The Original Road Trip Treat: Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll

Is there anything more iconic on an American road trip than biting into a sweet, crunchy Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll? For decades, travelers have made Stuckey’s a must-stop destination, fueled by nostalgia and taste of this Southern classic.

But what makes the Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll stand out from any other roadside snack? Let’s take a drive down memory lane to discover how this legendary treat became a part of America’s road trip culture.

A Sweet Tradition That Started in Georgia

It all began in 1937 when W.S. Stuckey, a pecan farmer from Eastman, Georgia, set up a humble roadside stand on Highway 23. While his fresh pecans were a hit, it was Ethel Stuckey’s homemade pecan log rolls that truly put Stuckey’s on the map.

Combining a fluffy nougat center, maraschino cherries, buttery caramel, and freshly chopped Georgia pecans, Ethel perfected the recipe that remains unchanged to this day. It wasn’t long before travelers couldn’t resist stopping for this unique blend of sweet and nutty goodness.
