This was awesome! I didn't have white syrup so I used golden and this was just amazing! Next time I will add vanilla but it is really good without it.

fairly simple recipe. I didn't have a candy thermometer and was pleased that the recipe stated what the appropriate appearance was. I did the old cold water test when the nuts turned brown and was mid way between soft and hard ball stage. It was simple to finish at that point, though I did not need two cookie sheets, one was plenty.

Turned out great. Did change things a bit though. I halved the recipe because I didnt want a ton of candy, also added a little vanilla and butter along with the baking soda. Using the hard crack test worked great as my candy thermometer fell apart the last time I made candy.

This is some fine peanut brittle. I used raw unsalted peanuts as one member suggested to keep from burning the peanuts and it worked fine. I also made two (2) batches one ,I put red food color and the other I put green food color and it was a big Christmas hit.

I made this recipe for the first time last year, and my family liked it so much, they asked me to make extra this year. You MUST make sure you heat to the temperature the recipe says--and the only other thing I noticed is I didn't even have enough to fill one cookie sheet.

I don't know what i did wrong but this recipe did not work for me twice. The directions are not clear as to how long it needs to cook. Does it need to boil the whole time? please be more specific. I'm not a novice but I felt like one. It is nothing but GOO.

Once I added the baking soda and salt the mixture foamed up and almost out of the pan. Then after putting it in the pan it NEVER hardened! It was chewy and stuck together. I guess I must have done something wrong, but I'm not sure what that was since I followed the directions.

This recipe is wonderful. The candy was thin, cripsy and perfect. The only draw back was that it was only sweet. I always imagined brittle to be more on the salty sweet side. If your looking for that effect, I suggest you use salted peanuts or add more salt. Other than that, it really is a wonderful recipe. 4 stars for me

This is the best peanut brittle I've ever tasted!!! I had to make it a few times to perfect it, but once you get the rhythm down, it's amazing. If cooked too long, it will burn the second the baking soda gets poured in so be careful.

This was a good brittle recipe but I think I will go back to my one that is just sugar, peanuts, water and salt. I think that one has a nicer "texture".

The recipe failed to mention that the syrup and peanuts should be removed from heat before adding salt and baking soda. My brittle came out too airy and I think this would have helped. Also, the brittle did not spread - at all. Did I cook it too long? Sorry but I think I am going to try another recipe to see if it turns out better.

This is exactly what I was expecting with Peanut Brittle.. Although it is extremely chewy once it warms up in your mouth. Anyone know if there is any check I can do that would make it less chewy but keep the same taste? This was very easy to make too! Loved it.

This is great!! To anyone that is making this the first time...it really takes a long while to get the mix to the perfect boil! Take your time and they are no fail!! I added 1 teaspoon molasses only because that is what my gramdma always did! It is great!!!
