Women-Owned South Carolina Snack Crackers Made for Crunch Time
K&K Gourmet was founded by longtime friends Kim and Kristi, whose shared spirit of curiosity, creativity, and hustle turned a beloved family recipe into one of South Carolina’s favorite snack foods. What began with “Jimmy’s Crack,” an addictive cracker recipe served in their Columbia retail store, quickly became a customer obsession and inspired the creation of 6 O’Clock Crunch—an all-cracker snack mix made for happy hour, game day, gatherings, and every craving in between.
Made in South Carolina, K&K Gourmet’s handcrafted cracker mixes are seasoned for bold flavor and irresistible crunch in every bite. Whether you prefer the classic Original blend or the Spicy variety with an extra kick, 6 O’Clock Crunch is the perfect addition to charcuterie boards, tailgates, parties, or an afternoon snack.
