Toffee

There was just stuff everywhere that you could like go and do and see.

That was another thing we used to have play lunch, toffees.

Toffees in the cake things.

Ah, yeah, right.

Mum would make toffees if it was special.

What is Werther's Original? You know what a-

Uh, Toffee the Clown.

That's the candy.

Yeah, it's called Toffee.

Okay.

No fancy name.

It's ridiculous.

You look like an advertisement for Sharp's Toffee.

I wear this monocle because I have a weak right eye.

Weak right eye, my foot.

Welcome to the Chad Coe Leadership Insight Podcast.

I'm extremely excited today because we're Robin Fields, the owner-founder of Toffee Break Desserts, a single culinary experiment for a party turned into a thriving 25-year-long artesian enterprise.

Most passionate side hustles burn out in a year, maybe even sooner.

So understanding the resilience required to sustain and scale a specialty brand is a masterclass in business survival.

Robin is the founder of Toffee Break Desserts, crafting award-winning custom treats for corporate events and celebrations across Chicagoland since 1998.

Wow.

Robin, share with us, if you will, and welcome to the show.

And it's me.

Big news.

Terrifying Toffees are back.

[laughs]

Are they back?

They're back.

And-

Everybody's already started to tag me in the Terrifying Toffees.

Stop it.
