Peanut brittle season is here…soon.

Members of the Bluffton Senior Citizens Association will start creating this season’s batch of Bluffton’s favorite holiday candy at 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 4, at the Senior Center, according to Tonya Meyer, director.

“Each Monday in November we create nearly 150 pounds of peanut brittle,” said Meyer. “It takes many volunteers to make this happen. We always invite new volunteers to join us.”

Meyer said that the division of work is simple: men stir and women knead and spread the candy on cooling sheets.
