Zambrana's is long gone and I'm looking for a candy store or other purveyor that has the real stuff. Wed Dec 18 19:46:12 -0800 2002 0 Joe Penkrot 1 607091 The best toffee I have ever had came from Enstrom's (in Colorado). Funny, but it was a gift from a friend in Chicago! It really is the best stuff out there!! They have a website (link below) and they are offering an upgrade to 2nd day air if you order by 12/21!

The toffee sounded delish. Smokey Thu Dec 19 15:22:44 -0800 2002 607091 0 Smokey 2 607102 Thanks very much. It looks like great stuff. I've ordered a pound and we'll test it over the holidays.

My Glenview forays have been limited to the great Italian food at Gusto Italiano on Waukegan Road, but the prospect of both toffee and truffles may require me to drive a little further. Thanks.
