Peanut Brittle: Dessert

Servings: 6

Prep time:15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 

  1 cup Sugar

• 

  2 tablespoon Butter

• 

  1/2 to 1 cup Nuts (peanuts or pecans)

Step 1:

This is so easy you will never buy peanut brittle again!

Step 2:

Melt the sugar in a skillet on medium heat, cast iron works best. As you stir, the sugar will become crumbly first, then smooth as it melts. Stir constantly to avoid burning the sugar.

Step 3:

Once the sugar has fully melted, stir in butter and nuts of choice.

Step 4:

While hot, pour on greased cookie pan, 8X12 or larger (one with a rim, not a sheet), allowing the mixture to spread out over the sheet.

Step 5:

Let cool. Break into pieces. Peanut Brittle makes a wonderful Christmas treat or gift. It makes a good afternoon sweet treat to set out on a coffee/tea station for your guests to enjoy.
