Who is behind the JK Brittleworks Magic?
Jackie Ketchel
Jackie is the creator of all that is amazing in the brittle goodness you love so much. Each and every batch is crafted to perfection. She started making pecan brittle as a young bride, looking to stretch the family budget for gift giving to encompass her newly expanded family at Christmas. As life went on, budgets were not so tight on the home front. When she decided one year to expand her budget to giving store bought gifts to family far and wide there was a tremendous uproar! No! We do not want just any old gift, we NEED your brittle! The masses of family cried! We sit by our mailboxes awaiting the goodness that is your brittle. Please! Do not stop sending us the magic you send from your kitchen. Alrighty then, she continued producing that magic. Over the years she shared the magic with friends and family far and wide. They were tired of waiting for Christmas for the brittle goodness and began requesting a batch here and there. Soon people with retail shops asked if she could make it for them to sell. Well, why not? And a brand of amazing Brittle Like No Other! was born!
Jim Ketchel
Jim is the "Indispensable Cog" of the operation. Jim has stood at the ready to happily hand out the brittle goodness to any and all comers. Jim's favorite activity is to gad about town and make people happy. He saw there was a need for organization and bookkeeping (who likes paperwork? JIM! Who likes meeting new people and sharing the magic of the brittle goodness? JIM!) Jim took over all of the little legal things like filing taxes, registering the company name and any other detail that made Jackie's head hurt (that's a good man, Jackie will keep him!)
Between the two, Jim and Jackie work tirelessly to bring the magic that is JK Brittleworks to retailers far and wide. Now everyone can revel in the brittle goodness year round. No more waiting for a special occasion to sample the goods! Don't hoard it, Jackie will make more and Jim will make sure you get it!
