Ok... have you ever found a place that you weren't looking for, however... when you found it you…read morerealized you've needed it ALL your life??? Yeah... say hello to Pecan Jacks!! That was me last night. Let's talk about it.
I was in the area for an event, however, I arrived a bit early and decided to walk up the street to check out Pecan Jacks. Now... I had no idea what Pecan Jacks was but the vibrant sign, clean window view into the inside, and elegant teal trim made me want to go, yep; I gathered all of that from the car as I drove by.
Now, I walk up to the building and everything I gathered from the car was in my face and 10x better. Yet, the true experience wasn't until... (Drum Roll, please) I opened that front door!!
Babeeeeeeeeeeee... I opened the front door of Pecan Jacks and was smacked in the face with the invigorating smells of vanilla, butter, waffle cone, and nutmeg. Yep... my nose was happy which led to my taste buds getting excited, which resulted in me falling in love and determining I had found my new spot.
Ok... the wall. As soon as you walk in, the wall to the left is candy central. I'm talking gummi, sours, and chocolate. As I scanned the wall I truly wanted a pound of everything, however I knew I had to calm down. lol!
But wait... I looked on the top shelf and guess what I saw!!! BRITTLE and best of all, variations of brittle. Oh yes. You know my secret affair with brittle was awakened and I had to scroll each flavor. Decisions, decisions.
The Winner: Southern Pecan Brittle
"Grandma Jacks old fashioned brittle, handcrafted with Georgia pecans and lots of butter. Pairs with beer or ice tea!"
Forget what it pair with because the goodness of it all by itself had me slow chewing. lol!!!
Perfect balance of sweet, salt, crunch, and chew. When you bite into it, you get the crunchy sweet brittle experience. As you chew, it transitions into a savory sweet buttery enhanced flavor thrilled nutty experience. Whew!!!! This thang is thangin!!!
As I have found my hidden gem, I can't forget to shout out the amazing customer service, clean establishment, and vibrant lighting. The design theme of Pecan Jacks puts you in the mindset of a mini-getaway, and the stellar customer service makes you remember what southern hospitality is all about.
Dear Owner of Pecan Jacks, you are smart, your recipes are magical, and you are appreciated.
Sincerely, a new fan named D. K.
