I would like to share with a peanut brittle that airy and crunchy you will not stop to nibble. The secret of delicious peanut brittle, you start with clean utensils because you’ll be cooking your sugar for a long time and if you have something in your sugar syrup it will be burn and it will ruin your peanut brittle. Your baking soda should be new so that it bubbles easily when you mix with sugar. When you pour the mixture of sugar syrup, peanut, baking soda to the cookie sheet don’t stir leave it alone, let the brittle mixture crawl itself. That is the secret of airy and crunchy peanut brittle.
