I am going to try this with a twist using caramel instead of karo syrup an using brown sugar instead of white also using walnuts.

This is the same recipe that my dad used. I lost my copy from him and I am so glad I found this one. Thank You so very much. This recipe is awesome and makes the very best peanut brittle, a variation is adding raw almonds also very good try if you love almonds.

I used unsalted peanuts and butter, then sprinkled Kosher salt after spreading onto the sheet. Adds good amount of flavor and eye appeal.

This the best ever..

Just like mom use to make! Thank you for sharing...very easy!

can you replace wine for the water?? I have been looking for a recipe that uses wine.. I had Chardonnay Peanut Brittle before and it was great... also is the butter to be room temp??

Hi Ann,

I can't say that I've ever tried it using Chardonnay. Let us know how it comes out if you do! You can take the butter out of the fridge when you begin - if it's not at room temperature when you swirl it in, it will melt very quickly anyhow, since the sugar mixture is quite hot.
