Our Story

Born from a Backyard
Copper Kettle & a Good Recipe

Red Truck Peanut Brittle started the way the best things do—in a backyard, with a copper kettle, and a recipe that someone swore by. What began as holiday gifts for neighbors quickly became something more: a small operation with a big reputation for the crunchiest, most golden brittle in Middle Tennessee.

Today we still cook every batch by hand. We still break every slab with our own hands. And we still use the same simple ingredients—peanuts, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt—that made the first batch unforgettable.

We're not a factory. We're not a franchise. We're a single kitchen in Pleasant View, and every piece of brittle that leaves our door has been made with the kind of care you can taste.

The Process

From Sugar to Snap

There's no shortcut to good brittle. Here's what goes into every batch.

01
Roasting peanuts in a large batch before brittle making

Roast the Peanuts

We start with quality peanuts, roasted to bring out their natural oils and flavor—never overcooked, never underdone.

02
Copper kettle with bubbling sugar syrup at high heat

Cook the Sugar

Brown sugar, butter, and a touch of salt come to life in a copper kettle. We watch the temperature like a hawk—hard crack is the goal.

03
Stirring roasted peanuts into a hot batch of golden brittle syrup

Combine & Pour

Peanuts go in. Batter goes in. We stir fast, pour thin, and let each slab set until it's ready to break.

04
Hands breaking a cooled slab of peanut brittle into irregular pieces

Break & Pack

Every slab is broken by hand into irregular, rustic pieces. Wrapped fresh, packed with care, and ready for you.
