Fantastic recipe Lauren. First tried this recipe just after Christmas because the bought stuff is so expensive. I now make a batch every Monday for family and friends, but I add 500gms peanuts, we love the extra nuts. I find it takes about 10 minutes to get to 250′, then another 7-8 mins to get to 300′, then spread the mixture in a large pan, I wait 6 mins for the brittle to cool then score with a large knife so that it breaks into nice even bars when fully cooled. Delicious, never lasts long.

I made this last night using Spanish peanuts, but because of some comments about burning the nuts I waited until 275°F before adding to sugar mix. I also poured onto a buttered cookie sheet without parchment. The brittle easily came off the cookie sheet, and the flavor was great. My only change for next time is to use more nuts.

Made this a week or so ago and it turned out perfect. Couldnt be happier, especially since I’d never made candy before.

Made another bath last night and the peanuts are sorta burnt. Not sure what happened. I used all the same ingredients, tools, and measuring devices. The taste overall is sorta off and the peanuts appear a little burned.

I’ll try again, just not sure what went wrong.

My first time making peanut brittle. Or any kind of candy that calls for a thermometer. Was so yummy, it did not last in my house for long. My mother loves it so much, she has not teeth so she uses a hammer to break the nuts lol.

Turned out so good I made another batch tonight. Easy to make. As others said, be patient waiting for it to get to temp. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Definitely a winner! 🙂

Can you clarify on how to remelt the brittle if it’s too chewy and sticky please ? What do I add when reheating to get a successful product . Tx
