My Dad’s birthday was recently and I decided to make him a special treat, something he loves, but almost never gets…Peanut Brittle! It also gave me a good excuse to test out my new candy thermometer. I decided to use Alton Brown’s recipe for peanut brittle, and it came out great! I left out the cayenne pepper, but the cinnamon gave the brittle a great flavor. Just make sure you do use a candy thermometer and be sure it gets to 350ºF (as stated in the video.) I tried to make it again without the thermometer, judging just by sight and I must have taken it off too soon because that time it did not come out right at all. Still, when it’s done right it’s a delicious treat. My Dad loved it and I am really excited to make more recipes using a candy thermometer…Toffee perhaps?
You can find a video of Alton Brown making the recipe here and the a text version of the recipe here.

I can attest to the fact that your peanut brittle is delicious!^^ Looking forward to trying the recipe myself.
Great presentation. I’ve never been a huge fan of peanut brittle and I still want to eat the whole box. Recipe looks fun too.
Lovely recipe , keep up the good work ! I am impressed !
Wow that looks amazing and delicious! I miss this one, it was a specialty in a place where I grew up
It certainly takes me back to my childhood and I haven’t made it since then, might just have a go but with a different nut as I am no longer a peanut fan. Saying that i love peanut butter and it in baking and savoury….odd I know
My dad used to make this stuff all the time. Ahh the memorys. Great Idea for a cheecake toping
