People Loved Her Toffee So Much, She Had to Start a Business

What happens when a family recipe is so good that people refuse to stop asking for it?

For Katie Becker, it turned into a business.

In this special Restaurant Hoppen segment from Hurrdat and Yelp's Omaha food event at the Kiewit Luminarium, Dan Hoppen sits down with the owner of Tasty Good Toffee to hear how her grandmother's holiday recipe grew from a family tradition into a full-time candy company.

Katie inherited the recipe from her grandmother Louise 24 years ago. She originally made the toffee for the holidays, shared leftovers with coworkers and gave it to friends. Then people started asking for the recipe. Then they started asking to buy it. Eventually, that seasonal tradition became a hobby business, which became a full-time operation producing toffee in Crete, Nebraska and supplying more than 50 business partners around the country.

Today, Tasty Good Toffee offers a growing lineup of flavors, from classic milk chocolate pecan and dark chocolate sea salt to churro, s'mores, peanut butter, ghost pepper and seasonal creations. Katie says her mind is constantly spinning with new toffee ideas.

The story gets even more special when Katie talks about her children, who have grown up around the business and now help with deliveries, packaging, marketing and selling at events.

This isn't just a candy company.

It's a family legacy.
