Company Summary

Founded by a dentist in her home kitchen, Tom & Jenny’s developed a caramel preferred by over 60% of blind taste-testers. After collaborating with a James Beard Award-winning pastry chef, we launched online and with local retailers. We are seeing store inventory turn an average of one bag per day in each store and have interest from Whole Foods and A Southern Season. We are now ramping up contract manufacturing to meet growing demand.
