What Makes This Toffee Different?

At Lowrey’s, we don’t believe in settling for average when it comes to toffee. Our Macadamia Butter Toffee Crunché is truly a treat unlike any other.

The Nut Density Advantage

While many toffees skimp on the nuts, we believe the nuts should be the star of the show. That’s why we pack a generous 38% of premium Australian macadamias into every batch. Compare that to the 15-20% nuts typically found in other toffees, and it’s clear why our toffee stands out. Pro tip: Shake the pouch – if you don’t hear nuts rattling, it’s not us!

The French Caramelization Method

When it comes to making our toffee, we don’t just use any old method. We bring in the expertise of French pastry techniques to achieve the perfect texture. By cooking our butter and sugar blend to exactly 300°F—lower than the 340°F typically used for caramel—we ensure a crisp, clean snap without compromising the melt-in-your-mouth experience. The result is a toffee that’s crunchy yet light, and definitely not sticky.



Health Benefits You Didn’t Expect

Yes, you can enjoy delicious toffee without feeling guilty! Lowrey’s Macadamia Butter Toffee Crunché is a healthier indulgence, thanks to the benefits of macadamia nuts and a 30% reduction in sugar. Here’s why:

Monounsaturated Fats from Macadamias

Macadamias are packed with monounsaturated fats—healthy fats that can benefit your heart. A single 10g piece of our toffee delivers 1.4g of these good-for-you fats, which is similar to the amount you’d find in olive oil. So, when you enjoy our toffee, you're not only treating your sweet tooth but also giving your body some heart-healthy benefits.

Why Less Sugar Matters

At Lowrey’s, we know that sweetness doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health. We use a unique dark caramelization process that maximizes flavor, allowing us to cut down on sugar by 30%. The result? A toffee that’s rich in flavor, but with far less sugar than your standard toffee treat.

What makes NZ toffee so special?
