Gluten-Free Peanut Brittle: How We Make a Classic Candy Safe & Delicious
Handmade in Texas. Honey-sweetened. Gluten- and dairy-free. No preservatives.
Peanut brittle has long been a symbol of comfort and nostalgia — a sweet, crunchy treat that evokes memories of holidays, handmade gifts, and special family moments. But for millions of Americans living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, many traditional candies, including brittle, can be off-limits due to hidden gluten in ingredients.
At Brittle-Brittle, we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy the taste of tradition — safely. That’s why our gluten-free peanut brittle is more than just a delicious treat. It’s a promise of transparency, care, and uncompromised flavor.
Here’s how we make it possible.
Why Gluten-Free Matters — Even in Candy
If you're new to the gluten-free lifestyle, you might assume that peanut brittle is naturally gluten-free. After all, it’s made from sugar, peanuts, and not much else, right?
Not always.
Many brittle products contain hidden sources of gluten:
-
Flavorings or extracts that use grain alcohol
-
Butter or other dairy products
Even trace amounts of gluten can cause serious health issues for individuals with celiac disease. That’s why gluten-free labeling isn’t just a trend — it’s essential for safety and peace of mind.
A Clean Candy Starts with Clean Ingredients
At Brittle-Brittle, we’ve simplified and elevated our peanut brittle recipe to ensure it’s gluten-free by design, not by accident.
Here’s what goes in:
-
Premium peanuts, top quality peanuts for optimal flavor and crunch
-
Pure cane sugar and corn syrup
-
Honey for natural sweetness and a hint of warmth
-
Baking soda to create that light, airy crispiness
And what doesn’t go in?
❌ No butter
❌ No artificial flavors or colors
❌ No preservatives
By keeping our ingredients clean, short, and understandable, we ensure a product that’s not only gluten-free, but also proudly free from artificial junk.
Certified and Transparent: Trust Every Crunch
We know trust has to be earned, especially in the gluten-free community. That’s why we’re transparent about our process and always happy to share what makes our brittle different.
We work with US-based, high-quality suppliers. If you're someone who shops for family members with dietary restrictions, or you're managing your diagnosis, you can rest assured that our brittle is:
✅ Gluten-free to below 20 parts per million (ppm)
✅ Labeled clearly with allergen information
✅ Safe for gifting to anyone who is celiac or gluten-sensitive
Why We Use Honey, Not Butter
One of our signature differences at Brittle-Brittle is that we use honey, not butter, in our peanut brittle.
Why?
-
It’s naturally gluten-free and adds depth of flavor.
-
It makes our brittle suitable for dairy-sensitive individuals (bonus!).
The result? A light, crisp, shatteringly perfect brittle with a rich flavor that lingers, and none of the worry that comes from confusing ingredient labels.
Safe Gifting for Every Occasion
One of the most stressful parts of gifting for people with allergies or food sensitivities is the question of safety. Is this gluten-free? Can I trust it?
That’s where our packaging and brand commitment shine.
Whether you're shopping for:
-
Holiday boxes
-
Mother’s Day / Father’s Day care packages
-
Graduation treats
-
Party favors or wedding welcome bags
Our gluten-free brittle makes it easy to share something thoughtful, without second-guessing the ingredient label.
Each batch is sealed for freshness, clearly labeled, and packaged for effortless, worry-free gifting.
Still Delicious. Still Indulgent. Still Brittle.
Gluten-free shouldn’t mean compromising on taste.
We created our gluten-free peanut brittle to be indulgent, not restrictive. Our recipe delivers that satisfying snap, the perfect crunch, and the abundance of peanuts— all without gluten, dairy, or additives.
