My dad and grandma used to have Peanut Brittle Battles every year in the days leading up to Christmas. They used Grandma's recipe (different than this one) and weren't battling for who did it best, just who'd finish first. They'd cook side by side on the stove at Grandma's. I helped them once or twice (I was grown when this started). After Grandma died a few years ago, Dad and I have continued the tradition but we call it Peanut Brittle Party instead. We don't race each other, instead, we work together on one batch, with a second pot at the ready and just make as many batches one after the other as we've energy and ingredients for. The recipe and method differs some from the one shown in this video. We put the base ingredients (no nuts) in and heat them to a certain temperature, monitored on a digital thermometer. It's fun sitting by the stove watching the temperature increase and excitedly calling out the numbers as it approaches the key temperature. That's when the nuts are added, and we let it cook some more without stirring until it reaches the final temperature. Again we sit by the stove and excitedly call out each increment. It doesn't go up steadily, sometimes it cools off and we'll make comments about that. But when it gets near "go time", we man our stations. Dad's responsibility is pulling it off the heat and stirring, stirring, stirring. Mine is dumping in the finishing ingredients (baking soda (I think), vanilla, and a tablespoon of butter). After the butter melts and everything is stirred in, Dad dumps it out on the cutting board I previously covered in heavy-duty non-stick foil. Our batches are too large for a baking pan, they'd be too thick. Grandma used to butter the bottom (underside) of the pan and spread on that, but a few years ago Dad discovered the foil and it worked so well that we now use that, no need to butter a surface, and the brittle isn't as slippery anymore. Then I have the job of spreading it all evenly and thinly. He then submerges the pot and utensils in a sink full of hot soapy water, to make cleaning easier. If you let it set too long on the pot, spoon, or spatula it hardens and becomes difficult to remove.
We make a lot of the traditional peanut brittle, but we also like experimenting with different nuts (sometimes even mixing them, when we don't have enough nuts of one kind for a batch) and using honey instead of corn syrup. This year I want to try using flavored honey.
Now that's a fantastic family story. The details to perfect this brittle recipe proves an old saying. Simple, not easy.
I like rum flavor.
If it's tough cleaning off cerface how much harder to clean it from our insides.
I made your recipe today, and I'm here to say it was delicious and so easy!! I ordered peanuts from Amazon but they won't be here for another two days. I couldn't wait and used chopped pecans I had in the pantry instead. Delicious!!! As soon as the Amazon peanuts get here, I will make another batch as I'm sure the pecan batch will be long gone by then. The flavor almost reminds me of Werther's. I'm one of the most picky eaters in the world, so trust me everyone......make this recipe if you have a sweet tooth!!
Way to go!
I used your directions and it turned out wonderfully! Thank you for your help.
Wonderful!
I am in a puddle because my mom made peanut brittle just like this every Christmas! Thank you for bringing back many wonderful memories!
My first job as a teen was to make peanut brittle and Carmel corn for a candy store in Portland Oregon. This brings me memories
Just curious, what store? Morrows at Lloyd Center? Yum! I live in Oregon!
How fun to watch you make peanut brittle. I used to hang out in my grandma’s kitchen and watch and help and learn from her while she cooked on a wood stove. Oh, the memories and delicious smells from her kitchen. And now I’m 76 putting together family recipes for my grandkids and great-grandkids to keep traditions going forward. Thanks, Tammy.
I used to make large batches of peanut brittle to give away during the holidays at work. It’s so much quicker and easier to use a candy thermometer that shows the brittle stage. No guessing. I put my vanilla in before the baking soda. As soon as I added the soda, it volumes up, I immediately pour over sugar in large cookie trays, spread and let cool. Enjoy. PS, I also sprinkle sea salt on it for the salty sweet combination.
What temperature does it come to when ready??
I do the same as you with the vanilla and baking soda. I turn my burner off but leave the pot on the burner and when you stir in that baking soda it really puffs up. I like it like that because it’s so full of air and isn’t as hard on your teeth. I will not eat brittle from a store. They just don’t know what good is. That Tammy is a fantastic cook. I’ve got to try her recipe. ❤
Hi Tammy! You’re looking beautiful in that new kitchen of yours! 😊 I love peanut brittle, it’s my weakness in life! And you’re right, it’s ruined when packaged with cookies. I wrote down your recipe to do a test run (or 2-3) so I perfect it for Christmas gift giving. Question: How much baking soda and vanilla do I add? Our neighbors and family will love this gift! I’ve been “brewing” bourbon vanilla for a couple of years now, should be perfect in this! Blessings to you.
The recipe is linked in the description
I’ve tried, but for some reason I cannot access the recipe. Also, I can’t find it in volume 3. It looks like you added 1 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp vanilla. Do you think that is correct?

Hi hon. Were you able to access the recipe? In case you weren’t able to, I copied and pasted it for you. Good luck if you make it!

Good Morning Amiga!
I love watching your videos ❤
You inspire Me to want to make videos also. Trouble is I don't know how to make the videos. How did You learn and can You help Me, guide Me in the direction of video making? I currently have a channel Mary K Loves and it's only about My lil puppies ❤🐾🐾
I only have a couple videos on there but they are not edited since I don't know how. Anyways thanks again for all You do to help in making such great recipes!!
Mary K. Loves 💙
ps
I don't know how to add my channel or links. Not yet 😉👍🏾💚
I forgot to tell You, I made Your brittle recipe from a few year's back 2 year's now for My kid's and grandbabies and they absolutely loved it!! ❤🥰🎉
Using cashews instead of peanuts are really good too
Also, I have no parents or grandparents, and I cannot tell you enough just how much I enjoy watching you and Chris in the kitchen. I'm a better cook because of you, and I can't wait until I can get all of your cookbooks 😊❤🍁
I love peanut brittle! My husband could live on it. 😄 This is such a good video, Ms. Tammy. You did good with the camera and mic all by yourself. I'm going to make a batch of this tomorrow. You're the best on YT! God bless y'all.
When I was younger , my dad worked for McCormick as island wide sales representative and supply manager. We always had that brand of peanut brittle in the house all the time and it was fantastic . Homemade brittle, I can’t imagine how great it would taste, thank you !!
I never learned how to create deserts, candy, or other sweet treats as my mother was a diabetic. I've learned so much from this channel. I hope to make memories with friends.
I love Peanut Brittle!! I can’t quit eating a lot when I have it. Looks so delicious!! ❤
My daddy was from Alabama and called it parched. I would go to Dollar Farm Products and get the little red peanuts. 5 pounds would last him for quite a while. Spanish we called them. I believe they are grown now as dry land peanuts in my area. The irrigated peanuts are grown for oil and processed peanut products. My Southwest Georgia/ South Alabama is peanut country.
Everything looks beautiful in the kitchen. And your doing wonderful w/o Chris. The candy looks so yummy. Gods Blessings for Chris’s father to continue to recover. ❤🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for this recipe and showing how to make it. Your camera and microphone were just fine. I love peanut brittle and yeah, can not stop eating it if I have it in the house. Also, thanks for telling us where to buy raw peanuts. You are a Blessing and a Joy Tammy. ❤️
Hey Tammy!
My Mama use to make me peanut brittle for every bday and Christmas. How I miss hers so much. This looks yummy . Maybe my heart can hold up for me to try and make yours...I am sure it'll be with tears and cherished memories of hers.
Praying for Chris' parents! 🙏
You look beautiful btw! Love ya! 💛💛
I make her peanut brittle all the time to give to the neighborhood kids. They love it! I love it! The best!
You did a great job!!!! Peanut Brittle has always been hard for me, but you made it look sooooo simple. THANK YOU!!!
Your doing great girl
I’m from SC and we parched our peanuts!
I agree - peanut brittle should be brown like caramel. Great recipe - I think I'll add it to my goodie gift box. Thanks Tammy!
Looks really good! My grandmother used to make that every year around Christmas. I think she poured it out on a marble slab.
I have made peanut brittle for many years now. I started out when I was a young teen with my Mother. We used a pressure pot without the top. We also use SoS to make the pot “no stick”. We always poured it out on well buttered cookie sheets we started pulling the candy out with forks first until we could handle it...then buttered our hands and pulled it out thin. Years latter I was helping our church youth make peanut brittle for fund raising . Such fun! Now I am a Grandma and I am passing the recipes and making fun memories with my Grandchildren!
Wondering if you’ve ever made peanut patties? I love those!
Thank you for this recipe! State Fair is coming up, so we will get some of those super fresh peanuts to make this up with!
Try adding pecan halves/pieces and some cinnamon. After spread out, sprinkle with sea salt.
Used to make this the very same way with my Grandma every Christmas till she was 94. We would visit and have a lot of fun & laughs on bake day. I still have her apron. She taught me the secret ingredient…Love! Ahh the memories. I miss my Nanna a lot. 😢
I love peanut brittle and brown too. It’s so much buttery tasting ❤😋
We make cashew and pecan brittle and it's better than the peanut by far! It's a Christmas tradition! We also pull it really thin
Whole cashews or halves & pieces or both?
Yummy.yummy.good.cook❤God.bless.you.all😊
Honey you’re doing a great job! You made me want to make this but with almonds and walnuts. I have a hard time digesting peanuts but am ok with peanut butter. God bless. Be safe with the hot sugar it can be dangerous. Where’s your apron? the heat would kill your beautiful dress. God bless. ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🖖🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
You’re competent without Chris! And I, too, love the brown peanut butter. Thank you for reminding me of a wonderful treat!
When I had more teeth, I used to make an almond brittle with butter and honey. I used a deeper pot with a candy thermometer. I like your technique of putting the nuts in early instead of toasting separately. That baking soda technique is going in. Thanks Tammy.
May, the white part of the egg is called albumin. Also, if you do not wash your eggs, you can leave them at room temperature for several weeks. Wipe them off with a damp cloth.
Thanks Tammy for mentioning about the parching not necessary before hand with this method. I was wondering about that because when you did the microwave version you parched the peanuts first. I've been making this using a thermometer and waiting till it reaches 300 degrees and it takes forever, at least 10 minutes of stirring. Good grief. So I'm going to do like this and cook at a higher temperature so things move along quicker. There is one thing I've been doing different. Instead of aluminum foil I use the individual sheets of parchment that come in a flat box. Surprisingly the peanut brittle does only lightly adhere to it when poured into the pan and it's easy to remove all in one sheet. Aluminum foil is so expensive No butter is used to grease the pan, it isn't needed. I enjoy your and Chris's videos so much. You're such nice folks.
I like mine the color of a penny..almost scorched...almost.
I love me some peanut butter brittle.Thank you for sharing your recipe with us today 😊 😋
You're the best cook here on TH-cam!! I've made so many recipes of yours and this brittle is next on my list but the only change I'll make is using pecans instead of peanuts. Thanks for sharing and your kitchen is looking superb!!
I missed your live. I got to watch you this morning. I’m going to try your brittle. It looks delicious and is a beautiful color. I need to get some of those oven mitts you have… I’ll check your amazon page to see if they’re there. Love you sweetest lady in the world. ❤❤
You're so fun to listen to. 🙂 Just made my first batch of peanut brittle ever, and it was just as easy as you said it would be.
Looks good Tammy. I'll have to make it for the holidays.
God Bless you and Chris. I hope Chris' dad recovers quickly from surgery.
That looks delicious! I agree about mixing cookies all together. They all taste the same. I always bag them separately when I give them away. I love peanut brittle. It’s my favorite! Yours looks yummy!
It looked delicious, and one of my favorite. I will use your recipe. Hope Chris’s dad has a good recovery from his heart surgery.
You're adorable. ☺️ Thanks for explaining the bubbles in the brittle due to the soda.
Every time someone says nothing better than -fill in the blank- I always feel sorry for them because they must never have had Bananas Foster! 😂
Mmmmm!!! YUMMY!! Thanks for sharing Tammy!! I❤️ peanut brittle!!😋
Hi Tammy, Prayers goes out to Chris's Father for a great recovery from his Heart Surgery. Love your new home Tammy and a Beautiful Kitchen. God Bless.
I love peanut brittle but it cracks my teeth. My dentist made extra money from me eating it!
Your peanut brittle looks delicious I hadn't made any homemade peanut brittle before can't wait to try this
I’ve never made peanut brittle but I’m going to give it a try!
Blessings blessings always. Great job
Can you throw that on popcorn? I just bought a bunch of raw in the shell peanuts by accident. Reminded me of making this peanut brittle as a pre-teenager in Junior high. We used raw peanuts, too: that's the best way. The peanuts get roasted so evenly and perfectly in hot sugar and butter. Forget the microwave. Love your deep iron pan.
I wouldn't hurt to try!
Thanks Tammy. Your kitchen is going to be gorgeous! Love you too!❤
Loved this Tammy! Totally drooling! It looks so good! Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly!
This is my second time making this. It's so buttery and delicious.
Wonderful!
Can’t wait to try this version. I make my version of microwave peanut brittle but my recipe does not call for that much butter. My motto, more butter more better. Love making candy around the holidays.😊
it looks so tasty. I will definitely try this
This is a very nice Christmas gift and try pecans instead of peanuts that's good too😊happy Thanksgiving to tammy and Chris and followers and a blessed one
We could hear you just fine. You are doing great! Love watching you. I’m having depression, and you are so uplifting.
Lord how I could eat that I can smell it from here. But I need new dentures or implants one. My mother used to make this every fall for Halloween and popcorn balls before some people started doing bad things to candy for the trick or treaters and even then your not absolutely sure but it smelled so good during the fall and winter
Love it❤❤❤ Thank you
Praying for Chris’ dad. I’ve had open heart surgery last December and it’s a journey to recovery.
I have my own recipe from my step mom. I buy raw peanuts from sprouts.
TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT MIXING COOKIES ON A TRAY! I wrap each individual cookie type and place in a box or tray.
Your Candy looks perfect! And yummy!!❤️
And you did great today!
That looks so good, I love pnut brittle, i have eaten pecan brittle too ❤ from Arkansas
I’m gonna have to try this…Leslie made the microwave version today I think this way is easier
The backwards camera had me all out of sorts ! lol
#1 I am jealous of your new stove!! My house is open with a 3 story living room and the noise carries all over. This video is good and you’ll find your sound work arounds. Ima try this brittle ❤❤
I made your peanut brittle and gave it to some many different people and everyone agreed that it was superb and delicious. Buttery and not too hard either. Thanks thanks thanks! I thought it was better than Sees candy peanut brittle.
Wonderful!
My husband can’t stay out of it either. He loves peanut brittle!
Thanks for sharing Tammy love you , your kitchen is just beautiful. I’m going make some peanut brittle.
Love what you've done to your kitchen. And you look great Tammy.
I love your new kitchen. 6 burners!!! Oh my, it looks like you knocked out a wall or two. It is so beautiful. Good luck to you and Chris.
Looks delicious, haven't made this for years, will have to try your version.
Easy peasy. You make things looks so easy.
My mouth is watering 😋You're so right....no comparison of homemade & store bought.
You are doing an excellent job! I can hear you perfectly fine. I like peanut brittle just like you do❤
Hello Tammy :) may i ask, after you put the peanut brittle in the foil pan, do you place it in the fridge or freezer to harden? And if so about how long.. please let me know. Thank you soo much. i love how you cook. :)
No need
How MUCH baking soda?!…?
The recipe is linked in the description
I made peanut brittle a few times years ago, then I tried it with Georgia pecans, and it was delicious. What size cast iron pan do you have? I don’t have my large pan anymore.
10 inch
@@CollardValleyCooks Thank you!
I’m surprised you can stir that syrup/sugar mixture with the spatula. I did that once & the spatula melted in the hot mixture, had to toss the whole thing, yikes 😳 I can’t eat peanuts or seeds anymore 🥺
You did just fine all by yourself. Your peanut brittle looks delicious!
Have you ever made divinity candy?
Yes it is on collardvalleycooks.com
Hello Tammy love your recipes! I like adding about tablespoon peanut butter in my peanut brittle am from Alabama thank you for all your cooking videos
Thank you Tammy. The Brittle looks delicious. I really need to make some for the holidays. The Kitchen is looking so pretty.❤️✝️🙏
Prayers for Chris dad! You did just fine with the speaker! Can you make it with pecans rather than peanuts?
Yes
Looks delicious 😊
How to store the brittle, please ? Does this stick together wen stored?
Airtight container. If you do not make it right it will stick.
Looks great. How much baking soda and vanilla?

Did those peanuts have skins on them? Not sure what parching the peanuts meant?
No skins
Hi Tammy first I want to say I love u and ur hubby. I enjoy cooking again. My question is can u do the water test when u fix it in the microwave?
May seem stupid but I don’t know 🤷♀️
Yes
I don't know what "parching" the peanuts before cooking in microwave means??
Roast them
Do you keep the skins on the peanut when you are making the brittle?
I don't buy peanuts with skins
I like the peanuts roasted and toasted, I wont buy it at the store❤. Thank you I’m a new listener ❤
Welcome!
Are you cooking it on Medium, Low, Med-High????
