12 Reviews of Peanut Brittle

From: MarielC

On Dec 19, 2004

This is almost identical to a recipe I've had for years, except that hard crack is 300F to 310F NOT 295F (except of course at high altitudes). Also, a great tip for making any nut brittle is to use a Silpat, Exopat or other such silicone baking sheet. You don't have to worry about extra butter, the brittle is not greasy and clean up is a breeze.

    Oh, this was very yummy. It turned out beautifully. I've not made candy before - only had a candy thermometer because we needed one for my son's science project. I was surprised at how long it took to get up to temperature. Also, I'm glad I planned ahead and had the pans pre-buttered and the baking soda and butter pre-measured.

    This is great. I used pie pans to pour it into. Get the through away kind. Butter them really good. If you spin them the peanut brittle spreads and the bubbles does not break. This makes for melt in your mouth candy.

    I have been making this exact same peanut brittle for several years now, and I cook it to 295. It turns out wonderful! It's the best peanut brittle I've ever found, and it gets rave reviews from everyone. Thanks foor posting this, Barb... now I will never lose the recipe!

    Thank you for the recipe. I enjoyed this candy as well as my kids. I am however currently seeking a recipie reminiscent to Sees peanut brittle which is my favorite. This one didn't quite make it but it was crunchy and good!

    Barb, I found your peanut brittle recipe 3 years ago and have had allot of compliments on how good it is. My wife is a qualified French pastry chef and she even said it is tops. Thank you very much. I am doing three batches this year to give to the grandsons. That is the only way we can enjoy some for ourselves.
