What’s Toffifay? Also known as Toffifee in Europe, Toffifay is a type of candy from Germany that consists of a caramel cup stuffed with hazelnut, nougat, and a chocolate button. Traditionally, it’s made with dairy and butter, but this healthier take uses coconut oil and coconut cream for that same rich, caramel flavor.
