Stupid Guest Tricks

When even Syndrome can't make a comment, then you know it's a doozie. Good to see you, Syndrome!

Maybe it is a peanut allergy thing? But then again wouldn't the brittle part be manufactured in a factory that processes nuts as well? Mmmm peanut brittle...

Yes, but we are talking SG here...

True, but I remember being in a candy store in Solvang and getting "Almond Brittle" and they had just about every kind of nut available!

(okay guys, that is about as much of an opening as you are gonna get!!)

Here in Washington we got as many kinds of nuts as you want, some are born with them, some end up with some on the wall and well there are those that have their own farm

We make our own peanut brittle in the Confectionery, and we do advise people with severe nut allergies to avoid any of the products we make ourselves (fudge, rice crispies, apples, strawberries, and peanut brittle) even if that product doesn't itself contain nuts because like you said, they are all prepared on the same surfaces.

Incidentally, if you want to smell the most heavenly candy smell in the world, come in when the kitchen is making caramel apples or peanut brittle (peanut brittle is made from caramel). The whole Confectionery fills up with it! The smell is stronger when they're making peanut brittle, I'm not sure why.

I've had a lot of guests ask for almond brittle, I've also had guests ask for plain brittle, but I've been lucky enough not to have a guest describe plain brittle as "peanut brittle without the peanuts".

The fresh fudge is behind the bulk counter; don't get the packaged fudge that's in the display, it's made in a factory somewhere. The same goes for the peanut brittle, the stuff we make is in hand tied bags on a table next to the kitchen, the factory stuff is over on the wall with the Goofy's Candy Company items.

Our flavor's of the month this month are Pirate Bone and Cherry Vanilla Walnut, I don't know what the flavors of the month in April are going to be (they don't have a set schedule). My favorite is just the old fashioned Peanut Butter fudge, though.

I'll be quiet now, I get a little excited when I start talking about candy.
