About Brittle Brothers

Many years ago, John Spalding had a hankering for some good old-fashioned peanut brittle, like his mother used to make.  Unfortunately, after searching high & low for some quality brittle, all he could find was the cheap stuff – you know, peanut brittle that is all brittle and no nuts!!!  Frustrated in not being able to find any “quality” brittle, and choosing not to break his teeth on the low-end stuff, John decided it was time to make his own.  In 1987, John F. Spalding dusted off Great-Grandma Spalding's old-fashioned peanut brittle recipe from the 1860’s, and went to work.

After years of “tweaking and refining” his recipe, John discovered that by reducing the amount of sugar and corn syrup in his brittle, while at the same time increasing the number of nuts in his recipe  he could produce the most delicious gourmet brittles ever made!  John’s gourmet brittle had all of the nut flavors that he craved, with just the right touch of sweetness added in.    And so, John was a very happy man and could now sit back & enjoy the World’s Most Delicious Brittle any time he wanted.  

In the fall of 2006, after relentless pleadings from his family & friends to go commercial (so that they too could enjoy the World’s Most Delicious Brittle), John launched the Brittle Brothers Gourmet Brittle Company in Nashville, Tennessee, and since then, he has never looked back!  The Brittle Brothers have 5 amazing flavors of gourmet brittle: Cashew, Peanut, Bacon Peanut, “Hot & Spicy” Peanut and Pecan.  Their brittles are 100% gourmet, contain no preservatives or chemical additives, and are stuffed with as many of America’s finest nuts as they possibly could be.  What a perfect snack, with some serious protein, and just a little bit of sugar. Take one bite of Brittle Brothers Gourmet Brittle and you will instantly understand why this truly is the most delicious brittle made in America!!!
