THE STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING COMPANY
Chocolate Tiffin with Biscuits, Roasted Almonds & Cherries
WHILE SHE IS KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE SPECIALTY FOOD WORLD
for her famous sticky toffee puddings, Tracy Claros has recently expanded
her line of sweet treats with a collection of sticky bars including a tiffin, the
name of which comes from an old British expression for a lunch or snack.
Claros thought about the new products for at least a year and had been
working on them 18 months prior to launch. "Each one is a traditional British
tray-bake bar, but I wanted to give it an updated twist," she says. Claros' version is designed
to be crunchy and chewy with a blend of crackers, roasted almonds and chewy cherries and
raisins. The bar's cherries come from Washington, and roasted California almonds are used
to achieve a deep flavor. "The concept of the bars is for them to be the thing that you are
craving. Sweet and salty, crunchy and chewy," she says.
She recommends enjoying the tiffin chilled and cut into small slivers, and her hope is
that consumers enjoy a small serving of the confection without feeling too guilty.
The Sticky Toffee Pudding Company will also release a toffee flapjack with sesame
brittle and millionaire shortbread with smoked hickory sea salt as part of its upcoming line
of bar desserts. Suggested retail price: $3.49/2 ounces. Contact: Tracy Claros, The Sticky
