does this make very thin candy? I am looking for one that is very thin ....

Hi Judy,

If you pour the brittle out onto a large surface where it will be able to spread, then the brittle will be thinner. Use a well oiled large cookie sheet and spread it quickly after pouring with a metal spatula.

Happy Holidays!

I am not sure hoe to chop the nuts to make them corsely chopped. Can you specify?

Hi Jessica,

You can put them into a plastic bag and smash them into large pieces with a rolling pin or heavy pan, or just chop them with a cleaver or knife. A food processor will probably overdo it unless you have a small one.

I use whole Planters Spanish Peanuts - skin and all. Lives up to the name "Peanut Brittle," and tastes delish!!!

I love me some peanut brittle and this is by far the easiest recipe i have seen

Can I use light brown sugar instead of white sugar?

Better than recipe with corn syrup, faster and easier. No more corn syrup for me. Next time may add a touch of brown sugar for added flavor. Oh, I used cashews instead of peanuts.

I love this recipe and have used it for years. A year ago I had a stroke and could not remember the simplest of things including this recipe. I finally found it and can not be happier!
