This is really tasty, and a WHOLE lot better than store-bought peanut brittle.
DIXIE PEANUT BRITTLE
Baking soda - 2 tsps
Butter - 2 Tbsp
Light corn syrup - 1 C
Peanuts, shelled but with skins left ON - 4 C
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Sugar - 2 C
Water - 1/2 C
In a heavy saucepan, heat syrum, water, and salt to a rolling boinl. Add peanuts. Reduce heat to medium & stir constantly until syrup spins a thread (293 degrees Fahrenheit). Add butter, then baking soda. Beat rapidly & pour on a buttered surface, spreading to 1/4" thickness. When cool, break in pieces. Store in airtight container.
Makes ~ 1 pound.

I use to have a recipe for peanut brittle made in the micro wave. Since my girls are all grown I don't make it anymore. I leave it to them to make it. ;)

That looks really good, hubby likes peanuts and I like cashews. I bet I could substitute cashew pieces for the peanuts and it would be just as delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us, we appreciate your support and don't worry about the "brain fart" previously - we all do it. HUGS!
