Sea Salt Candy Company

Have driven by SSCC many times but finally stopped in. Checked out the different products and decided on the Claim to Fame — almond toffee with dark chocolate and sea salt. I love toffee and this is some of the best I’ve had! It is thick but still just soft enough to easily bite and it melts in your mouth. The flavor is fantastic, especially with the sea salt to balance the sweet. Will be back to try other flavors; perfect place for small gifts.

So yummy and such great customer service! Get one of everything. You won’t regret it.

Awesome unique with a unmatched flavor of the gods… problem this stuff is addictive !!

Wonderful service from great owners. Plenty of different flavors to choose from. Price is reasonable and makes a great gift. Candy tastes teriffic.

What an awesome selection of candies. I had the caramel with a hit of lemon and WOW. I highly recommend Salty Sisters.

If you need to get someone a gift or need to fulfill your sweet tooth, you can’t go wrong with Sea Salt Candy Co. Literally everything in there is so flavorful and made with love. My favorite are the basic caramels.
I purchased my wife a large gift basket for valentines day one year, and she loved everything in it. Let’s just say all the edibles were consumed probably faster than they should have been! We do still have some of the caramel sauces. They go great over vanilla ice cream.

My husband and I stopped by this shop while out for a walk in our neighborhood. The shop itself is very quaint and the woman working that day was welcoming and knowledgable about the products available. We purchased the java toffee and some caramels and were pleased with both. The items seemed a little pricey, but the quality of the product was evident. We’re glad to have a place like this around as an option for treats.

Oh yes!!!
Dark chocolate sea salt Carmel’s, Claim to Fame toffy and toffy bits for cookies, ice cream, waffles oooh my!!!
So delicious!!! Pricy but worth every penny! The perfect place to get a sweet gift For anyone under $ 20!!! Every holiday or dinner party… These are my contributions and everyone goes crazy!!!

Their toffee is good, but it doesn’t seem any more special than other homemade toffee I’ve had. Their toffee is heavy on the toffee and light on chocolate. They have a few imaginative caramel and fudge sauces.

Shame on me for not coming to Salty Sisters sooner. What a cute little shop of toffee, chocolate, and caramel creations. In an effort to give something unique and handmade for the family this holiday season. I decided to stop buy and get a couple sweet goodies that can be shared. Thankfully the owner was available and had time to walk me through all the items offered. I tried the rum and tequila infused caramel syrups which are delicious and can be used on ice cream, cookies, and meats. The latest chocolate creation is the Chile Verde Chocolate which lends itself to a great conversation piece. I purchased the rum syrup set with some toffee crumbles, a bag of dark chocolate toffee, and a box of Chile Verde chocolate. I am definitely pleased with my experience and look forward to returning again.

Fabulous, awesome, incredible! I fell in love with the Saucy Sisters Caramel sauce I sampled at the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market. I was immediately enamored and bought a jar of the Tequila Caramel Sauce. Two weeks later I was hunting down the new Sea Salt Candy Company shop in the Shadowridge area of Vista. Gretchen Bender, one of the owners was a fantastic host and gave me a tour of the shop and encouraged me to sample. Toffee to die for, yummy caramels and several different luscious caramel sauces. In addition, available for purchase are creative cards made by a local artist and small unique gifts. I was in heaven, seriously! I purchased over a dozen caramel sauces and toffees for Christmas gifts. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for Gretchen, I will have to return soon as a few bags of the toffee disappeared before I could gift them – must’ve been the dog HA!
I say BAH HUMBUG to the review from the «small business owner» whose unreasonable demands were not met. It’s an unfortunate review which I feel holds no merit whatsoever. The products speak for themselves in addition to the gracious customer service. FYI: Gretchen is a fifth generation Leucadian — support our local business owners, buy local and spread the word!

a little out of the way in terms of location and a little pricey, but some of the best tasting caramels and worth it!

I got the chile verde caramels at the Vista Strawberry Festival and they are absolutely delicious. My only issue is that these are way out of my price range. I got them to splurge and I’m worried I’ll never be able to convince myself to buy them again. If money isn’t an issue for you, I’d suggest you try some.
$ 14 for 8 caramels. 4 oz box.

Extremely disappointed to see their farmer’s market candy prices go up 40 percent with no explanation. 10 dollars for a box of 6 chocolate caramels was already pushing it, but 14 dollars for 6 small pieces of candy is absurd.
We love these candies, but they have become too expensive for us. We hope the owners reconsider their price hike.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE their toffee!
I first encountered Salty Sisters at the Little Italy Mercato held on Saturdays. They offered free samples of their toffees, which included the White Chocolate, Salted Toffee, and Claim to Fame (their signature flavor with dark chocolate, almonds, and sea salt). I immediately fell in love with the Claim to Fame and had to buy a bag. It’s a bit pricey at $ 8 for a 4 oz bag, but your taste buds will thank you for it. Every time I had a craving for Salty Sisters, I made my way to the farmers market. Then I heard that they sold their toffee at the Seaside Market in Cardiff which was awesome since it was so much closer to my house, and I could pick it up any day.
A couple months ago, my boyfriend had purchased the Groupon deal ($ 15 for $ 30). We drove all the way to the store in Vista on a Sunday afternoon only to find that they were closed on Sundays ( Unilocal showed that they were open 9 – 5) which really bummed me out! We ended up coming back the following Saturday to redeem the deal and were greeted by two very friendly ladies at the store. They offered us all kinds of samples, and gave their opinions on the various choices. I ended up parting with an 8oz Claim to Fame, 4oz Island Style with White Chocolate, and 4oz Dark Chocolate Java. SOOOO happy we got the deal since I would’ve gotten the toffee at some point anyway.
The flavors are rich, but not overly sweet, and I love the combination of sweet and salty. They are a must try!

I love SSCC! Their caramels and toffee are TO DIE FOR! I’ve shared them with my co-​workers and they all love them too. The flavor is so unique, heavy on molasses and sea salt. I haven’t tried anything here that I don’t like. Their Frisky Whiskey Caramel Sauce is delicious (even by itself) and we’ve enjoyed it (as well as their Vanilla Bean Caramel Sauce) on sundays, topped with their toffee bits. My favorite item they sell is their white chocolate covered caramels with ginger-​infused sea salt. WOW!
I also had the opportunity to partake in their first dessert culinary class. For $ 25 I got to hang out with Gretchen and some other supporters, have some wine and pecan caramels, and then learn how to make banana’s foster! It was a great time and can’t wait to do it again!
Come to Vista and check out SSCC, you won’t be disappointed!

Super cute little store over behind the high school. The shop is clean and inviting and the employees are very nice. You can try pretty much everything to see what your favorite is before buying. All the toffees and caramels are good, my favorite the chili verde caramel. My only issue is that it is a little spendy.

I bought the $ 30 voucher on Groupon (for $ 15) and was very happy with my experience!
Location: Slightly inconvenient. It’s about 5 – 6 minutes off the 78 by a residential area. There’s not much else to do around here. This is the #1 reason why I don’t go more often.
Tips:
— FREE SAMPLES. You can try almost everything before buying.
— There are two major types of candy: toffee (like broken chocolate bark), and caramel (individually wrapped).
— For a little over $ 30, I was able to nab two 4-​oz «Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee» bags, two small boxes of the «Vanilla Sea Salt Caramels,» and one mason jar of toffee bits (for baking).
— For dark chocolate lovers: Yes, they have toffee for you too! There’s also a java/​coffee toffee. I’m an avid coffee drinker but for some reason, didn’t really dig it.
— RECOMMEND: The «Vanilla Sea Salt Caramels»! These came in a giftable box, were easy to share, and had an amazing balance of sweet/​salty. I can’t think of another candy that has such a unique combination of flavors.
Overall: I really like this place because it’s a CALIFORNIA treat. I’ve been struggling to find something to gift friends/​family who want a unique taste of California. (Salt water taffy doesn’t really do it for me.) The cute packaging and unique sea salt twist make the candies here perfect. The label also says «California toffee.» The only downside is that the toffees don’t last very long. Because they’re so buttery, they started to «seep» through the paper packaging after a couple days. The caramels, on the other hand, stayed in tact for much longer.
By the way, if you get the toffee bits, try using them the next time you make brownies! Sprinkle on top before you bake to get a crunch and salty twist. :)

Amazing! I think the other reviewers have already covered why they are so great. Bottom line… You get what you pay for and then some.

I love toffee and caramels! When you combine the two with chocolate who cannot be in heaven! And then to have it available in your neighborhood! My niece (10 yrs old) and I had a chance to sample a few different candies available for purchase. Our favorites were the toffee candies.
It isn’t too sweet and it has that burst of sea salt, a nice surprise to the palette. I look forward to the new ones they will be putting out. Did you say marshmallow’s?! Yum!
