WHO ARE WE?

TOFFEES • SOFT CARAMELS • FUDGE • SPREADS

At Darling Sweet, our slogan – “Take Your Time” or “Vat Jou Tyd” or “Thatha ixesha lakho” – is the philosophy that
guides us. Crafting our handcrafted treats requires time, care, and meticulous attention to detail.

We believe our products are best enjoyed the same way – slowly and with due intent. In the rush of daily life, we
invite you to pause, savour the moment, and indulge in the buttery richness of our products.

OUR PRODUCT RANGE

Everything started with our Tannie Evita’s Classic
Toffee. Our flagship toffee range features ten
irresistible flavours, blending classics with
innovative twists. We also offer eight delectable
soft caramel flavours. For something different we
have our delicious toffee spreads available in three
flavours. And our latest addition is our Proudly
South African Traditional Fudge.

OUR STORY

Darling Sweet began as a bold dream shared by two
creatively minded young men with a passion for tradition
and a love for their hometown. Inspired by the beauty and
charm of Darling, Frits van Ryneveld had a sweet idea – to
create something special that visitors could take home as a
reminder of their experience in Darling.

In 2013, Hentie van der Merwe, our co-founder, embarked
on a journey to recreate the perfect old-fashioned toffee,
inspired by long-forgotten recipes and traditional
techniques. During countless late-night experiments,
Hentie perfected our signature butter-rich toffees. The
result? Delectable, melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

During July 2014, Hentie and Frits brought their vision to
life by establishing Darling Sweet, a toffee factory
dedicated to crafting authentic, preservative-free treats.
