Aunt Sophia Gerkensmeyer, an “old world” master candy-maker, developed her Soft Peanut Butter Brittle in Spokane more than 50 years ago! Our signature candy begins with this one-of-a-kind, 50-year-old classic recipe, handed down, improved and protected over the years. The result is a confection with a soft, flaky consistency and a rich, creamy peanut butter flavor. We pay the same close attention to each batch just like Aunt Sophia did. We only use fresh, Grade-A ingredients, and there are no shortcuts in our candy-making process. And each batch is still hand-pulled on the marble slab Aunt Sophia purchased from the world-famous Davenport!
