We are having a “Bake-Swap” For our Church Small Group Tonight and so I pulled out an Old Peanut Brittle Recipe My Great Aunt had sent me a few years ago and decided to give it a try last night. This turned out GREAT and it was sooo easy. Much easier than the last Peanut Brittle Recipe I tried so I wanted to share it with all of you.

I packaged these in Clear Celophane Bags I purchased at Hobby Lobby and I tied them with Some Red & Green Ribbon. Also I added in my Merry Christmas From The Schislers Gift Tags I ordered on Vistaprint!

What is your Favorite Recipe Idea for the Holidays? I’m thinking we should set up some kind of Recipe Exchange. I think everyone would love to swap recipes… Any Ideas on how to do that??? lol.
Do you know why it calls for RAW peanuts?
I just made your Peanut Brittle. It’s cooling now! I hope it turns out. When I added the butter it smelled like it was burning.
Could you also include some tips on how to clean out the bowl and the spoon? After pouring out on to a foil cookie sheet the balance in the bowl turned as hard as rock within seconds. It took about 30 minutes to chip off the spoon and bowl.
Hopefully ours didn’t over cook. How many watts is your microwave.
Thank you!
What temp. Is the microwave u used?
What wattage is your mircowave? That would make a difference in the time to cook it for.
