A career-ending knee injury sent Oded Fenster in an unexpected direction, eventually leading him back to Israel after years of studying traditional candy making in France and Belgium. Today, his handcrafted honey toffee is one example of the skill and dedication he developed along the way.
This honey toffee begins with fresh butter, cream, and golden honey that slowly cook into a smooth caramel. Roasted almonds add crunch and a rich nutty flavor that lingers alongside the floral notes of the honey. Individually wrapped pieces make it easy to share with family and friends, serve alongside coffee, or keep within reach whenever you crave a handcrafted treat.
Oded prepares every recipe with the same patience and attention that first inspired him to leave one career behind and begin another. Years of refining his craft have earned Fenster a devoted following throughout Israel, where customers return for sweets that express genuine skill, thoughtful ingredient selection, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Every piece offers a delicious reminder that some of Israel’s finest confections still come from the hands of artisans who value craftsmanship above all else.

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!”
