Chest Physicians "Dig in" Toffee

by Justin Post on September 24, 2008

I had my first Brandini Toffee here in the Palisades as a gift from a friend who had been given a little golden bag of it as part of a Goodie Bag she had received at (I think) an American College of Chest Physicians get together in Palm Springs area. On the tag was the Brandini story and web site. I liked the Toffee very much and just ordered it 9/20 (order #1425). Two tins just came today (9/22/08) and I’m about to dig in to continue my very enjoyable experience. I’m thinking that these tins make great “Thank You’s” – so you’ll see some more orders from me soon – and possibly other orders as a direct result of these gifts.

Ask the Doctor

Where did you first try Brandini Toffee? How do you like it?: I was at a conference in California. It was wonderful.

Are you planning any special promotions for Christmas? I would like to give it as corporate gifts. How soon would I need to order to have it in hand by December 1?
