History

Established in 2010.

Pecan Jacks™ celebrates the love of life and confections with our dessert first mentality.

Co founder Veronica Wyatt’s passion and pursuit for the perfect sweet started at an early age when her grandfather would let her eat dessert first.

As an adult, she and her husband, Tim, vacationed in Southern coastal cities known for their pralines. Craving their favorite sweet treats when they returned home, they tried numerous recipes, but always ended up tossing them. Until one day, they set out to achieve the perfect praline on their own.

With a belief that it’s important to take time out for the sweeter things in life, it’s no wonder the idea of adding liquors to pralines came to Veronica and Tim while vacationing in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was a simple inquiry, really. What if they infused Caribbean Rum with pralines to make them even more decadent? And so they did, and, as it turned out, liquor made the pralines a creamy and irresistible treat.
