At Pecan Jacks, we're famous for the variety of flavors that keep lines out the door, and nowhere is that more true than with our unique 21 & Over Ice Cream Series . It's our little secret for the grown-ups who are looking for a special, sophisticated treat. In this series, VP of Growth Cory Mosley and Co-Founder Tim Wyatt delve into the details of one of our original and most beloved adult flavours: Limoncello Ice Cream . A Bright, Smooth Summer Staple Our Limoncello ice cream is the perfect answer for those craving a bright, creamy, and refreshing dessert. "Limoncello is very bright. It is perfect for summertime when you want a little after-dinner something special ," explains Tim Wyatt. We craft this flavor using Parnelli Limoncello , resulting in a dessert that is: Real Mild: It's not overly strong, but delivers a pleasant, subtle lift. Bright Lemon Hit: The citrus flavor hits the palate just right. Super Smooth Texture: Like all Pecan Jacks ice creams, it is incredibly smooth, never "crystally," and avoids the scratchy texture often associated with lower-quality ice cream. This flavor has been a staple in the Pecan Jacks lineup since our very first week, proving its appeal to customers right from the start. The (Boozy) Batch That Started It All The Limoncello flavor has a great story about a memorable customer and a slightly-too-spirited first batch. Tim recalls the early days of crafting the recipe: "Grandpa came in... he sees Limoncello on the board... I give him a sample, and he goes, 'Oh, man.'" The problem? It was the very first batch, and we were still perfecting the measurements. Tim admitted to cracking open three bottles of Limoncello in that first batch to get the flavor profile right. "It was way too strong... The next week, I had to make more. But grandpa got two scoops... and the kids are just buzzing [from the sugar], and he's sitting there, and he's just as happy as he can be. I said, 'You doing okay?' He said, 'You know what? I think I got a little buzz off of that ice cream! We promptly worked on that recipe until it was perfected to be just right—a bright, delicious flavor that delivers an indulgence, not a buzz!

At Pecan Jacks, we believe in bringing a little Southern sophistication to our sweet indulgences. While our handcrafted chocolates and classic ice creams bring smiles to all ages, we have a special line of flavors just for the grown-ups: our 21 & Over Ice Cream Series . In this edition, Cory Mosley, VP of Growth, and Co-Founder Tim Wyatt are diving into the story behind our undisputed champion of the spirited line: the Maker's Mark Bourbon Praline Ice Cream . It Starts with the Praline (or Praline) The foundation of this legendary flavor is our famous bourbon praline. (And yes, whether you say "pecan" or "pecan," or "praline" or "praline," we love you all the same—just don't correct us when we answer the phone with Pecan Jacks! ). The bourbon praline itself has a delightful origin story, courtesy of Co-Founder Tim Wyatt’s son, Dustin White. "As he came of age, he said, ‘Dad, you got to do Maker's Mark Bourbon Praline, it's the rave!’" Tim recalled. "I don't drink, so I said, 'Okay, we'll give it a try.' And we came up with a recipe for it. It became very famous up and down the East Coast, going out to festivals." The Delicious Double Dose of Bourbon The transition from a famous candy to a signature ice cream was a natural, and delightfully bold, move.  To create the ice cream, we take those perfect bourbon pralines and chop them into a caramelized, crunchy crumble . This crumble is then mixed into the creamy base, giving it a texture similar to a butter pecan or pralines and cream. Even after cooking, you still get a rich, authentic flavor from the Maker's Mark. But Pecan Jacks doesn't stop there. To ensure the flavor truly sings , we then add more Maker’s Mark bourbon directly into the ice cream batch itself. Because what’s better than a little Maker’s? A lot more Maker's! This double-dose of Southern flavor—from the crunchy praline pieces and the infused creamy base—is why the Maker’s Mark Bourbon Praline remains the number one flavor in our Spirited line. It is a mandatory, staple flavor that all Pecan Jacks locations must carry!

The Pecan Jacks family is growing, and we couldn't be more excited to share the story of our newest franchisee, Randy Akys , who is bringing the joy and deliciousness of Pecan Jacks to his hometown in Georgia . Vice President of Growth and Franchise Development, Cory Mosley, stopped by to chat with Randy shortly after he signed his agreement, discussing his experience from the initial inquiry to joining the team. The Pecan Jacks Difference: Team and Energy For Randy, the decision to join Pecan Jacks was about more than just the product; it was about the people and the culture . "I am amazed at the team environment here," Randy shared. "I'm amazed at how the owners of Pecan Jacks have brought this organization together. It has been an amazing experience . My wife and I are looking forward to becoming a franchise owner and making sure that we grow the brand and continue working with the team." This enthusiasm for our brand culture underscores one of the core principles of Pecan Jacks: building a supportive, family-like network for our entrepreneurs. A Non-Pressured Path to Ownership The journey to franchise ownership can often feel daunting, but at Pecan Jacks, we are committed to a process that is clear, informative, and entirely pressure-free . Randy’s four-month discovery process was guided by our team, focusing on providing him and his wife with all the necessary information to make an informed decision. "The process experience was amazing . I worked with Ken throughout that four-month process time. He was very informative . The meetings were on point," Randy recalled. The most important takeaway for prospective owners? "There was no pressure at all . It was more so giving or providing the information and myself and my wife making the decision whether or not we wanted to join the family." We encourage all prospective franchisees to take their time, review the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and consult with their own legal counsel. We want partners who are 100% confident and excited about their decision.

Imagine the bell-like snap of rich, perfectly tempered chocolate, followed by a cool, clean burst of peppermint. This isn't just a treat; it's a memory in the making. At Pecan Jacks, our Peppermint Bark is more than a seasonal favorite—it's a testament to the artisanal quality and product innovation that sets our franchise apart. As we move into the holiday season, this unique, handcrafted confection becomes a powerful driver for both customer delight and revenue. The Pecan Jacks Difference: A Recipe for Quality Pecan Jacks doesn't cut corners. Co-Founder Tim describes the product with genuine pride, highlighting the specific, high-quality ingredients that define the Pecan Jacks standard: Layered Perfection: Our bark is a dual-layered masterpiece. It begins with a base of dark chocolate , followed by a smooth layer of Belgian white chocolate , both expertly tempered for that signature crisp texture. Coolness and Silkiness: The top is finished with crushed peppermint, providing that "coolness of the peppermint" that contrasts beautifully with the "silkiness of the dark chocolate." The complexity satisfies both the dark and milk chocolate lovers. Handcrafted Confections: We craft this as a traditional bark and shape it into charming Christmas trees or ornaments —perfect stocking stuffers and ready-to-go gift items that increase your average ticket size. “It's a layer of dark chocolate that's tempered and then a layer of Belgian white chocolate on top... and then we sprinkle the peppermint on top.” A Seasonal Star: The Peppermint Bark Ice Cream The artisan quality extends right into the freezer. Pecan Jacks leverages its core product to create a compelling, limited-time offering: Peppermint Bark Ice Cream. This seasonal flavor combines the same Belgian white chocolate and dark chocolate chunks with the refreshing kick of peppermint. Seasonal flavors are a critical part of a successful dessert franchise model, as they: Drive Repeat Visits: Customers return specifically for a limited-time special they can't get year-round. Provide Content Hooks: They offer a natural, high-interest subject for local marketing and social media campaigns. Showcase Versatility: They demonstrate the depth of the Pecan Jacks menu beyond year-round staples like pralines. Psst: Pecan Jacks Co-Founder even mentioned that some franchisees, if it's their favorite, keep the flavor around all year! You have the flexibility to cater to your local customer demand. The Franchise Advantage: Leveraging Seasonal Revenue Streams For a Pecan Jacks franchisee, the Peppermint Bark launch isn't just about fun; it’s about strategic profitability. This single seasonal product creates multiple, high-margin revenue streams:

At Pecan Jacks, we believe a great dessert shop should be more than a place to get a treat—it should be a genuine part of its community. Our commitment to local flavor and social responsibility is perfectly captured in one of our most iconic, delicious, and meaningful ice cream creations: Theo. Theo is an icon along the Gulf Coast, and for us, this creamy, celebratory flavor is a direct expression of our brand’s core values. The Sweet Story of Theo the Turtle Theo is the local mascot for a powerful cause. This beloved sea turtle represents a foundation that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support sea turtle conservation and education along the Gulf Coast. As one of the founding businesses involved with the Theo initiative, Pecan Jacks recognized we had to contribute in the best way we knew how: with world-class ice cream. By supporting Theo, we help teach the public how to keep our beaches safe for nesting sea turtles: flat, clean, and dark. This includes covering up holes dug in the sand and using appropriate lighting. When a customer buys Theo ice cream or Theo merchandise (from plushies to ornaments and books), they are enjoying a delicious treat while actively contributing to local conservation efforts. This unique, purpose-driven offering strengthens our bond with the community and gives our customers another compelling reason to choose Pecan Jacks. What Makes the Theo Ice Cream an Explosion of Flavor? While the mission is serious, the ice cream itself is pure, vibrant fun! Theo is a birthday cake ice cream that delivers on the promise of a sweet celebration. Here is the perfect scoop of what’s inside: Birthday Cake Base: A rich, delicious base that captures the classic celebratory flavor. Gluten-Free: No one misses out on this community favorite—the Theo flavor is gluten-free. Cream Cheese Icing Swirl: We top the ice cream with our homemade cream cheese icing, tinted in bright colors to match the Theo branding. Sprinkles and Colored Marshmallows: The flavor is finished with colorful sprinkles and soft, chewy marshmallows for a delightful texture contrast. It’s an explosion of sweet, creamy goodness that has become a staple for locals and visitors alike. The Franchise Advantage: Customizing Your Community Flavor The Theo ice cream flavor isn't just a success story for our existing locations—it's a powerful demonstration of the menu flexibility and customization available to Pecan Jacks franchisees. As a Pecan Jacks owner, you are encouraged to connect with your own local market. Do you have a beloved local sports team, a unique regional mascot, or a specific charitable cause close to your heart?
