In Utah, July 24th means one thing: Pioneer Day. Officially, the state holiday commemorates the arrival of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. 

But for many people, including transplanted locals and those not of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints faith, it’s also affectionately known as Pie and Beer Day—a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the state’s history for anyone without pioneer roots. 

No matter which holiday you celebrate this year, Cache Toffee is a great way to put a deliciously sweet spin on the day, that’s an excellent addition to every backyard BBQ, picnic, and patio party: toffee!

Pie and Beer Day Snacks

Stating the obvious, Pie and Beer Day is all about enjoying two simple pleasures: desserts and cold drinks. And Utahns certainly love their sweet treats! Fortunately, Cache Toffee checks every Pioneer Day treat box—rich, buttery, and crunchy.

Discover how to create unforgettable Pioneer Day treats that blend rich, buttery toffee with nostalgic favorites to take to the fireworks and make the most of Utah Pie and Beer Day!

Here are a few toffee ideas for the day:

• Toffee Pie Pairings: Top your favorite pie—cherry, apple, or even a creamy chocolate silk—with crumbled Cache Toffee for added texture and a pop of sweet-salty crunch. It takes every slice up a notch.
• Beer and Toffee Flights: Create a tasting board with your favorite local brews and pair them with different Cache Toffee varieties. The nutty base and chocolate finish are the perfect companion to stouts, brown ales, and even fruity sours.
• Toffee Treat Boards: Build a dessert charcuterie board with cookies, fruit, mini pies, and Cache Toffee Party Popcorn. It’s a simple, crowd-pleasing way to celebrate with friends and family.
• S’mores with a Twist: Thinking about fireside s’mores after a day of fun? Swap out your chocolate bar for a piece of Cache Toffee. The melted marshmallow combined with our handcrafted toffee flavors creates a decadent, gourmet version of a classic.
• Frozen Treats Upgrade: Sprinkle crumbled Cache Toffee over homemade ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, or popsicles for a little extra wow. It’s the perfect sweet surprise on a hot July day.
