What you need:

One of my husband’s favorites is Peanut Brittle. We were at the Farmer’s Market the other day and purchased some for like $5-$6 for a small bag and it got me thinking I could probably make that! So low and behold, I did! Here’s a simple, easy, and AMAZING Homemade Peanut Brittle Recipe! It’s probably the best brittle I’ve ever had and my stomach kinda hurts right now from eating it (and yet as I type I’m still eating it…dumb).

I bought this cute little container at Target for one dollar and hope to make some more brittle soon for my son’s teachers as a fall treat! An easy treat that takes no time at all, is cheap to make, and is SURE to please!

    Do you use salted or unsalted peanuts? Do you use the redskin ones?

      Use raw peanuts. …sometimes hard to find but if you use roasted peanuts they will be mushy.

      You could? But it would be advised to do it with…they’re not much money and are good to have. I think mine was under $10 at Target.

        I make mine in the microwave. Do not need a candy thermometer and it turns out delish every time. Easy peasy.

          Hmmm…I’m not sure how you’d know what temperature it gets to to make sure that it’s the right consistency, but I’m sure you could play around with it.
