Half a century of fun
The Nut Factory started in 1952 as a
roaster of peanuts. We are located in Spokane, Washington. Over the years The Nut Factory
has grown into a large snack food manufacturer. We ship over 400 product every day to
businesses everywhere throughout the United States.
Caramel and Butterscotch are made in
similar ways to toffee, as is fudge. The difference is in the degree of boiling
temperature and the ways in which they are cooled. This whole process uses high-heat to
convert sugar. Crystallization, graininess, and whether it is brittle or smooth are simply
variations of this process.
There is an interesting FACTS area in our website as well as a TRIVIA section.
Both have many interesting stories on things about nuts, cooking, and related items
of interest....
