The history of this confectionery family dates back to 1919, when Chester K. “Chet” Enstrom got his start in the candy business. At 17 years of age, Chet went to work in the ice cream factory at Barthel's Confectionery in Colorado Springs. Often, when his shift ended, he would help out across the street in the adjacent candy factory, and he quietly began learning the candy-maker's art.

In 1929, Chet and his bride, Vernie, packed up their Model T and drove the rut-filled roads to Grand Junction, Colorado to begin a new life. There Chet and a partner, Harry Jones, launched the Jones-Enstrom Ice Cream Company, a business he pursued for the next thirty years.

For many years toffee has actually been among the most well-loved sweets around. How is it made? Generally, toffee candy is made from a mixture of butter and sugar that is warmed to a specific high temperature. It is then poured into various molds and left to cool for a while. How long is it cooked for? That depends upon how difficult or soft you desire the toffee to be when it's finished. A great rule of thumb is that the longer you prepare it for, the more challenging it will be. It is also during this cooking process that toffee becomes chewy, and other ingredients such as coconut and nuts are included for additional flavor.
