| We roast and
stock a wide variety of nuts, but our specialties are our cashews and
our pecans. We slow roast them in small batches, then lightly
salt them. They are the largest, most beautiful, and tastiest
cashews and pecans in the world! |
 |
| Our nut, snack, and fruit
mixes really do look better (and sell better). Most snack mix
processors tumble their mixes by machine, creating broken pieces and
product "dust". Ours are gently mixed by hand. Why use
premium ingredients if you're going to beat them up in a machine?

Nut Confections. Our
frosted pecans are the best on the market. (Read "The Story
Behind Our Incredible Frosted Pecans" below. They're uniform,
they're pretty, and they taste heavenly. We make them in ten
different flavors: praline, butterscotch, maple, and cinnamon...to
name just a few. They are also easier for retailers to handle
because they don't stick together under humid conditions like similar
products do. |
|
We also make
traditional pecan pralines, chewy pralines, divinity, nut logs, and
nut brittles. We use fresh natural ingredients (for example,
real creamery butter), and we use no preservatives.
You can assume that everything we carry is
a premium grade. Over the years, we've found this to be our
niche. For one thing, the larger best grades SELL better!
Even though they may cost a little more, our retailers say they sell
more of them! |
The
Story Behind Our Incredible
Frosted Pecans and Pecan Street Sweets |
| In 1988, I
was introduced to Praline Frosted Pecans...fresh mammoth pecans
enveloped in a delectable praline coating made with real butter.
As the owner of a nut roasting and snack company, I was so impressed
by them that I decided to add these to my own product line. But
I learned that the small candy company that made them was unable to
produce them at a marketable price. |
 |
| For the next two years, I
explored the U.S. candy market searching for similar confections.
Nothing else compared. Undaunted, I called in candy consultants
and challenged them to duplicate these sweet morsels. After two
years of testing, we still couldn't capture their special taste and
texture. Finally, in 1994, I
bought the company and learned the secrets! I combined these
heavenly nut candies with my own premium freshly roasted nuts and
snacks to form "Pecan Street Sweets". We continue to use the
same wholesome ingredients (no preservatives), recipes and hand-made
techniques used since 1923. And, we make them in ten different
flavors: praline, orange, butterscotch, chocolate, cinnamon, pina
colada, amaretto, rum, bourbon and maple.
These fabulous confections became my
obsession. One taste and they'll become yours too!
