...my chef brother gave me this recipe...years and years ago...like early 90s I think...I can remember making it at the house in Balsam Grove...
...Scout loves Peanut Brittle...and I probably don't make it often enough for him...
...just gather a few simple ingredients...
...this recipe goes pretty quickly so I like to have everything measured out ahead of time...
...microwave the sugar and syrup...
...add the peanuts...
...microwave again...add the Earth Balance and vanilla...and stir...
...then add the baking soda and stir quickly...it foams up a bit...
...spread it on your prepared baking sheet...
...and let it cool and harden...
...and break it into pieces...
...we store ours in a pyrex bowl...now in the wintertime when the air is relatively dry...it's probably not that crucial...but in the summer when it's humid...it will quickly become a solid stuck together mass if it's not stored in an airtight container...

ReplyDeleteI love this but as I have a mouth full of fillings I am very cautious!

ReplyDeleteAre you sure that recipe calls for "microwaving". Don't think your brother does it that way. HAHA
