Enstrom Candies got a little time in a national holiday-shopping spotlight on Dec. 6 when it was mentioned and shown on NBC morning show TODAY.

During TODAY with Jenna & Friends, Enstrom Candies’ toffee was one of several items selected by Danielle Kartes, author of “The Best Kids Cookbook,” in a segment about perfect mail-order gifts for foodies on your holiday-shopping list. In fact, Enstrom’s toffee was the first item she discussed with TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager and Al Roker.

“This is my favorite thing, you guys,” Kartes said. “I love a food gift. Enstrom toffee, this is some of the best toffee I’ve ever had in my life. From Colorado, California almonds – we love that – non-GMO, no garbage, and it’s just such a great gift.”

Hager Bush said emphatically, “It’s delicious,” and added she gets it every year.

Enstrom Candies, which is headquartered in Grand Junction and also has several locations in the Denver area and one in Montrose, said in an email announcement, “We’re really proud to see a local brand get national recognition, especially during the holiday season.”

The other items promoted during the TODAY segment were: Cobb’s Popcorn from Seattle; pies from Royers Pie Haven in Round Top, Texas; gift baskets from Harry & David of Medford, Oregon; San Joaquin Valley, Calif., fruits and vegetables from The Fruitful Market: and pork products from Snake River Farms in Boise, Idaho.
