Pistachio Cherry Brittle
Crunchy, chewy, and tart enough to wake up the snack drawer.
Most brittle gives you one texture and calls it a day. This one gives you two. Roasted pistachios and caramelized sugar bring the snap, and dried tart Montmorency cherries bring a chewy bite and a little tartness that keeps the sweet in check.
It comes in a 3 oz pouch, which is the right size for one person with a cup of coffee at 3pm, or for a few pieces each if you're feeling generous. Keep it on your desk, in your bag, or somewhere the rest of the household won't think to look.

About Brittle & Beyond, LLC
Beth Litt-Wahl always loved to cook. So, after high school, she attended the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), graduating in 1988. She went on to work in fine restaurants and hotels, cooking her way up the ladder to key roles. After several years, Beth decided to switch to baking. "I love sweets and seeing people enjoy what I bake," she said. She soon became a pastry chef, later opening her own bakery with a partner. That bakery is still in business after 25 years, although she decided to sell her share.
Uncovering what she wanted to do next led her to hike the Appalachian trail for 3 months. That provided the solitude she wanted and helped her appreciate the value of simplifying life. For her, this understanding came down to "Do one thing well." That insight was incorporated into her next business, Brittle & Beyond. She focused on only one item and took it to a high level of excellence. She uses only all-natural, plant-based ingredients and adds a creative touch by enhancing it with a unique combination of nuts, fruit, and floral flavors.
How did Beth choose Candy Brittle as her business? As luck would have it, she made pecan pie brittle for a PTA fundraiser. When people couldn't stop raving about it, "Brittle & Beyond" was born! Brittle and Beyond... it's beyond delicious!

Is Pistachio Cherry Brittle sweet or tart?
Both. The caramelized sugar and roasted pistachios lead with sweet and nutty flavor, and the dried tart cherries add a tangy note that keeps it from being one-dimensional. Think sweet first, with a little tartness behind it.
