We've been munching and crunching around our house lately, since we stocked up on one of our favorite treats from the show. Anoka Farms Brittle. Oh. My. Goodness. It is amazingly terrificly scrumptiously delicious. And what I love even more about it is that it's a tiny mom and pop business, created by Stephen and Shelly, using her grandmother's recipe. And I love how they honor the memory of her grandparents and their farm on Pleasant Prairie, which is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from me.
And as we've been munching and crunching, it occurred to me that I just had to do a post about it before Father's Day because it would make the best gift for that special day. Really.
My favorite is Chocolate Dipped. I wonder what yours will be? Let me know!
They all sound SO DELICIOUS! I think I'd especially like the Express OH.
I wasn't able to attend your show, but some of my friends were. I blogged about it today at Gracious Hospitality. Please drop by if you have time.
Thanks!

I work with a woman whose brother makes and sells peanut brittle during the holidays. he sells some 2,000# of it. He sells it in 4qt. ice cream pails for $15. I don't like it, my husband swears mine is so much better. I am a peanut brittle fiend, and would definitely buy this. The chocolate and Express OH! are worth trying, thanks for the link.

Oh YUM! My husband makes this at Christmastime, a treat we save for once a year. I'm impressed that they've made a whole business out of it! Wonderful!

MMmmmm~ That sounds SOooooo good right now! I get my braces off in a few weeks and then it would not be safe to have a box near me!!
Loved meeting you Gal's at the show, I almost fell on the floor when you recognized my name, heehe! My husband just thinks I am a dork with a computer...I told him "I know famous people"...I don't think he was impressed, sigh.....I have posted show pics. Pop over when you can. I will attach to your show list when I get the whole lot of them online by Sat.

We got to try some at the show- and it was so yummy!! Her hubby was tickled that we came so far to the show- from Pa. and Ga- and he gave us a little souvenier- a bag. LOL! She was cracking up at him- not even a drop of candy in it!!
