I had no idea what a cheese wafer was in 2015. Bits and Pieces had just begun with its only product, peanut brittle. Since Bits and Pieces was a weekend warrior business at the time, I worked my regular job as a hygienist 4 days a week. We were often blessed to have our patients bring us homemade goodies. One day, a patient brought in a cheese product. It was about the size of a half dollar. I knew in an instant that I wanted to try to recreate it. I got her recipe and set to work. After many failures and tweaks of my own, I was able to create my own recipe around my favorite ingredients. Over the years and 10,000 hours, many tweaks have been made and the cheese wafers have become our topseller.
In 2020 our business, like so many others, faced a new challenge. Since Covid had shut down so many of our markets and events, we had to find a new way to reach buyers. That is when we began working on the wholesale side of our business. As with all things new, there is a learning curve. Our wholesale business is now growing all over the southeast and you can find cheese wafers in a store near you!
The latest challenge involved one of the products used in the cheese wafers becoming unavailable due to the company’s inability to get the ingredients to make it. You might imagine the stress of not being able to produce your best product. I love to create, just not under that kind of pressure. After a few months, and the grace of God, the ingredients became available again. Once more, we began producing just in time for another growth spurt.
We hope you enjoyed learning the back story of our most popular product!
