Crafian Artisanal Toffee

Shawn Johnson is the founder and creative force behind CRAFIAN® Artisanal Toffee, a modern confectionery brand born from her love of food, travel, and connection. During the pandemic, what began as monthly cooking dates with friends quickly became the spark for something greater. Drawing on a background in the beauty and consumer goods industries, Shawn blends her eye for design with a deep curiosity for flavor and culture to reimagine a nostalgic treat that speaks to today’s palate and aesthetic.

From her commercial kitchen in Chicago, she leads CRAFIAN® with a commitment to quality, innovation, and craftsmanship — creating small-batch, award-winning toffee that’s minimal by design yet rich in experience. Each flavor reflects her belief that food has the power to spark curiosity, foster connection, and make everyday moments memorable.
