Our Story

For over 50 years, Grandma Cleda has been perfecting her signature peanut brittle recipe, bringing joy to family and friends with every light, crunchy bite. Now, you too can experience the deliciousness of our gourmet small-batch brittle, crafted with the same care and tradition that started it all.

Grandma Cleda’s story is one of resilience, family, and giving back. After two years of refining her recipe, she created the perfectly balanced brittle that people know and love today. Recently, she passed down her craft to her son, ensuring future generations can share in the tradition. Now in her 80s, Grandma Cleda remains dedicated to making a difference, grounded in her faith in God and her love for those around her.

"If you can't do great things, you can do little things in a great way"
