The Baking Podcast

Melody and Taunya go head to head for the title of the best brittle! Melody makes a traditional peanut brittle, while Taunya goes rogue and makes an almond brittle AND then a peanut cocoa nib brittle. They also introduce their mama (who will probably not listen to this week’s episode—although she’s great). The sisters also give an update on the business. You can email the sisters at thebakingpodcast@gmail.com--They would LOVE to hear from you! Be sure to join the Facebook group, it’s happening! Just search for “the baking podcast group”.
