This is a really good recipe! The second time I made it, I accidentally added a little too much lemon juice (from a bottle, since I had no lemon fruit). It was very lemony, but still tangy and tasty. So it's pretty forgiving, but I advise that you go a little lighter on the lemon juice end of things!

Awesome and easy recipe! Like everyone else said, be prepared to move fast at the end! I used both raw Spanish peanuts and salted roasted peanuts and had no problem with the peanuts burning. I put the nuts in at the beginning and all turned out fine. This recipe is great and easy for even the beginner. Get that candy thermometer though! Total time from start to finish is about 15 mins. Right after I poured the brittle, I set the pan in some hot water which made cleanup easy.

Oh definitely will make this again! It's a great recipe but I would double all the ingredients because the serving was too little. However, it was way too sweet, even after I reduced the sugar to 2 cups of brown sugar and 2 cups of confectioners sugar. I think I would reduce it to 1 and a 1/2 cups of white sugar for future reference. And for all those people who didn't succeed the first time, make sure while you're dissolving the sugar into milk and butter that you heat slowly on low and increase the heat every 2 minutes until you get to medium heat. Don't start timing until it's a hard boil and make sure you don't over boil or under boil.
