Helms Bakery and See’s Candies Are Teaming Up for Some Limited-time, Chocolatey Treats This Summer

Kate Amsbry June 5, 2025

Today is National Doughnut Day, and in case you needed another reason to reach for a deep-fried treat, Culver City’s Helms Bakery will be frying up a weekend-only special doughnut in collaboration with beloved chocolate brand See’s Candies. The locally founded company operates one of its main chocolate factories just a few blocks away on a busy stretch of La Cienega Boulevard.
 
The See’s Toffee-ette doughnut ($5) consists of a raised yeast round filled with toffee cream and topped with chocolate glaze, crushed Toffee-ettes and drizzled white chocolate. I actually had the opportunity to try the doughnut in a day-before preview, and it’s delicious. The toffee cream isn’t overpoweringly sweet, and the chocolate glaze plays nicely with the crushed nuts and toffee and hint of white chocolate. 
 
 
The limited-time item is available from today (while supplies last) through Sunday, June 8, with the potential to continue into subsequent weekends, depending on popularity and supplies. By our accounts, Helms Bakery is already home to some of the city’s best doughnuts—though fewer than a half dozen flavors are available at any given moment.
 
The Toffee-ette doughnut is the first of a series of limited-time collabs between the two iconic L.A brands, according to Sang Yoon, the chef-owner of the newly revived Helms Bakery. Over the summer, the Culver City bakery, deli and gourmet market plans to unveil at least three unique items—a pastry, a sundae and a drink—inspired by See’s signature sweets.
 
Helms Bakery is located at 3220 Helms Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034 and is open from 8am to 5pm, Wednesday to Sunday.
