What's cooking today? How about Dixie Peanut Brittle!


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.

  10. That brittle really looks good. I stopped by from the blog hop and I am following you thru GFC. I did not see Facebook or Twitter so I could not follow them. Let me know if I need to come back. I would love a follow back when you get a chance. Thanks for the help and have a wonderful weekend.

  13. 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.
    Thanks for linking up with us, we appreciate your support and don't worry about the "brain fart" previously - we all do it. HUGS!
