From the beginning, Mary took pride in her recipes and insisted on only the finest, freshest ingredients. Today, we're still just as committed to making candy the right way. See's Candies was first whipped up as the dream of Charles A. See, a hardworking Toronto sales representative for Merckens chocolate manufacturer. While working long hours selling candy ingredients to bakeries and shops in the cold Canadian winter, he dreamed of the day he would finally own his own chain of candy shops and move with his family to warm, sunny California. Guided by the values his mother Mary had instilled in him, and using her candy recipes as the cornerstone of his business, Charles founded See's Candies in Los Angeles in 1921. His vision came to life with that first See's shop, a place where employees were treated like family and customers were warmly greeted with a free sample. Only the finest and freshest ingredients were accepted in their candy kitchen, causing suppliers to coin the phrase "See's quality"—higher than "top quality." Thanks to Charles' passion and intelligence, See's not only survived the Great Depression and World War II, it thrived and continued to grow as a company. His innovative bulk-rate candy buying program kept See's afloat through those difficult years, and the concept lives on in our Quantity Discount program. Charles grew his company from that first shop in L.A. to 78 shops across California, never compromising on the quality or deliciousness of See's Candies. When he passed away in 1949 due to a heart ailment, his son, Laurance A. See succeeded him as President. But Charles' legacy lives on, and his motto, "Quality Without Compromise®," continues to guide the company. See’s Toffee-ettes® are a year-round treat and one of our very best sellers. We take our famous, rich, buttery toffee with fresh in house roasted almonds, and smother it in creamy milk chocolate. We then roll each piece in freshly crushed almonds before placing them into their one-pound containers and sending them to you!  Making Our Candies  If you have questions about your order, need more information on a particular product or have feedback to share, let us know!
