Oh yes. The brittles (peanut, cashew, black walnut, Peco flake, and pecan) were the biggest sellers along with the fudges. We would make the different kinds based on sales and because we supplied the Riverboat, Grand Palace and Village shops, as well as the Ozark Marketplace, you could imagine why those took precedence.
In the basement of the candy shop, we have a production center where we make A LOT of other candies. June dips most of the clusters that you see up by the sales registers while we also make the taffy base for the taffy factory in the morning.
We also make the 3 Layer Coconut, Fool's Gold (Peanut Brittle without the Peanuts), barks, caramels, and the hard candies which are the sticks and the pillows. If you ever make your way to the middle of the galloping bridge just past the candy factory, you can smell what is being made inside the basement as the exhaust is directed out that way.
To answer the last part of your question, in the winter there are hard candy stick demonstrations using the batch roller. It fits with the season and because the air is less humid, you can make it upstairs....plus it is themed to the season.
