The business quickly gained traction via word of mouth. \u00a0Aunt Trisha would cook\u00a0up to 18 hours a day preparing for the holiday season. <!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Taking Over a Family Business\u00a0&amp; Secret Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brooke says, &#8220;About 6 years ago, with the ailing health of Mimi (our grandmother) and carpal tunnel, Aunt Trisha was ready to pass the baton. My husband and I loved the product and the joy that Trisha&#8217;s Almond Toffee gave so many.
