Update, March 26th, 2012: Thanks to all your incredible
support last Christmas, sales of Hallelujah Toffee were more than DOUBLE our original
500lbs target. We have hung up our aprons until the holiday season
rolls around again (always sooner than we think!) , and
hope that in the meantime, you will stop by here from time to time in 2012 to meet the 14 - 15 students we are supporting.
Until next December, Hallelujah Toffee thanks you for your enthusiastic response
to our handmade candy and our heartfelt cause. Please click on the
Our partners in candy-making link above for more information. |

Each year for the past few holiday seasons, the Berger and Burns families of Minden, Nevada, have cooked up huge batches of Great-Grandma Berger's extra special hand-made Hallelujah Toffee to raise money for charity. Friends are rounded up to help with packing and shipping, and each year, more and more toffee is cooked up in a local church's commercial kitchen (thank you, St. Gall) and more money is raised for good causes. The 2011 Hallelujah Toffee target is 500lbs, and all proceeds will go to a wonderful scholarship program supported by Bridge Ministries of Minden. Hallelujah Toffee is extra special because it's sweet but not too sweet and crunchy without cracking teeth. We invite everyone to treat themselves and their loved ones for the holidays, and at the same time help deserving schoolkids along the way to a better life! |
