Have ( had. 1 died) two toxic sisters and nothing good to say about brother in laws. ( child molester was the worst one) Mom asked me in December 2000 what I wanted to do for Christmas. I said something that sisters didn't bother with you at Thanksgiving, let's go to Florida! ( live in Pennsylvania) . Ask if serious. Came out of my mouth.! So we went to Florida for Christmas and sometimes Myrtle Beach for New Years. She was legally blind since 2001 or 2002 . Which had to do with sisters and stress. They are/ were 12 and 16 years older than me. In April of 2010 we took the Panama Canal Cruise. That was cool. I was never married ( different story. I am 57. Lol) Always seemed like the 9th or 10th day we would have a fight . And then that night be alright. Lol Funny stories on that too. 🤣 sorry babbling. I just don't understand people that can't even call their loved ones and you touched my heart knowing that another person had so much joy doing something for a parent ( and I know your Mom too) . I miss my sidekick Mom . I Hope everything is well with you and your family! Take care!

    My grandmother was a dessert pro. She could bake pies, cookies and cakes like nobody's business. She'd whip them up in no time flat.
    She made tins of 🥜 brittle every Christmas so we could give them out to our teachers when we were in school.
    We still make a few batches and give them out to family and friends.

    Pour it out on a half sheet pan (buttered of course) and pull it out with two forks as thin as possible and you will not only get twice as much but it also is more brittle and tastes better (I don't know why it tastes better, but it does). For a real taste treat, sub those mixed nuts in the big jars from Costco at holiday time.

    I'm on my 3rd diabetic attack as I sit in my chair here today and I haven't even tried making it yet, but just enjoying the heck out of watching this video on TH-cam! ;-) I love this stuff, but when my wife buys it, I can't help myself, but to eat almost a complete bag in one setting. My older neighbors (I am 72, so age in older means they are likely 5-10 years more than me) occasionally make up some peanut brittle and share it with us. However, that is generally at some special occasion or holiday. I feel for people who have dentures and can't really enjoy this candy as much as they would like. Congrats on your fight with cancer. Hope you stay in remission for a good long time. My last remaining sibling passed away with a rare throat cancer during this horrible lock down for Covid. She had battled breast cancer for over 25 years, but, sadly, that throat CA got her in the end. My prayers for all who suffer from that disease. Any rate, hope I can get my wife to learn how to do this candy making as she often makes up treats to take to her work for other employees there. Me, I do a lot of our cooking now days, so I'll have to try this out for myself, as well. One question though: Can it be made with success by using a sugar substitute instead of fine granular sugar? Any taste difference if done like that? Thanks for sharing this video.

    Yes my grandmother taught me to make brittle over 50 years ago. And I’ve been making it ever since , the old fashioned way. I’m gonna have to try it in the microwave. I make it all through the year for my kids and grandkids. But I’m getting on up there in years and it’s getting harder for me to make. So for the sake of my kids I’ll try your way. But you’re right, not many people make it anymore homemade. My kids love to eat it but won’t try to make it. I have made it with peanuts , pecans , cashews and I’ve even made coconut brittle. It’s all great. Bless you

      I'm like another Poster's father, never cared for peanuts, pecans were always my favorite, and Grammy Sarrett used to pour some out for me right before she added the nuts. (Pecans are so expensive I never asked her to make me some with pecans... Save them for the pie we all loved.)
      Thinking about doing some with walnuts. I've become more interested in them lately since I found out how healthy they are for you and cheaper than the pecans I love so much. Might make some Walnut brittle!
      I read all the comments before I posted this. So many memories tired up with making candy and other good stuff, takes us back to where times were simpler.
      Thanks Tammy and Chris, for taking us there.
      ps. I assume Chris was with you today. This is the first time I remember him not chiming in with a comment or two. Hi, Chris, we love you too!

Last year was really hard on my stomach but it was the most delicious mine was pecan brittle I had ever had. Others who I gave this to set the same thing best they ever had. Thank you so much for everything. Merry Christmas and be safe.

    “See’s Candy” makes the best peanut brittle I’ve ever had. It’s easy to chew, doesn’t stick to ur teeth, and they use butter too. I have 98% duplicated it. If this one is better or good, I will surely make it a few times a year.
    This recipe surely looks like a good one! I make butter brickle too. Do u make that as well? If so, u have another video class waiting. 🤣👏👏👏

    The term “parching/parched” in relation to the peanuts threw me until I realised you were roasting them. It is interesting that although we speak the same language, local terminology can be so different and sometimes confusing.

      I’m old AND from the Deep South, and I’m fairly certain “parched”, like me, is not only old and Southern, but “country”. City people used the term “roasted. I recall seeing and hearing “parched peanuts” in reference to both home preparation and local vendor sales. Also, I recall parched peanuts being prepared from raw, in the shell rather than being unshelled, however, I think that part is irrelevant. 😎

Some even ask if she still doing it. She uses an old iron skillet on the stove top. She has since refined the recipe. She uses dry roasted peanuts and leaves out the extra salt and vanilla flavored corn syrup. It works. It's hard to stop once you start. So good. I am going to try the microwave recipe and see how it goes. She also lines a cookie tray with tin foil. It peels right off once it cools. Save some extra calories. Peanut brittle is like pecan pie. It looks way harder than it really is. GOD bless.
