About Us
Years ago, John Spalding’s search for good peanut brittle only turned up cheap brittles with very few nuts. So, in 1987 John dusted off Great-Grandma Spalding’s old fashioned peanut brittle recipe from the 1860’s and went to work.
After countless hours of tweaking the recipe, John found that by reducing the corn syrup and sugar in his recipe, while at the same time increasing the amount of healthy nuts in his brittle.
Encouraged by family and friends, the Brittle Brothers Gourmet Brittle Company was born in Nashville, TN in the fall of 2006. Take one bite and you will instantly understand why this truly is one of the most delicious brittle!!

Fantastic brittle
Wowzers! Where has this company been all my life? The buttery smooth flavor of the brittle, combined with peanuts and bacon, sets your tastebuds alive. This is really a great brittle.

The Flavor of Bacon is not to be combined with some things
i thought this sounds interesting I’ll give it a chance. Wrong ! I don’t like to return items but i might have to do just that,Eat at your own risk ! You might like it. I will see if the flavors grow on me… but i doubt it.

This stuff is seriousy addictive
I love this stuff. It tastes so good. I hid the bag so no one else could get any. It was that good. This would make a great addition to a gifl basket or box. Not certain if this comes in a bigger container but it should. Delicious.

I’ll be buying more, but needs more bacon flavor
Overall, I really enjoyed this brittle! I figured for the price I wouldn’t be out much if I didn’t.I could eat the whole bag in one sitting, but that’s too much sugar for me!My only complaint is that the bacon flavor is more subtle than I anticipated.

Why put the stickers on the front?
I haven’t tried these yet, but I purchased one as a gift and the stickers on the front of the package is such a turn off. I’m sure this is a wonderfully tasty product, but perhaps putting stickers over the names and images isn’t the best marketing idea. Just saying 😌

Sweet & Savory
Looking for a unique party food or unique snack? Look no further, I bought multiple bags of this to serve at a casual party and it was all gone, every morsel. Great bacon flavor but not overly salty. Would definitely recommend.

Not a good flavor in my opinion.
Decided to try this, the Nashville Hot, and Regular peanut brittle. I would not recommend the Bacon Brittle. I like bacon but this brittle was not good at all. It left a bad aftertaste in my mouth and the bacon flavor seemed odd like is was burned. The other two flavors, Nashville Hot, and Regular were awesome. I plan on purchasing them again but in the larger sizes to save on cost per ounce. Good thing they offered small bags to decide what flavors to buy.

Smoky Bacon Brittle Overpriced but Fun to Try
I wasn’t even looking for peanut brittle but this caught my eye and because I like odd combos with bacon, why not? It’s tasty and you will want to make the tiny bag last as long as you can which is pretty much my one complaint—you’re paying quite a bit per ounce .

Bacon brittle
Not like I expected. Bacon flavor is a hint.

Not for everybody
I like bacon. I like peanut brittle. I don’t like bacon flavored peanut brittle. There are quite a lot of peanuts per piece though. This is more something you whip out at a friend gathering to try out. And for that I think the price point should be a little lower.

Tastes horrible
The taste of the bacon put me off. While I eventually finished the bag, it really wasn’t worth the effort.It may be the brand of bacon that they are using (Smoky Hormel Bacon) that is causing the unpleasant taste. Also (and this may be psychological, but my hands and lips feel like they are covered with grease after eating.

Just get it – you will like it…
I first discovered this brand of bacon brittle on a trip to Nashville; liked it so much that I regretted buying the small pack. Fortunately the creation of the internet and Amazon saved me from myself. If you found this product and thought to yourself, “self, I wonder if this is as good as it sounds,” I can confirm that it does.

Surprised by the great taste!
Bought this as a gag with a bunch of other bacon flavored stuff on Amazon and was actually thoroughly surprised by this. It has a great bacon taste! And I’m not even a huge fan of the texture and feel of peanut brittle but was able to get past that for the amazing bacon taste. So if you like brittle and bacon than I highly recommend this! And even if you dont like brittle it could be worth the try!

Weak bacon flavor but overall alright.
The bacon flavor is very weak and the brittle/ sweet flavor very sugary (rather than the rich caramel of other brittles I have tasted). Additionally, for what you receive it is quite expensive, though admittedly the weight is clearly stated in the description. I like that the pieces are small so you don’t have to break a piece off, you can just pop it in your mouth.

Best Darned Brittle EVER
Sometimes bacon flavored items taste fake flavored or the bacon is an odd texture. It is definitely NOT the case with this brand. The flavor is perfect! Not toothache sweet, great crunch and excellent amount of consistency. You can tell that there are good quality ingredients! My mouth waters just thinking about it!

I bought this thinking it would be bacon covered in a brittle coating. It is not. It’s brittle with bacon pieces. That being said it’s AMAZING and I’ve already ordered another bag within an hour of receiving my order. If you are a bacon lover like myself you will not be disappointed.

No Bacon Flavor
The toffee flavor of the brittle is good.The bacon has no flavor and was small bits like hard rock, I thought it was going to break my tooth… I think the peanuts are stale, they keep coming back up.

No bacon!!!
The brittle good and had a great taste. The bacon was not there, I think they used crackling for bacon flavor which made like eating pea sized gravel. I will not by again .a

Perfect brittle!
This stuff is amazing! So addictive I wish I had bought several! Just a hint of smokiness without being weird, the taste is phenomenal! Perfect crunch, perfect size, and the tiny pieces of bacon are perfect! I have dentures and didn’t have any issues at all! Will be ordering more real soon!
