On the Way to Galway Bay

Q. What makes Flaherty's tender toffee Irish?

A: Our name reflects our Irish heritage and the treasured family recipes that inspired our signature confections. Our famous Irish Butter "Tender Toffee" is handcrafted from an old Irish family recipe that contains more rich Irish butter than sugar. The extra butter creates a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture that's noticeably different from traditional English toffees, which typically contain more sugar and can stick to your teeth.

Q: What’s the shelf life of your candies?

A: For the best flavor and texture, we recommend storing our candies in the refrigerator to protect them from heat and humidity. When refrigerated, our handcrafted candies will stay delicious for 3–6 months. Many customers tell us they freeze our candy and enjoy it up to one year later. While we don't officially recommend storing it that long, freezing can help preserve its quality.

Of course, our favorite recommendation is much simpler—open the box and enjoy it! After all, our customers call it "the best toffee ever!"

Q: Why doesn't Flaherty's Irish Candy ship during the summer?

A: We take pride in handcrafting our candies with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives. Because of this, our candy can melt during the hot summer months, and we want every order to arrive in perfect condition.

To ensure you enjoy the best quality, we encourage customers to stock up in spring and store their candy in the refrigerator. Properly refrigerated, our candy stays fresh for months, so you'll have a delicious treat ready whenever your sweet tooth calls—all summer long!

We start shipping to ship in October with a promotion to start the season!

Q: Can I send multiple gifts with just one order?

Yes! Sending gifts to everyone on your list is easy. At checkout, simply indicate that you would like to ship to multiple addresses, and you can check out with just one invoice. We'll handle wrapping, packing, and shipping for you!
