This was my first time making peanut brittle and it was great! This recipe is a keeper. I followed everything exact and it worked out perfectly. I honestly didn't read any of the reviews before I made it, but I think next time I may add just a little bit more peanuts. I will keep this as one of my recipes for Christmas gifts. Thanks!

This is a great recipe to make around the holidays for a homemade gift. Make sure to use raw peanuts in this recipe, or else the it might end up tasting a little burnt.

Just finished making my very first batch of Mom's!Seems to be a raving success as I used every suggestion.I actually started out using another recipe and decided to check allrecipes for helpful hints and lo and behold here I am! My recipe was a bit larger and I used pecans but, it didn't included salt and it didn't offer advice about how long it took to heat up initially(I thought my thermometer was broken at first)and yes,after 250 degrees it does shoot up fast. I made sure to really watch and not stir overly much at the end. I had everything premeasured ready to pour and stir. I also used over a teaspoon of butter to grease the pan(warm)so the brittle spread all by itself as I poured. I am writing this as I wait for it to cool so I can have some. I broke of some off the wooden spoon I used. Delicious! Now I need to know how do I clean this pot?!!!

I used this recipe to make peanut brittle for the first time. My mother made peanut brittle when I was growing up and the recipe is named correctly, it tastes just like Mom's!

I always thought peanut brittle was too complicated for me to make. I used this recipie for my first time and it was perfect. I did have one little spot scorch but i think with practice that will not happen ay more

I love this recipe and have made 5 batches in the last couple of weeks. I do add 1 tsp vanilla when adding the baking soda and butter as well as warm up the pan in the oven so I just have to tilt it around to spread the candy instead of stretching with forks.

Awesome recipe! The only thing I did differently was to add a teaspoon of vanilla and put it in with the butter. I made another batch this morning and doubled it up! Perfect =)

This was an easy and very tasty recioe, althought the britle was kinda chewy instead of brittle. Maybe fault of my own, but very good. I added pecans instaed of peanuts and only 1 1/2 cups.

I have never made peanut brittle before. Extremely easy and excellent taste. I have made 3 double batches, all perfect....everybody LOVES it. I found it easier to set my cookie sheets at a 45 degree angle and pour, letting it slide on down, rather than forkin it. It is very important to have everything ready in place. Thank you, thank you!!!!! Artsy

I made this for my Grandma and she loved it. Said it was the best peanut brittle she'd ever tasted. I used the warm baking sheet method as another reviewer suggested and it worked out great.

Delicious! I broke my candy thermometer as I was making this, but just kept cooking it until it developed the right color. Turned out perfect! I used cup and a half of sesame honey cashews (from Trader Joe's) instead of peanuts: the sesame seeds went all through the brittle and created a to-die-for texture.

Excellent. Didn't change a thing. I've done many others but none had me put the peanuts in while the sugar was coming up to temperature. This is a nice touch and makes it taste that much more of peanuts.
