Toby Matasar is the mother of the greatest brownies West Seattle has ever launched...plus the owner and driving force behind the popular Eats Market Cafe in Westwood Village.
There are treats you can resist and then there are the other kind. The name and description of the treats made by West Seattle's Toby Matasar is likely to cause your mouth to say a silent prayer.
Handmade Peanut Brittle Brownies - Bittersweet Fudgie Brownie Bars with our Handmade Peanut Brittle.
Matasar, owner of the popular Eats Market Cafe at Westwood Village, launched her side business Sweet Toby's (but under the business name of Chouchou Foods) about 18 months ago and it has done very well. So well, she's expanding it with the introduction of more sweet treats, available for now only at Whole Foods in the Seattle area.
She's a 2nd generation Pastry Chef of 15 years, who trained in New York and Paris before moving to Seattle 10 years ago.
Eats Market Cafe has been up and running since 2004.
The new products she is introducing are Shorties - handmade crunchy shortbread bites - one cup will have only classic flavor with 3 different colored nonpareils (white, pink & purple) and the other cup will have a combination of classic and cocoa flavored shortbread bites with white and pink nonpareils, the aforementioned Peanut Brittle Brownies Bars, Crunch no.9 - a crunchy mix of fruits, oats & nuts in bar form (great for kids because they are healthy and not made with processed sugar, and Peanut Brittle - handmade honeycomb peanut brittle
All the products are hand made using real ingredients. Matasar said, " We use the tag line "the real deal" because these products are made the way food should be made - by hand, using wholesome real ingredients, with lots of love."
All products will be available year round with seasonal flavors offered in addition to the original flavors and will be at all five Whole Foods Stores this month.
