I was leery of using so much peanut butter and only put in 1 1/2 cups. It worked fine. Next time I will try the 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter. If you want to use dry roasted peanuts, add them when you add the peanut butter.

1 large pan (change servings and units)

I have been making this recipe for years and everyone loves this. It is not extremely brittle because of the peanut butter in it. Reminds me of a butterfinger consistency. I love this stuff! My advice is to not use a wooden spoon to stir it together. I have broken them. Also, have your pans buttered and ready and have another person there to help you because it sets up very quickly!

    I'm giving this 5 stars not for being the best peanut brittle, but for being a different kind of peanut butter candy. It was fabulous. I made a double batch, followed directions to the \
