Before the invention of candy, mankind had to make do with "nature's candy"—fermented cabbage, fruit the monkeys didn't want, and live, feather-covered Peeps. Get a taste of sweet innovation with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of premium brittle and artisanal foodstuffs at Mrs. Annie’s Peanut Patch, located in Floresville.

For more than 23 years, Mrs. Annie has been dishing out homemade sweet treats and natural snacks blended fresh, one pot at a time, every day. Sugar-lusting customers can peruse the plethora of premium brittles and artisan eats, and bury bicuspids into brittle classics such as peanut brittle (16 oz., $7.95) and pecan brittle (16 oz., $8.95), or spiced up jalapeno peanut brittle (16 oz., $8.95). Flavored peanuts—Spanish-roasted, spicy hot, or sugar-coated (7 oz., $2 each)—shake the foundation of legume traditionalists, while Mrs. Annie’s all-natural peanut butter ($3.75 for a pint) makes for the perfect PB&J sandwich or a delicious solution to roof repair.

A member of Go Texan, a state-sponsored program designed to encourage Lone Star-centric commerce, Annie’s also purveys local products including Fowler’s Texas Pure Honey ($5.25 for a 12 oz bottle).
