I really only have great things to say about these books. Bailey is back from filming in New York and is ready to take on making a giant toffee Easter Bunny to put in the town square. Of course, in true Margo fashion, the bunny must break all records. Bailey breaks all records, putting together an 8 foot toffee rabbit! As she is working on this, the local rabbit farmer, Steven Raber drops dead in front of her. She is relieved to think it is a heart attack instead of murder. Alas, Bailey is not so lucky. It turns out Steven Raber was poisoned. His son asks Bailey for help solving the murder. I really liked all the twists and turns in this one!
I think I liked this one more because I guessed the killer very early on and I still enjoyed the book.
Toxic Toffee by Amanda Flower finds us back in Harvest, Ohio at Easter time. Bailey and Charlotte have just returned home from New York were Bailey was filming her upcoming cooking show. And they arrive back at Swissmen Sweets at the best possible time to help with the Easter candy rush.
Easter festivities have brought tourists and shoppers to Harvest, while Bailey is tasked with a making a giant toffee rabbit. In the middle of the town's green space, a rabbit farmer has set up and unfortunately, meets his untimely demise. Bailey takes on the murder case as well as Mr. Raber's favorite rabbit, puff.
This is a sweet addition to the Amish Candy Shop mystery series. The action is fast paced and the characters are heart-warming. A terrific read!
I was given this book from the publisher for my honest review.

Bailey King’s in New York wrapping up a six-week shoot on her first cable TV show, Bailey’s Amish Sweets, when she gets a call from her Ohio town’s resident busybody. With Easter around the corner, Bailey’s been recruited to create a giant toffee bunny for the weeklong springtime festival that will also feature live white rabbits. But back home in Harvest, death becomes the main attraction when Stephen Raber keels over from an apparent heart attack—with Bailey and Raber’s pet bunny as witnesses.

Except it wasn’t Raber’s heart that suddenly gave out—a lethal dose of lily of the valley was mixed into a tasty piece of toffee. Who’d want to poison a jovial rabbit farmer who reminded Bailey of an Amish Santa Claus? To solve the murder, she and her sheriff deputy boyfriend Aiden must uncover a twenty-year-old secret. She’ll need to pull a rabbit out of a hat to keep a healthy distance from toxic people, including one venomous killer . . .
This was a fun and cute mystery read, though I think an April publishing date may have been more appropriate than June. I was in suspense until the very end.

This was good when I had the time to get into the groove (but it was too easy to set it down and forget it in the shuffle for several days at a time). I enjoyed the usual characters in this and the mystery was good with a nice twist to the ending. I adored the new matchmaker character and I'm thrilled she is getting her own spin-off series starting this December. This introduction will make a buyer out of me on that one (Matchmaking Can Be Murder). I enjoyed this and will be sticking with the series thanks to great characters.

I found Toxic Toffee an entertaining read. The characters are well-rounded and likeable and the mystery got me puzzled for a good while. There's also a healthy dose of humor in the book and lots of cute animals. Something that made the book even more interesting was the setting of the predominantly Amish town.
