We roast and stock a wide variety of nuts, but our specialty
is our cashews and our pecans. We slow roast them in small
batches, then lightly salt them. The are the largest, most
beautiful, and tastiest cashews and pecans in the world! Our
nut, snack and fruit mixes really do look better. Most
snack mix processors tumble their mixes by machine, creating
broken pieces and product "dust". Ours are gently mixed by
hand. Why use premium products if you're going to beat them
up in a machine?
Nut Confections. Our frosted pecans are the best
on the market. (Read "The Story Behind Our Incredible
Frosted Pecans" below.)
We also make traditional pecan pralines, chewy pralines,
divinity, nut logs, and nut brittles. We use fresh natural
ingredients (for example, real creamery butter), and we use no
preservatives.
The Story
Behind Our Incredible Frosted Pecans and Pecan Street Sweets
In 1988, I was introduced to Praline Frosted Pecans...fresh
mammoth pecans enveloped in a delectable praline coating made with
real butter. As the owner of a nut roasting and snack
company, I was so impressed by them that I decided to add these to
my own product line. But I learned that the small candy
company that made them was unable to produce them at a marketable
price.
For the next two years, I explored the U.S. candy market
searching for similar confections. Nothing else compared.
Undaunted, I called in candy consultants and challenged them to
duplicate these sweet morsels. After two years of testing,
we still couldn't capture their special taste and texture.
Finally, in 1994, I bought the company and learned the secrets!
"Pecan Street Sweets" became the new product line that encompasses
praline pecans as well as our pralines, nut logs, nut brittles,
and divinity. We continue to use the same wholesome
ingredients (no preservatives), recipes and hand-made techniques
used since 1923. In addition to Praline Frosted Pecans, we
make nine other flavors: orange, butterscotch, chocolate,
cinnamon, pina colada, amaretto, rum, bourbon, and maple.
These fabulous confections became my obsession. One taste
and they'll become yours too!
