Thank you for this recipe - it was my second attempt at peanut brittle and extremely successful! I did have to cook it for about 10 minutes to reach a "yellow" color but I think that is due to my old and inconsistent stove. I used about 1 2/3 cups of lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts - next time I will use just a little more and a bit more baking soda as well, although this batch is pretty near perfect!

This was a very easy to make and the peanut brittle is wonderful! I cannot eat the sticky stuff but this is so crunchy and does not stick to your teeth. This would be a great recipe for gifts and one that I plan on making often. Thanks for posting!

WOW!! This was the best I've ever had. It was light, crunchy, and didn't stick to the teeth. This was my first experience making anything with a candy thermometer. It took a while, but it definitely is worth it. Thank you for such a yummy keeper, Miss Annie!
