Peanut Brittle
Make old-fashioned peanut brittle just like the professionals. Who would ever think making candy at home could be such fun!

Very good stuff! My recommendation for getting the finished product off the pan is to use parchment paper, lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Or use Aluminum foil. I have had success with both methods. Good luck.

I was glad to see that the online recipe is exactly the same as the one in my old Betty Crocker cookbook. My husband and I made two batches yesterday. We followed the recipe to the letter and used a candy thermometer, and it turned out great. The only problem we had at the end was that it was really hard to get the brittle off the pans even though we buttered them. We got enough decent sized pieces for all that we wanted to give as gifts, but we also have a large bowl full of "crumbles" (not really a problem, because we'll eat them!). Does anybody have any advice on how to get the brittle off the pan without it shattering into tiny pieces?

Love this recipe! My in-laws made this for neighborhood gifts last year, and I loved it so much I went out to copy them and am doing it again this year. Super easy, you can see from the photo how nutty it is with 1 pound our peanuts. If that is too nutty for you decrease. I'm not sure why a mother reviewer only gave this 1 star because it was too nutty, that is a personal preference and easily corrected (as she did) and even then said it worked out great. The flavor of this is fantastic. My family and I really recommend using Spanish peanuts which is what the original version of this recipe in the original Betty Crocker cookbook called for. Warning make an extra batch cause once you try this you will not want to share!

I made my first attempt at Peanut Brittle this year. It's my Father's favorite and I wanted it for a gift for him. It was alot easier than I thought it would be and he loved it.

I'm sorry for my obtuse error and would like to correct it. My previous peanut brittle recipe is from Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook, 1966-7th printing 1971.
