CLIMB UP THE
TOWER AND GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO
DO THAT.
>> IF YOU ARE STILL DOING YOUR
HOLIDAY SHOPPING, STILL, I
HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED -- THIS IS
IT.
LISTEN UP.
I'M CRACKING MYSELF UP.
IT'S SO TRUE.
WE HAVE THE GIFT OF BRITTLE.
>> AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE BRITTLE?
HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT UNCLE
RAY'S PEANUT BRITTLE IS COURTNEY
HI.
>> HI.
>> UNCLE RAY IS AN ACTUAL
PERSON, RIGHT?
>> HE IS.
>> HE'S MY 88-YEAR-OLD GREAT
UNCLE RAY.
A CHARMER IN EAST HOUSTON.
THIS.
TODAY YOU HAVE SUCH A VARIETY OF
TYPES OF PEANUT BRITTLE.
THIS SIDE.
>> THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY THE GEM
OF THE BRITTLE LINE.
IT WAS KIND OF ALL THESE RECIPES
ARE BASED OFF MY GREAT UNCLE
RAY'S ORIGINAL RECIPE.
HE'S MR. PEANUT BRITTLE HIMSELF.
BUT HE TOOK THE BRITTLE, THAT
RECIPE AND STARTED MAKING
BUTTER NUT.
BUT THE BACON WE CAN WAS WHEN I
MADE IT, I WAS LIKE OH, MY GOSH.
>> THERE IS YOUR PICTURE.
>> THERE IS MY PICTURE.
I LOVED HIM.
HE IS SO CUTE.
>> YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE KATY
HOLMES IN THAT PICTURE.
>> OH, YOU DO.
SO WHAT'S YOUR EARLIEST MEMORY
THAT YOU REMEMBER WITH PEANUT
BRITTLE AND UNCLE RAY?
>> SURE.
SO WE ACTUALLY BECAME REALLY
GREAT FRIENDS IN MY EARLY 20S.
IT'S A SWEET, SAD STORY.
AS MY GRANDMA WAS PASSING AWAY,
HIS SISTER, WE KIND OF BECAME
FRIENDS AT HER FUNERAL.
IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS
WHERE I'D GO TO HIS HOUSE.
WE'D HAVE COFFEE.
WE'D EAT BRITTLE, WE'D TALK
ABOUT LIFE.
I'D HEAR HIS COUNTRY QUIRKY
CAJUN SAYINGS AND WHAT NOT.
TEN YEARS.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> SO GOOD.
AND ALSO I THINK IT IS SO COOL
THAT YOU FOLLOWED YOUR PASSION
TO START THIS BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE SOME STUFF I HAVE NEVER
SEEN BEFORE, LIKE THIS.
>> SO FANCY.
>> THIS IS DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE,
BUT ALSO IS LIKE GOLD LEAF?
>> YEAH.
SO WHEN I WAS MAKING THE BRITTLE
TO DIFFERENT FLAVORS, I DIPPED
THE BACON PECAN IN DARK
CHOCOLATE AND I THOUGHT OH, MY
FANTASY.
AND SO FOR VALENTINE'S DAY, WHAT
DOES SHE WANT TO GET?
THE GIFT OF LOVE AND LUXURY.
SO I DUSTED IT WITH GOLD
LEAFING, GOLD FLAK FOR FANCY
SAKE.
>> DID YOU EVER THINK THAT THIS
WOULD BE YOUR BUSINESS?
>> IT'S INTERESTING.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT YEARS AGO --
ACTUALLY I LOOKED AT THE PEACE
CORPS AND MY GREAT UNCLE RAY WAS
SENDING ME THE BRITTLE THERE.
PEOPLE WENT BONKERS FOR IT.
WHEN I CAME BACK, I USED IT TO
DO A CROWD FUNDING CAMPAIGN TO
HELP CHANGE A WOMAN'S LIFE SO
SHE COULD BECOME A BUSINESS
OWNER OF HER OWN.
SO SINCE THEN, I KIND OF TOOK
OVER THE REINS AND THOUGHT HEY,
I COULD DO THIS.
>> YES, YOU CAN.
>> GIRL POWER.
>> I MEAN, THAT'S SO AWESOME.
WHAT A GREAT STORY.
>> I COULD SIT AND EAT A WHOLE
BAG HERE.
>> THE GOLD FLAKED ONE IS NOT
AVAILABLE UNTIL FEBRUARY.
>> IN FEBRUARY.
