Peanut Brittle

Peanut Brittle

I have been making this peanut brittle more years than I care to remember. I got it years ago from a family member. One taste and I was hooked. She made hers so thin it snapped when it broke. If you want it that thin, butter 2 forks and pull the brittle out from the edges right after you pour the brittle onto the marble. Wait until it cools to break it up into pieces.

  4. Have ready a piece of buttered foil on a cookie sheet. (or a marble slab-buttered) Pour out quickly being very careful not to touch the candy mixture.
  5. It is very hot. I like it thin so I use 2 buttered forks and pull the peanut brittle from the edges to thin it some.
