toffees

Buttery boiled candies

Toffees is the plural of toffee, a chewy candy made by boiling sugar and butter together.

British English uses toffees as countable units—individual pieces of the confection: She unwrapped one of the toffees from the tin.

American English more often treats toffee as a mass noun, making toffees less common.
