Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha & Chelsea Miller. Check out their story below:
Samantha was on hiatus (unemployed) from her casting job, as the show she was working on got canceled. One night she wanted dessert (to eat her feelings of being unemployed), but she didn’t have anything in the house! So, she got creative and came up with her own toffee recipe on the spot. She had butter and sugar, which she knew made toffee, and mixed in anything else she could find, like chocolate and potato chips. She made a huge batch and told her twin sister, Chelsea, to take it to work with her the next day. Chelsea came running home and excitedly told Sam that everyone at work wants to buy her toffee! So, the next morning, Samantha got to work to re-create the yummy dessert she made. That night, she then had a dream about the name and The Toffee Twins was born!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely has not been a smooth road, but it has been a sweet one! We’ve learned that it takes money to make money and starting a small business is no easy task. It began as a fun hobby to do together and then quickly snowballed into a business. We both have full-time jobs, so we do this on the side and are hoping to one day do this full-time!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Samantha works in television and Chelsea works in education. Both are very creative in their own separate ways. Samantha bakes the toffee and Chelsea ties the bows! The two of us have built this company from the ground up. We are amazed at the outpouring of love we receivefrom our customersand the celebrity cliental whom we have had the opportunity to bake for. We make custom,one-of-a-kind toffee –
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
We actually are twins! We are fraternal, so no one believes us, but it’s the truth! We also taste-test each and every batch. Its the hardest part of the job, but somebody has to do it!
