The May Centennial Sweet-of-the-Month from See's Candies is Almond Brittle with a Kick, which offers a refreshed take on classic peanut butter with a hint of spice. The all-new nut brittle snack is enhanced with warming cinnamon and spicy cayenne and Ancho chile that's said to build with heat as more is consumed.
The spicy-sweet snack is said to be perfect for pairing with other treats and cocktails and it shares a taste of quality nuts sourced from California.
Pat Egan, See's Candies President and CEO, says "To celebrate a century of deliciousness, we thought our customers would be thrilled about this spicy twist on a classic favorite." Each month in 2021, See's Candies is releasing a new product in celebration of its centennial.
