May I share a tip I learned from another TH-cam cook? If you tightly wad up your parchment paper then uncrumple it and mostly smooth it flat again not only will it stay put on a flat cookie sheet but it can be shaped to fit different shaped pans too. Especially when you snip the corners as you did. Works for me.
My grandmother used to make peanut brittle and the minute she just got the baking soda stirred in, she would quickly dump it onto a buttered sheet pan so that the air bubbles are still in the candy. This would cause the brittle to be very light and airy. Making a delicate brittle. The more that you stir the less air bubbles you'll have. Making the brittle harder
@treeissaved2359 And that, right there, is the wonderful thing about making brittle. Some families, like yours, prefer the lighter air-filled brittle, and some, like ours, prefer the more dense structure. Either way, I am not turning down a piece of homemade brittle, as both are delicious!
@trudybutcher6256 bless your heart, I lost my husband of 19 years and wish I could have spent the rest of my life with him, I'm so lost without him. 💜💜💜
For my turtle candy I use one small pretzel, put one rollo candy on top ,warm in the oven to soften,then place one pecan on top and gently press. Easy to make lots ❤
After pressing the pecan on top of each warmed Rolo, I lightly sprinkle edible candy decorations from the bottle - sold anywhere there are cake & frosting mixes sold in most stores. I use tiniest nonpareils or crystalized sugar or shapes/designs/colors depending on the holiday! Cute for Fall is to use orange sugar crystals and tiny leaf or squirrel shaped wafer decorations on top of lightly drizzled melted white chocolate over each pecan...can get so creative with these simple chocolate carmel pretzel favorites!! You can put two of each in a holiday mini cupcake paper or foil cup for easier serving...yummy treats!
The syrup will cease because the nuts are cold. Adding colds nuts rappidly drops the temperature of the syrup. If the nuts are cold, colder than the syrup. The syrup will cease. If you heat your nuts some before adding to the pot the surup wont cool down as much. It will take less time to get the syrup back up to temp. I also use 2 Tablespoons of baking soda. The soda makes the mixture Fulff up and the cany is lightert and easier on your teeth. While still being crisp and cruntchey. I say keep those bubbles dont smash them out.
Sorry, all, I have the worst auto correct. Also, I am a little slow when it comes to spelling. I just never have been good at spelling. I try to do my best. The worst part is that most of the time, I do not know if I spelled something wrong. I try to use the speech to text option. But as you can see, that does not always help. I'm sorry ❤
I loved all your recipes. Especially the Coconut Haystacks and the Brittle, I make mine in the microwave. BTW your hair looked beautiful so did you, I was just thinking you would make a Beautiful Mrs. Clause. Thank You for your recipes. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁
I used your fudge recipe and put Kit Kats on the bottom of the pan, poured the fudge over and topped with crumbled Kit Kats. Yum!! My hubby isn’t a fudge fan…but loved it!
ohmygod you have _the best_ husband. Star Trek references, supportive comments, finds _all the things_ SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS!! for the actual win though.
How do you have such beautiful videos? What’s your secret? Just like your videos are not like regular TH-cam videos you look LIVE. I don’t know how to explain it.
My Grandparents and parents are gone, I wish I had my Mom to teach me but I would LOVE to have had the opportunity to take my 6 year old daughter into the kitchen and her, My Mom and Myself cook together. She didn't leave recipes, she created them and sadly I'll never have her secrets.
It's so nice to hear stories about other people's Grandmothers , I never got to meet mine on my Mom's side she dead very young at 52 yrs old. Unfortunately, I wasn't even born yet but, My Mom had pics of her n had many recipes of hers in fact ,I make her Thanksgiving dressing every year n tell my own kids who are adults this was ur great grammas recipe n they just love her dressing ...My adult kids have made it for yrs now also n two of my boys taught their wives the recipe . I didn't get to know her but , her recipes n her name live on in loving memories ❤️ ❤️❤️🙏
When I make peanut brittle, I always add vanilla to it before I lay it out like half a teaspoon that I learned to make it everything else about the same😊❤
New subscriber here. I love how genuine you all are, mistakes and all. Everyone makes them and I don't like how some channels pretend they are always perfect. I love to bake and make sweets. Great video and you two are just adorable ❤❤
My mom always put those LaChoi fried noodles into her haystacks, added a bit of salt and crunch to the flavor. Also stretches the recipe so you can make more, which was needed with 4 kids haha!
Hello From Toronto, Canada Sweet Lovin' To Your Dining On A Dime Treats, Recipes And Easy Preparation Techniques! And For Sharing Them! You Are Granny Blessed With Truly Great Recipes And Beautiful Memories.
Back in the 70’s, I made a lot of peanut brittle using raw peanuts and a candy thermometer. It seemed to take forever but was delicious. Fast forward to 2015, my kids admitted they didn’t like peanut brittle. So I started making it in the microwave with roasted peanuts. A lot less work and tastes just as good.
I have my granny's peanut brittle recipe as well. she only used a cup of ice water to test temp. BUT it worked for her. I use thermometer lol. My grandfather used to call it peanut BRUTAL
I should have watched this again first. I was stirring the brittle mixture. Hope it comes out well. Thanks for the recipes. My husband loves peanut brittle and I've been afraid to cook it. Edited to add. It came out great! Yeah!! Thank you. It's a gift for my husband as we decided to do all homemade this year.
🥰 Hugs to all the Grammas & Moms who loved their kitchen & families 💜💜 I never had the chance to meet my grandma and my beautiful heavenly mom couldn’t write well enough to pass on any written recipes 🍯🍎🍑 but I am so happy all of us 4 sisters were there in the kitchen watching her cook & bake w/out a measuring cup ~ now we’re all in our 60’s & We all still have it down thanks to her patience w/us 😊~ she made everything taste good and always found a way to substitute an ingredient~ we were poor but super happy & grateful ❤ Love You Mom - Te Amo Ama 🥰
❤ Im so glad I came across my screen tonite , Cause I lost u 😮 I was a subbie for yrs n u were not on my list in my Utube channels 😮 So thank goodness , I just subscribed tonite ❤
❤ N I'm so glad I got a Fudge recipe n only two ingredients wow how easy ...tyfs yours ...My family has been asking for my fudge on Christmas Eve n I didn't make any but ,now I will for New yrs ... N Happy New Yrs to u & ur sweet hubby ....💕
You have the loveliest skin - smooth, clear and fair, flawless! I have to say, I've never seen peanut brittle with so many peanuts. What we always had was about 50% ratio (or less) of peanuts to candy. Mom always said to only stir one way because if you went both ways, you could 'unstir' the recipe. 😃 I love how we all learned to do things differently but that the end result was always delicious. Thank you for this video!
This is my first time seeing your videos. I will be back. These candies look easy and amazing at Christmas time usually do all cookies but they’re going to be surprised this time. We’re gonna be doing some candy. Thank you this is very interesting.
I like to make 'instant' peanut brittle. Melt a package of Turbinado sugar in the raw in a frying pan, then add peanuts, or raw walnuts, stir and dump out on wax paper cool and break to pieces. You can do this in the microwave too, but it cools so quickly that its difficult to break it into smaller pieces. I gave out one of my Grandmothers recipes in xmas cards this year. It was fun, all the memories, she also taught me how to make real fudge. She always had a batch waiting for me when i visited. Oh, she taught me how to make flakey pie crust too. 😍
You are terrific. Love that your fridge and freezer are full and ya have to find places to cool your goodies. You are so down to earth. Excited to get the fee volume 1 cookbook. This is my new favorite show!!
Never seen haystack candy with coconut. Here, it's made with crunchy chow mien noodles and butterscotch chips. Guess I'll have to make both ways this year. Oh the horror!😂
I was also surprised to see that using chocolate & shredded coconut is also called haystacks. I bet it would be great to combine both the coconut, the chow mien noodles & then your choice of chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
I'm watching from UK. I must say I have totally enjoyed your video. It's just a joy to watch. Informative, a touch if history, funny and yummy too! Thanks for sharing with us. ☆☆☆☆☆
If you cooked the first ingredients until when you stir it, lift the spoon dripping in the pot, it will stream a string about 18 inches long then add the raw peanuts and cook until golden brown. Add baking soda butter and vanilla. Stir and spread on a buttered cookie sheet.
You forgot the Vanilla in the toffee ! My boys won't eat toffee without pecans and vanilla. I also put hazelnuts in my food processor and add hazelnut powder on my toffee as well.
I’m just seeing your videos and plan to watch more. Your Grandma’s recipe box is exactly like mine! I asked my mother for it after my Grandmother passed and also have many of Mom’s handwritten ones. Keeping them is a great way to keep your memories in your heart.❤️
HOW am I just now finding your channel? Im so excited. My Mom died a couple years ago, she was the magician in the kitchen, and these are the kinds of things she would make, and I had no one to show me how. Honest show me how and no one to call as ask questions, and i found ypur channel. I can make goodies for my family now. Thank You!!!! Looking forward to learning!
I just used this Peanut Brittle recipe today. I live in the UK and I've been craving this since last year. This was my first attempt at making peanut brittle and your recipe was/is AMAZING!!!! My 20yr old son who hates everything...loved this and asked for more. So you know it's good. Thankyou so much for this recipe. I put salted peanuts in as couldn't get any other ones, used 1 TSP of salt instead and put the peanuts in at 240F. Then I kept stirring until it was 290F. Perfect!!! The brittle doesn't stick to my teeth and is the perfect crack. Doesn't pull my fillings out of my teeth. Absolutely brilliant recipe, so thankyou xxx
I make white chocolate cherry rum walnut fudge, similar but uses bock white chocolate, 20 or 24 ounces. Men love it. Even if you can microwave it, I cook on stovetop.
I feel like I am in a diabetic coma watching all this deliciousness!! (LOL cuz I am a diabetic) haha thanks for sharing the yummiest am off to the store to start my goodies for th e up coming parties I am headed to. Thanks so much!! The 2 of you are adorable! Merry Christmas Christmas
I make an absolutely delicious, crunchy and light peanut brittle in 14 minutes in the microwave.¹ No candy thermometer needed. Looks and sounds (crunch factor) just like yours. It is so easy and fast that in about the same amount of time (assuming you have 2 8 cup Pyrex measuring cups and 2 silpats) 3 batches could be made and you could keep one complete batch for yourselves and not short the batch you were sending to your mother. LOL. It's also a very versatile recipe. You can vary the nuts and/or the extracts, use mixed nuts or even add additional ingredients (if reducing the amount of nut ingredients proportionally) by stirring in with or just after the baking soda and working quickly. Some nuts do cook or brown more quickly than others and may need to be added at different times. Because the microwave makes the brittles so much faster I haven't found this to really be a problem but there are so many nuts available it might depend on those you use. Softer nuts like walnuts, pecans, those round Hawaiian nuts and seeds like sunflower would definitely need less cook time in the syrup. Have fun with it. I even added ¼-⅜" wide coconut strips seconds before the baking soda. It was a great addition. While the syrup is still very hot, remember that when using the microwave method you are not adding external heat once your Pyrex is withdrawn from the oven. My recipe calls for the same ingredients minus the water. I suppose the water is to prevent the sugars from burning. With all of that stovetop boiling to reach temperature the water must provide the required extra moisture that allows the cooking process to reach the needed temperature. Microwave peanut brittle recipes can be found online. Since you use your microwave in several of your other candy recipes you might like to try it for your peanut brittle at least once. ¹(using a 1000-1200 watt oven. If 1200 watt decrease cooking time by 1 minute after adding nuts).

Yes although she is in the hospital now and may or may not make it but I would say being 51 with a living grandmother has to be some sort of record.

My amish friends in her 70s or 80s makes this almost daily for her store, and she stirs constant once the nuts go in. So trust grandma's recipe

Little trick I learned with the peanut pecan grinder if you go forward it’s bigger chips if you go toward you it’s finer
I had a neighbor who made jalapeño peanut brittle. Absolutely delicious! Looking for that recipe.
This week, I'll be making Christmas candies to give away as gifts. I love the variety of candy recipes in your cookbooks. Thank you!
I've made my fudge this way for at least 7 years now.I have found it to be the creamiest I've ever made.
My mom always put those LaChoi fried noodles into her haystacks, added a bit of salt and crunch to the flavor. Also stretches the recipe so you can make more, which was needed with 4 kids haha!
Love it! It is just like the once you used to do 👏🏻 I love to watch you cook. Hope you are having a great weekend.
To make your 2 ingredient fudge taste a bit richer add a bit of vanilla flavoring!!
Yes, you can also add 1 Tbsp. butter too.

Thanks for the tip!
Hmmm I’ve never seen powdered food coloring!!
I think if you had added some coconut oil, veg oil, or butter you probably would've gotten the right consistency to make the red swirls in your bark.
Coconut oil or shortening
IAM glad you said stir to prevent burning. I made the fudge and👍😁.

While the syrup is still very hot, remember that when using the microwave method you are not adding external heat once your Pyrex is withdrawn from the oven.
My recipe calls for the same ingredients minus the water. I suppose the water is to prevent the sugars from burning. With all of that stovetop boiling to reach temperature the water must provide the required extra moisture that allows the cooking process to reach the needed temperature.
Microwave peanut brittle recipes can be found online. Since you use your microwave in several of your other candy recipes you might like to try it for your peanut brittle at least once.
¹(using a 1000-1200 watt oven. If 1200 watt decrease cooking time by 1 minute after adding nuts).
Great video! 🎄
