Ingredients:
1 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup white corn syrup
1/4 Cup water
1 1/4 Cup raw peanuts
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon butter
I was raised without religion . But watching your channel , has made me realize. Not only my love of cooking, but love of Christ. So many years I missed.
I have tried several different recipes for cashew brittle and failed at every single one of them. I finally came across your video, and it was such a blessing! You taught me how to make my first successful batch of brittle, which my whole family loved! You teach with such Grace, explain everything in detail, and made me understand how and why certain ingredients are so important, (such as the baking soda, and raw peanuts) and didn’t make me feel stupid for not knowing! I loved how you talked about God! Everyone nowadays are scared to do so, so I love it when I find someone who actually does! Thank you so much for making this video! It was extremely helpful, and it came out absolutely delicious! God Bless you in the highest!!
As a suggestion I keep my cookie sheets in a 200° oven until ready to pour the brittle. The hot cookie sheet allows the brittle to spread easily keeping it thin. I got that from my Betty Crocker cookbook, the orange cover. I learned to cook using that cookbook. Thank you for sharing your faith.
I've been making peanut brittle at Christmas since 1968 & people love it! I learned about heating the pans from my cashew brittle recipe, but I go to 300° & it's great! I also lay a double thickness of a bath towel on the counter & place the hot cookie sheets on it. That gives the brittle a bit longer to spread thinner before it gets hard. I really want to try my hand at caramels!
Thank you for sharing 👏👏🛌
@@rosemarycreollo4326 I hadn’t made Carmel’s in many years so the other day I was at my daughters and we were baking for Christmas, I thought I would make some……. Well my daughter is impressed telling me I made a pretty candy “tray” 😏
That pan of Carmel is harder than steel 😞
I ruined two batches of fudge too 😡
I should know better than have 3 things boiling on the stove at one time, I didn’t save any time by trying to be efficient 🙄🙄
Good luck with your Carmel’s, I might try again today 🤷🏼♀️
Merry Christmas

If we're going to tell on ourselves, I have to admit that my 1st batch of peanut brittle came our hard as STEEL! Made it for my Dad (was his favorite candy) without a candy thermometer. I was too slow using the "drop in cold water" method that it cooked way too long! As far as I knew, he ate every bite of it - but you know how Dad's are! He said it was the best he'd ever tasted! One of my more precious memories. Wish I could make a batch for him today! 💕
Great idea!
My grandma always sent us her homemade brittle from Wyoming around Christmas time. She passed away this December 1st so I’m going to attempt to make this in her honor. Crying as I write this, she was just so so special. Thank you for a very helpful video!
im sorry for your loss,its been a year now,i hope your doing ok
I have used this recipe for 20+ years. People ask me for my peanut brittle all the time. I usually double the ingredients to make a batch. Thanks Miss Becky for letting me into your kitchen for a little while. Your channel is awesome.
One year I forgot about how much it foamed up when I added the baking soda. I tripled the recipe and it foamed up so much it came way out over the top of the pan and made a huge mess. I’ll never do that again. lol🙀
Use Spanish peanuts
I just happened up on your videos and I really enjoy them. The one thing that keeps me coming back is the fact that you speak up about Jesus. So many people are afraid that they will offend someone. Stay strong! Thank you!
I want you to know that I appreciate you, Becky, and your TH-cam channel. You’re really good at reminding me what love for God feels like. I’ve had a hard time with grief and can’t seem to overcome the anger I feel, but you’ve managed to soften me just a little and I thank you for that. I love you, Becky
I love you, Linda. I will keep you in my prayers. I know how hard it is to give God that pain and anger, but when you let go God will free you. He will replace the anger and grief with peace and joy. I wish I had the words to tell how good life can be if you just trust God and give Him all that pain. God Bless You!
I have never made peanut brittle before, however, I tried making this and it was absolutely the best brittle I have ever eaten!! Very easy to make and so worth the effort. I am so glad I ran across your site.. A true blessing.. Thank you.
Amen .You are so right.It took me a long time to finally learn to put God first.You are a blessing. I'm so glad that I found your Channel
Wow Becky I never expected to hear you talk about my Father in heaven on your teaching of how to make peanut brittle ! Well I must say that my Jesus I love him ! But I do say also that you are a blessing to me and say whoever your husband is , is that he is so very blessed to have a wonderful God loving woman as you are ! You are an inspiration to me and thousands or millions of people throughout the world ! God bless you beautiful lady !
Oh my , you really made me cry when you mentioned God . Thank you ! I remember making this with my Grandfather . Same recipe . Brings back so many wonderful memories . I put God first !
We have 4 kids and it's only through the Lord that we've kept going after our home burned. We struggle for the most simple of lifes needs but we do it together and the Lord lets us know hes still with us. I love your recipes thank you so much!!!!!!
fallenangelwi25,
💜📖↪" Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. "
ROMANS 15:13 ↩📑💜
May G-d Bless you greatly, Praise HIM all day every day, I know you are going to be fine
@@maem7636 thank you and same to you!!
@@patriciatreslove4449 thank you same to you. Our neighbor just called and is bringing a buck for us to have for food!!! The Lord is good even in dark times!!!!
fallenangelwi25 So true. He’s good especially in the dark times. But sometimes we can’t see just how good until we’ve passed through it and look back to see how He brought us through. Something I’ve learned over the years is that sometimes the Lord delivers us FROM the bad times and sometimes He goes with us THROUGH them-like the 3 Hebrew children through the fiery furnace-they didn’t even smell like smoke.
Tried this brittle Christmas 2020, it came out great the first time. I’ve never made any kind of candy before and just followed your directions.
Thanks!
Thank you for your strength that comes through easily, almost second nature. You are right, it is a habit we need to learn to help us in smoothing out life. Been through some bumps as well, like loosing my hubby 8 years ago, my mom , and my brother just last winter. One of my sisters three years ago. It’s hard to loose our loved ones. But the Lord grows sweeter as the years go by. He is my strength. I don’t often share on these videos but felt a kindred ness to you.
God bless you, Doris. 🙏💖
Not much of a baker or candy guy, so I was a little nervous to try this but your video and instructions were spot on! Huge hit with the family! It sure is refreshing to know that there are decent people out there doing well, decent things and spreading the positivity! Thank you!
At 2:10 you said a teaspoon of baking powder. You better add BAKING SODA! I have made peanut brittle many times and I have found that 300 degrees is not necessary. 290 will work just as well. If you put your cookie sheet into the over set at 200 degrees it will warm the pan so that the peanut brittle will spread much easier.
I love that I get to hear about God while learning how to cook🥰
Me toooooo🥰🙏🏼❤
I SECOND your comment Amen & Amen 😀 ....
Just made this, I did not have a candy thermometer, but did the cold water in a glass test and came out perfect!!! Thank you and God bless you Becky. Praying for you and your Family this Christmas and always. Love to you all!
I love the fact that you are making all of the candies from back in the day.
Wow,people stop giving thumbs down.just stop watching the video instead of being rude
May Christ richly bless you and yours, dear sister, and keep y'all in the hollow of His hands. Love your videos!
What beautiful words, "in the hollow of His hands".
I'm not a religious person but I wasn't going to fast forward either! Really enjoyed this vid.
Maybe he is trying to get your attention cause he has plans for you♥️♥️♥️
I don't mind listening to you telling us about God. I don't want to front foward it. I love hearing you talk about the almighty God. He's an awesome God ! 😊
Thank you for reminding us that Jesus is the reason for the season. :)
I really love her accent! it's so cute and charming.,
The Bible says that prayers from the saints are a pleasing fragrance of incense to God🙏 Thank you, Becky.
Amen 🙏
Amen. In the mornings, I wake up hurting so bad that I can’t walk. I’m going to have to pray hard before I get up in the mornings. Thank you Becky. I needed to hear this. I’m not Bible smart at all.
@@stalinaevans629 God knows your heart. Pray what you feel, he already knows❤️. Feel better
I
Prayers from ordinary people are equally valued, God does not play favourites, we are all his children.
I just absolutely love watching and learning from you while you're making candy. More importantly, I truly love hearing you talk about the Lord! What a true blessing you are! Thank you! God Bless You and Your Family!
Merry Christmas, God bless you!
@@TheHillbillyKitchen Thank you! 😊 🙏
When we use to make Peanut Brittle years ago, we would put either Hershey bars on top of it while it is still hot, and it would melt all over the top. Plus if did not want to use Hershey Chocolate bars, you could use Chocolate chips. And the type of Chocolate you use is up to you, you can use either milk or dark chocolate, we always used milk chocolate.
That would be a yummy version, too. Have some both ways.
How would you break it into pieces when chocolate is on it. I'm really interested in this recipe and your opinion so Gaston gently how how would that work cuz I'm interested in making that thank you for helping out and giving us your opinion thank you bye
@@gloriaheston3920 It would break up the same way as English Toffee would. English Toffee is a similar recipe but uses brown sugar, not white.
@@rhondaalbrecht
Would you use the same measurement as the peanut brittle but use brown sugar instead of the white or can you please share the toffee recipe? Thank you
May God Bless you.🙏🏾 Your faith in God our Father is spiritually contagious. You have Blessed my life❤️
Thank you for taking the time to talk about our Heavenly Father! I really needed to hear that today! ❤️
Thank you Becky, I've use this recipe for Christmas candy and it was a huge hit. I used almonds instead of peanuts, it's what I had at the time.
I came across a few of your videos lately. I have been struggling with my relationship with God. Thankyou for sharing his word as you teach us your secrets to cooking. I feel that the lord has sent me your way. Now to make that brittle♥️🙏♥️🙏
Becky I like to start my day with prayer and end my day with prayer!!! There are times where I pray during the day as well!!! I like to make cashew brittle instead of peanut brittle but your recipe is exactly the same as mine except I don't add vanilla to my recipe!!! When you're cooking the nuts you can actually smell the Nets differently when it starts to turn!!! Love your Channel!!! Love all your recipes!!! I am now watching all your older vlogs!!! God Bless You and Your Family!!!
Woman of God you have so blessed me with your Godly wisdom. Thank you sooooo much!!!
Give us today our daily bread. Do all to the glory of God. GOD FIRST.
My dad, mom,and whole family loved peanut brittle. Thank you for the recipe. I love your verses from the bible. Love our lord 🙏
My neighbor gave me a 5 lb bag of fresh peanuts from her brothers farm. I don't eat much peanuts & she mentioned peanut brittle, I always bought store bought, but not after seeing your recipe. Super easy, super delicious!! Thank you!
At first, I wasn't going to watch this vid because I thought it was too long. But the longer I watched the more I appreciated the insights into making good peanut brittle. Your instructions were simple and very easy to follow. I'd searched for a recipe to help me make it for the first time and I found it here! Thanks for sharing with those of us who don't know what they're doing! BTW, since 1976 I have kept God first! Yippee! Hallelujah!
Also, I pray you ALWAYS give us a message from your heart while you're cooking. Being basically home bound because I have seizures and can't drive myself to church, sometimes you sharing God's word is the only Christian interaction I may have that day or even week!
I understand 🙏.
I have the same problem no way to get out not even to church I live in a rural area and my kids have all moved away but I thank God everyday for all his blessings I do get out 2x a month for shopping so I am blessed
Guys, look up Big Family Homstead Devotionals on TH-cam. Brad does a good job giving Devotionals every week day.
To chrissyzcreationz and Gail Denny,
I am sorry for my delayed reply. I hope you are both able to get what you need during this crisis. Thank you both for watching and being a part of the Hillbilly Kitchen. You are in my prayers. God Bless You Both!
@@TheHillbillyKitchen can you use other healthy sugar substitute like liquid type, hopefully it will work out ok 🙏🏼thanks
Used your recipe today to make brittle and it turned out awesome!!!! Last time I attempted to make some it turned out grey and didn’t get hard. Then I remembered that my grandmother always used a wooden spoon. I have gotten a few of your recipes to try!!! Love all your videos. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas 🎄
Those were some really good tips. I live by the ocean,so the humidity tip about not doing it on a day it rains is awesome. And you cracked me up when you said that it takes awhile getting out of bed in the morning anyway when we're older so we may as well be praying. Hilarious and so true!
I love some perfect, light and crispy, peanut brittle, but it is hard to find. That is how I came to your channel. When you took the time to speak of God, particularly this day in time, I knew I was in a good place and I subbed.
Thank you for subscribing. Welcome to The Hillbilly Kitchen and God bless you!
Mmmmmm-mmmmmm-mmmm!!! Can't wait to try this recipe! And thank you for the Christ-like message!
I just want to tell you that I enjoy your channel and we seem to have a lot in common. I’m also a Christian grandma who is still learning to put God first. I think if we lived close we would be good friends. Thank you for sharing your recipes. I have southern roots and all of your recipes are very familiar to me. One of the conversations we had around the Thanksgiving table this year is that one of the daughters-in-law needed to come visit and learn how to make my grandmother’s cornbread dressing as I’m the last in my family that knows how to make it since my mom passed away last year. Sad and beautiful at the same time. God bless you and your channel. ♥️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this amazing and easy to follow recipe! I made several batches for Christmas and is now a family favorite! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love your outlook on PUTTING GOD FIRST! THANK YOU for reminding me of that. Yes I pray for over food , I pray to get me to work and back home safely, I don't listen to the radio in my car because that's my time alone with The Almighty. But Its nice to remember to put God first every day. ❤
Grew up in church and went to the school. Ladies of the church would make brittle on some days so we could go selling on Saturday 😃 Oh the memories walking up and down Mission blvd in Hayward CA. But we could snack on the warm pieces chipped off before packaging them up. 😋 yum. I’m going to attempt to make some with my granddaughter’s 🥰✝️🧎🏻♀️💚 Thank you and your love for Jesus show’s through your videos 🥹❤️
One day I discovered how to make peanut brittle From recipe cookbook. And I made it every single night. And it’s the same way you make it. Needless to say, my daddy stood there and watch me make this peanut brittle. And boy did the whole family enjoy it. Thank you so much for giving us this original recipe that I have been making since 1969 when I was still a little girl. Not so little anymore. I’m now 70 and still love making this recipe, thank you so much❤
Thank you so much for reminding me I always need to put God first. God has been so good to me and he deserves my prayer and Bible reading. I know my day goes a lot better when I do! Thank you once again!
Thank you! I have had more fun watching your videos the last 2 days. You are doing a labor of love because making these videos and uploading them is not the easiest of tasks.
ty for all you share with us. My Grandma was a great cook. When she was with us i just ate and was happy I'm now 48 years old and wish I would have learned from her. TY for sharing with us you remind me of her. : )
I'm trying new recipes this year for Christmas. Thank you for detailed description!!
I was blessed & reminded by your lil chat about ALWAYS PUTTING GOD FIRST! God said "In all your ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him"! So TRUE! Our lives have much more meaning when we stop to praise Him!
May God continue to bless you!❤
Thank you. Because of you sharing your lesson in this video, I said the Lord’s Prayer in bed before I got up. It makes so much sense. God bless you. Merry Christmas.
I make mine in the microwave. Fast & easy. Have the local old time recipe. My grandma was the best cook. Live in the Peanut capital of the world slogan. Dad was a Peanut farmer so we had plenty raw peanuts.
Oh my goodness! I have been making sweets for Christmas and my sweet husband of 50 years can’t eat chocolate. The rest of us love chocolate. I wanted to make him something special. He loves peanuts! I just made some, and it turned out great! My husband loves it! Thank you for your videos. I love the faith messages you give us also. God bless you and have a blest Christmas.
I am amazed how God just keeps putting his WORD before me in ways that keep making his message clearer and clearer. Thank you and God bless♥️♥️♥️
Could listen to you all day!! Great video, please keep it going. God Bless
My husband told me he wanted some peanut brittle for Christmas. But, I have no idea how to make it. So I purposefully looked up your channel because I figured you would know how to make it. And you DO!! I’m going to find some raw peanuts and try your recipe. Thank you for your tips and thank you for sharing your faith. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ✝️
I started making peanut brittle a few months ago. Make it the same way except I add the butter at the end with the baking soda and vanilla. I appreciate you sharing your faith too. God Rulz!☝🏻
I love your videos Becky, I'm 51 now but started making Peanut Brittle a few times a year since I was 10-12 yrs old pretty much just like you did until a lady in our church (in our church cookbook) shared a microwave recipe. I was skeptical but tried it...LOL, it works so much easier and the results are the same so for the last 15 yrs or so that's how I do it. You just cook it about 4 minutes and stir, then 4 more minutes and stir. When it's close to done add the butter & vanilla, cook one more minute ish, then add the baking soda and pour it out. Love your Bible lessons as Well, praying for you alot, so sorry about you losing your husband. God Bless you all. Larry Robinson (Graham Tx.)
Thank you for posting this , I’m gonna try it . BTW .... super great camera man !
Similar to my grandmother's recipe that we make all the time, the only difference is we leave skins on the peanuts and roast them in the oven, and also we don't use baking powder we use baking soda makes a world of difference light and crunchy
In the beginning she said Powder but when she added it she said baking soda...she just made a mistake the first time.
Yes, she first said baking powder, and at the time Of mixing, she said baking soda?
I was surprised she said baking powder at first too. I've always used baking soda. I think you're right... she just misspoke the first time I think.
I have been taught to cook alot of the recipes when i was a kid, now i am 46 and i teach my daughter to cook these these foods along with our Cajun recipes . great videos .
Thank you. I just got it. Put God 1st. Look me long enough. Bless you for being a part of my Christian family. Love your recipes. You're so relaxing to listen to.
Thank you Becky for this recipe. I have never made peanut brittle myself, but as you pointed out there are good peanut brittles and there are not so good peanut brittles. God bless you for the time you spend educating the rest of us, and thank you for your evangelism of God's word. Big hugs to you! xxxxx
In the early 60s, visiting friends in Tennessee, we made peanut brittle, so yummy. Thanks for bringing back fond memories. Our trip to the Smoky Mountains was fantastic, driving up through the clouds, watching the wildlife.
Mom Grandma,
Sounds like a beautiful memory. I wi
I gotta start with prayers first to start my day while waiting on my pain medicine to take affect . Usually I just pray for help when something goes wrong or I need help with something, and of course I was raised to say prayers at bedtime and ask god to help others. Love your channel , Thank You Becky.
Ahhh .. using your new little dishes! They look lovely on screen. Thank you for sharing your cooking secrets with us .. Bless ..
It was really good seeing how you make Peanut Brittle. I haven't had it in years and like it. And I enjoyed your explanation of putting God first, is so true. As a Christian, I am blessed by the Lord using you, scriptures of encouragement. Also I am new to cooking with Cast Iron. Reminds me of my childhood in the south, now as a senior here in NYC, I enjoy cooking with my Cast Iron pans. May the Lord, Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your family.
What a blessing! Thanks so much for telling us the old old story! You added to my life today and I am grateful!
So much fun to remember what my southern momma used to make during the Christmas holidays. Thanks for sharing. Good memories. I might even try making it myself someday.
Absolutely delightful instruction, and blessed Christian exhortation with it!! Most natural, genuine, loving and considerate. This sister is a national treasure and a sure emblem of the best of American culture. Thank God for her.
I remember making this with my grandmother, and she made it the same way you did.
GOD FIRST ALWAYS! That’s right you don’t get out of bed without praying!
Your recipes always look delicious and your videos make me feel relaxed. I could listen to you talk about cooking and God or other random topics for hours. I appreciate that you incorporate God into your videos. It’s very refreshing these days and your positive messages are so helpful. I love your channel! 😃
Thank you for your message of faith! I needed to hear that at this moment and I’ll definitely be trying to make peanut brittle this week! ❤
I made this for my dad as a gift and he loved it, thankyou for sharing this amazing recipe 💖
I’m a new subscriber and I love the way you talk about The Lord during your videos!!
❤️🙏❤️
I always use cashews. I also do mine in the microwave. 7 minutes and it's done. Sugars 3 minutes. Add cashews 3 minutes. Vanilla and butter 1 1/2 minute. Stir in baking soda and pour. Makes great brittle.
Thanks for the info! Merry Christmas, God bless you! 😊
Awesome idea! Can you post your recipe?

@@debshilling1353 yay to you!!!! I wasn't sure if your recipe had brown and white sugar so I thought I'd better be sure.
Thank you!!
Happy Holidays!
@@twayaware506 welcome. Merry CHRISTmas 🎄🎁
God Bless you!! Thank you for being bold for Christy!! 🙌🏻🦋💜
Your videos are excellent. Teaches real country cooking. ( I'm a rural Kentucky boy).
Thank you for the delicious recipe. I can't wait to try it. It looks so good, and easy. May God Continue to Bless you and you're family.
Thank you Sister for this recipe. I just made 4 batches for give aways. They came out so delicious!!! God bless you for sharing this recipe and look forward to using more of your recipes🥰. Merry Christmas
Becky, thanks for this one especially! I lost my recipe for this and it comes at just the right time. God bless!
Thanks for the most informative peanut brittle recipe. Most other ones don’t explain a lot of the details that you cover.
My Grandfather made this often. He loved it!
Omg I love peanut brittle. I had a recipe for the microwave and it was amazing but I lost it. I’m happy now that you are giving us a recipe for the delicious candy. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for spreading the word of God. This is one reason why I love your cooking show, plus all the wonderful recipes.
Thank you for talking about God our Lord and saviour amazing!
My mom used to make it when I was a girl and when she pulled it off the stove, she would actually butter her hands pull the brittle thin. She worked very quickly, It was so light and crispy. I have never had any brittle as good as hers! Thanks for sharing all your tips. I may have to try this.
As always a joy to hear and see your show plus the baking soda is a wonderful idea!
I’m so glad I found your videos. I just love cooking but cleaned carpets today. I’m going to make my candies for Christmas tomorrow and in the next few days. Im probably your age and your Sunday School lesson is true. Always say good morning Lord not oh Lord it’s morning. 🙏
Can't wait to try this recipe. One of my precious elderly friends used to make me peanut brittle. Haven't had any since she passed away.
The stirring is the key. I learned that anytime I make candy, stir until it's done. Thanks for the tip on raw peanuts. I had been using roasted peanuts. I'll give it a try on my next batch.
I love your videos, but I love those little words of wisdom you share. You just bless me so much.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. MY FIRST TIME ,AND MY HUSBAND LIKED IT !!! JUST LIKE HIS MOMMA MADE. Thank you for your time and witnessing. God Bless
So very true and many blessings to you and yours. Love God and give Him all the glory!!
I send out Our Daily Bread to 36 people every morning for the pass three years. This pure enjoyment that I do most of the folks who read ODB would read even if they had the booklet. They enjoy getting thru email.
This is the best recipe I've gotten to work. Thank you. God is good.
This is the 2nd Xmas I have used this recipe. My family loves it and can’t get enough. This is so easy and she explains it very clear. Love this channel and I can’t wait to try more recipes. Thank you for sharing ❤️
❤ Brought back memories of my mom making peanut brittle when I was a child. She did not have a candy thermometer but she did check to see if the mixture would string and for change of color.
