About our Great Nuts    
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!
