Tam’s Sweets, founded by a self-taught baker who competed on The Food Network’s Great Chocolate Showdown, is a line of soft brittle treats with features that differ from the usual hard brittles. As the brand describes, "unlike traditional cashew brittle, ours is thick, soft [and] flaky."
Soft brittle offers a more decadent and forgiving experience due to its chewy texture, catering to those who prefer a less intense crunch from their confectionery products. Some of the indulgent, uniquely textured varieties of soft brittle produced by the brand include Chocolate Hazelnut Brittle with Toasted Coconut; and Brown Sugar & Sea Salt Soft Peanut Brittle. Additionally, there are also super simple varieties like Soft Cashew Brittle and Soft Peanut Brittle, which scale back on the texture-rich add-ins.
