Across Israel, fresh berries appear in markets for a short window each year, and their sharp, fragrant character is familiar to anyone who has tasted them at peak season. Fenster’s Berries Toffee is inspired by this harvest, and pairs cooked caramel with a distinct berry flavor that cuts through the sweetness and gives the candy a clear, lively edge.
This toffee begins with sugar that’s cooked to a deep amber, then blended with butter and cream until it’s smooth and cohesive. The berry flavor is folded directly into the caramel while it is still warm, so it becomes intertwined with the candy itself. The first bite opens with caramel, followed quickly by fruit notes that brighten the candy. As it warms, the texture softens gradually, releasing more of the berry character with each chew.
Each piece is wrapped individually and placed inside a sturdy box that protects the candy from heat and handling. Fenster’s produces these toffees in small batches in Israel, where sweets like this are often served with coffee or kept nearby for guests.

Fenster’s Berry Toffee
Founded by the Fenster family, Fenster’s Toffee makes old-fashioned sweet treats with a distinctly Israeli character. Before he ever worked with chocolate, Oded had a surprising first career — he was a professional basketball player in Israel, until a serious knee injury cut it short. Changing direction, he traveled to Belgium to learn the art of chocolate making alongside some of Europe’s most respected chocolatiers, then returned home to open his own workshop.
Today Oded and Eyal craft chocolates, toffees, and marzipans entirely by hand, inspired by the authentic flavors of Israel — delicate marzipan, rich pistachios, warm cinnamon, and bright orange. Each piece has a real sense of place, carrying the aromas of ripe fruit, fragrant spices, and the people who lovingly make these sweets by hand.
Their workshop is also a place of purpose. The Fensters employ and train young adults with developmental disabilities, giving them meaningful work, real skills, and a space where they are treated with respect and dignity.
Looking ahead, there’s plenty more on the way: a honey toffee for Rosh Hashanah, sour toffee snacks for kids, a new marzipan bar, chocolate-coated marzipans, unique marmalade flavors, a blondie crunch, and other sweet surprises still to come.
“Our message to you is simple: we hope you feel the true meaning of what we are building together. Your support gives us the strength to grow our business, create jobs, and continue making our handmade sweets during one of the most challenging times Israel has faced. In return, we hope every bite brings you a little moment of happiness and a deeper, heartfelt connection to the beauty, flavors, and spirit of our country. Thank you for everything!”
