Bardstown, Kentucky

Butler's Brittle has become the talk of the town!! We are quite popular in Bardstown, Kentucky! I recently visited my grandparents at their new restaurant where they sell Butler's Brittle, and would you believe after one weekend they completely sold out??!!! We believe it! After all, Butler's Brittle is the best "this side of well....anywhere!"  You can find our brittle at C & C County Cookin' on the outskirts of Bardstown. If you need the address here it is:

102 Flamingo Dr
.
Bardstown, KY 40004

And to all of our loyal customers in Bardstown, don’t worry, your next shipment of brittle will be on its way soon! If you have not tried our brittle you better hurry and head to our Etsy Shop! www.etsy.com/shop/butlersbrittle ! You better order two bags...that's if you are planning on sharing :)

Have a great day!!

Butler's Brittle is going places!!!

One of our favorite places to shop is Canton, TX. We love all the booths, and the atmosphere! We have recently decided it would be a great place to sell our brittle! We sent our application off, and now we are just waiting with bated breath to hear if they will have room for us this year. We would be going for the December Market which is Decemer 3rd-5th. We are so anxious to hear back! We have put together some cute holiday items that we would feature at this show, and for our local sales.  Once we get news that we will be going to Canton we will be sure to let you know! So stay tuned to our Facebook and Blog!

We are always very thankful to God when we receive much needed rain, but Butler’s Brittle needs the rain to stop for a little while!  When it is hot and rainy, like it has been here in South Texas for the past 10 days, it is very hard to make brittle.  The brittle does not “dry” like it should and it gets sticky to the touch.  Since we here at Butler’s Brittle want our customers to get the freshest and best brittle possible, we won’t make it in these conditions.  If you have placed an order or have won a contest and are waiting on your brittle, please be patient with us, we will get it to you as soon as possible!

Now, in the winter when it is cold and raining, that’s another story.  The cold actually helps to “dry” the brittle and it still turns out great.  We have made many a hundred pounds of brittle in cold and wet weather. So, if we could pick our perfect weather, we either want sunshine and 60 degree weather, which we won’t have a for a while, or sunshine and 90 degree weather, but never rain and 90 degrees!!!  Hurry up fall, we’re waiting on you!

Speaking of hundreds of pounds of brittle, our estimate for Butler’s Brittle for the past year is about 3,000 pounds!  Wow, now that’s a lot of brittle, being made one pot at a time. And yes, you can count on us to always make it fresh, one pot at a time! Hope you all have a happy and blessed week.

We're on shopping restriction!!

Well, Lauren (office manager) and I (CEO) went shopping yesterday at Michael’s again because “they have 50% off coupons and we might need something for the brittle company!”  Of course we found all kinds of cute things to buy including some really nice fall baskets and Christmas ribbons and tins.  Heck, everything was already 40-50% off so we had to “find” something to use our coupons on!  We reported back to the CFO (my fiancĂ© Kyle) when we got back, and we are now restricted from Michael’s, Hobby Lobby and Joann’s for the rest of the month!  Oh well, we can always find something good to buy online!  Here’s to happy shopping for Butler’s Brittle!
