🙂
