Our Story

Hi there! We’re Karen  and Anne. We’ve been friends since 1995 when we worked at the US Environmental Protection Agency together. A few years ago, we started talking about making a business out of Anne’s dad’s delicious peanut brittle recipe. For many years, Anne only shared her peanut brittle with friends, family, and as fundraising for her church. But with dreams of creating a new business, we decided it was time to share the love. 

 Anne has memories of the excitement and anticipation of the holiday peanut brittle cook in their home in Apple Valley, Minnesota. Her father was known in his community for “Bob’s Peanut Brittle”, which was shared widely among friends and family.  Anne started making it on her own after she moved to Colorado and continued to provide it for her family through the years.

 After moving to New Mexico, Anne created a new version of the original family recipe with a distinctly New Mexican flair. About a dozen years ago, she created the green chile version, using locally sourced New Mexico green chile. While the green chile version delivers a distinctive flavor, it was not hot enough for some of our friends and family. So in 2023, Anne created a new spicy hot version of the green chile to satisfy the need for heat that some desire.

 We use old-school techniques, which means no preservatives, no hard-to-pronounce chemicals you’ve never heard of, and no giant factories. This exact recipe has been around for at least 60 years, and we’re delighted to keep the tradition going. To us, there’s nothing quite like homemade goodies given from one loved one to another.

 We make everything in small batches from September-January (unless you have a large order that’s needed outside of that season – then let’s talk!).

 All confections are made with love from our home bases in Colorado and New Mexico. Since we’re a licensed part of the cottage food industry, we currently only sell to customers in these states. If you’d like custom labels for a special event, such as wedding favors or business gifts we can do that! Simply write us a note and we’ll chat about details.

 Have another question? Reach out, we would love to hear from you.
