Papa’s Peanut Brittle Story

The best brittle this side of heaven.

My name is Doreen Gardner, and I am the CEO of Papa’s Peanut Brittle. Homemade peanut brittle has been a part of my life since childhood. My family's holiday tradition involved gathering in the kitchen to make brittle for friends and family. As my parents grew older, I took on the responsibility of carrying on this cherished tradition, making and sharing brittle with my community. It was the love and giving spirit of my parents that inspired me to start Papa’s Brittle. I am excited to share my family tradition with you.

A Family Business

Papa’s Peanut Brittle was founded on a trusted family recipe, and will continue to build the family legacy as I share my brittle with the world. My sister, niece, grandson and granddaughter are all involved in the business - keeping our incredible brittle in the family for another generation.
