cop414 · 14 December 2016, 09:28 AM

We're sitting here watching the news chomping on this stuff right now, will have to make more soon.

Bluside · 14 December 2016, 10:53 AM

Blu, if it doesn't get hard the first time just roll it up, fold it in half put it back in the cup and reheat another 3-4 minutes. I had to do this twice, I must have the most wimpy microwave in the world. Finally turned out great.

JohnBaker3 · 8 December 2017, 07:17 AM

Hey Guys:

It's time to make some more brittle for the 2017 Holidays!

The wife picked up all the ingrediants today at the grocery store and we will be working hard in the kitchen this weekend!

Be safe and be sure to share to sweetness!

JohnBaker3 · 18 December 2018, 09:49 AM

Hey Guys:

It's the 2018 season already!

Picked up the peanuts and Karo Syrup this afternoon; with a little luck we will stuffing the Christmas tins with sweet goodness tonight!

Be safe,

G8RDPM · 18 December 2018, 11:34 AM

I should have been a dentist!

It looks fantastic!

JohnBaker3 · 19 December 2018, 07:35 AM

Here is the first batch for 2018!

Rockrolex · 19 December 2018, 07:51 AM

I love peanut brittle, John. That stuff looks awesome.

cop414 · 19 December 2018, 08:29 AM

John, I forgot all about this, thanks for bumping it. I’ll be making a batch tomorrow or the next day... or both!

BNA/LION · 19 December 2018, 12:32 PM

Awesome!

cop414 · 20 December 2018, 05:58 AM

Well, here it is! This is so much better than I remembered. I used dark corn syrup again, turned out amazing. I first looked at it and thought, this won’t even make it through the weekend. Then I tried a piece, hell this might all be gone tomorrow!
Thanks again John

Burlington · 20 December 2018, 06:58 AM

Looks delicious - Christmas treats can’t be beat !

Tim:

Your batch looks great!
And, your granite counter is just like mine!
Have a Merry Christmas!

Bruin Watch · 20 December 2018, 07:38 AM

These all look excellent. Will add to the holiday recipe list and hopefully can try it out! Thanks OP.

cop414 · 20 December 2018, 07:55 AM

John, this stuff is awesome!
Gotta love the black granite, hides everything including chips and scratches!

Brenngun · 20 December 2018, 12:40 PM

Hey John. I'm going to try this. Thanks for the bump. Like Tim I forgot all about this. Have you tried this using brown sugar instead of white?

cop414 · 22 December 2018, 11:24 PM

Batch number 2! A couple hints if anyone making this great recipe is interested, I’m still using dark Karo, I upped the raw peanuts to 1 1/4 cups and to give it a flatter shape right after you pour it onto the cookie sheet I put butter on the backside of a pancake turner and press it flat. OMG this stuff is great!

Compare your cookie sheet to mine...I think the big thing is that they both have "patina" to add extra flavor!!

cop414 · 23 December 2018, 09:53 PM

John, I know! I purposely chose the oldest most used one that we have! Probably going to make a third batch today.

Rock · 23 December 2018, 10:46 PM

I LOVE Peanut Brittle.
Now I'm going to have to buy some raw peanuts and give this a try.

What's up Sarge!

Oh my Lord that looks great!

Cheers John for sharing this.

I like thread bumps like this.

cop414 · 24 December 2018, 12:17 PM

Hey brother, all good here for the most part. Wishing you and yours a great Christmas!

JohnBaker3 · 6 December 2019, 11:55 PM

Hey Guys:

Time to break out the kitchen utensils and start making some more great peanut brittle.

I will post pics when the first batch is cooling on the cookie sheet!!

PS: It's hard to believe but this thread is 5 years old!! Time flies when you are hungry!!

MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE RECIPE

1 cup sugar
1 cup raw peanuts
1/2 cup Karo syrup
1/8 tsp salt

Mix the above ingredients in a pyrex measuring cup and microwave on HIGH for 3 1/2 minutes.
Remove, stir, return to the microwave on HIGH for another 3 1/2 minutes.

Remove and mix in the following ingredients:

1 tbsp salted butter
1 tsp vanilla

Return to the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.

Remove and add 1 tsp Baking Soda and stir QUICKLY; then pour onto a buttered cookie sheet...

Let cool for 15-20 minutes and break into pieces!

NOTE: Every microwave is a little different in power output; you may have to adjust the cook times for the best results....

So when you say "raw" peanuts do you mean raw or just shelled, cause the peanuts in you picture look roasted?

Raw means uncooked in this context; here is what I use!

Be safe

cop414 · 7 December 2019, 10:42 AM

Yessssss! Thanks John, I never make this until you bump the thread. Going for the raw peanuts tomorrow. If any of you haven’t made this stuff you’re really missing out!

I adjust John’s recipe just a bit by using dark Karo and up the peanut amount just a smidge. This stuff is like molten glass to work with so be careful. Also as soon as it’s poured onto the sheet I have a buttered spatula ready to press it flat. It’ll do it on its own but I like mine thin.

You guys absolutely have to make some of this!
Merry Christmas!

RW16610 · 7 December 2019, 11:16 AM

Glad to see you guys keeping this tradition going! Be sure to post pictures once it's done!

Oh man, it looks great! It must also smell incredible! Your guests must be very excited for gatherings!
