Valerie Confections - Vendor Profile

Valerie Confections

With partner Stan Weightman Jr., Valerie Gordon launched the Los Angeles company in July 2004, concentrating on six flavors of toffees. The candies became Valerie Confections’ instant signature, and critics instantly embraced them.

Valerie Confections “takes toffee to another level,” wrote Los Angeles Times food writer Leslie Brenner, adding, “The classic toffee is the best rendition we’ve ever tasted.” The opinion was echoed by House & Garden Food Editor Lora Zarubin, who said “The artisanal toffee of Valerie Confections is the best I have ever tasted. There were six flavors and each seems better than the one before.” Valerie has also been named one of America's Top 10 Chocolate Companies by Saveur Magazine.
