Our story
Our family started in the Lowcountry of South Carolina where we learned from watching Mom in the kitchen that preparing food for someone is one of the greatest ways to express your love for family and friends. Sweet Bay Brittle is a family-owned and operated business that hopes to share a little of our Lowcountry love with you!
Fun Facts!
The term brittle first appears in documented writing in the year 1892.
January 26th is National Peanut Brittle Day
The first peanut brittle recipe appeared in an American cookbook, but the exact origin of the confection is uncertain.
According to one account, peanut brittle was a Celtic dessert. The Celts covered peanuts in sugar and baked them, and this eventually evolved into a caramel bark.
