One place we visited was the Jefferson General Store and I am glad we did. Walking around you felt you were returned to the 60s and we really enjoyed the place. Hopefully next time we come back to Texas we will return to Jefferson.

You can even pick up homemade honey butter, jams, jellies, pickled veggies, salsa & relishes, which can also be ordered online. My darling Southern Sister brought me back some of their Texas Pecan Pralines, which are made in house daily. Not gonna lie, I'm biased about Pralines and am loyal to Louisiana style. Oh boy, my opinion changed when I tried these. They were soft, creamy, & absolutely delightful. They also weren't overly sweet. I will be placing an online order soon along with some of their other products.

The young lady made sure to let me know to fill it all the way up.

We went straight to the back of the shop to watch the production kitchen where the gentleman was actually starting a process (what we learned later) of brittle making. Intrigued, and so satisfying to watch. They have free samples peanut brittle and pecan brittle. We both agree that this is some of the best. It's not the "bust you tooth" brittle (meant your candy got too hot), it's the airy, nice crunch, full of flavor, not too sweet, hint of burnt butter brittle. Yes, yes! They nailed it. It's the brittle you start to eat, and boom the package is done. Of course we had to get brittle, and white chocolate covered nuts, too. They sell a variety of sliced pies, milkshakes and cold drinks. I bet this is the place I will be in the summer, especially for ice cream. Their storefront has not been open long, but Grandma Cleda's been making brittle for generations. You can find out more about their story when you visit their shop. Two things they do amazing: they love what they do, and do what they love! Oh and they have fabulous brittle! Love in every bite.
