A few years ago I read a blog about See's Candies, a mid-range chocolate and candy company based in California. I decided to give them a try, and I ordered a bunch of items from their website. I wasn't disappointed... See's makes good quality candy at reasonable prices, and now I order from them on a fairly regular basis. Even though I have ordered many different products, there is one particular candy bar that is always on my order form- the Awesome Peanut Brittle Bar.
As of right now, I'm operating under the theory that See's peanut brittle bar may just be the most delicious candy bar ever created. That's really high praise coming from me considering that I'm not particularly fond of peanuts. See's has managed to find the right balance of ingredients to make a candy bar that has every right to be referred to as 'the nectar of the gods.'
The concept is pretty simple; it's a rectangular plank of peanut brittle covered all over in milk chocolate. The brittle itself is divine; it's the perfect combo of sweet and salty with a hint of buttery flavor. The peanuts are crunchy and have a wonderful roasted flavor, and the milk chocolate compliments the brittle perfectly. Normally I find milk chocolate to be a bit too sweet for my tastes, but in this case I don't think any other type of chocolate would have had the same effect.
See's has a lot of unique chocolates and candies, so if you're into the sweeter side of the snack world you should definitely check them out. They have a website as well as a catalog, and they have several physical locations as well... but most of those are out west.
