    This is probably the closest recipe I've been able to find that duplicates a wonderful P-brittle that a next door mom used to make many decades ago. I even remember helping her make it a few times as a kid.

    No, I haven't tried this just yet, but I would definitely not use wax paper as called for. Also, mix in the butter at the last, but not the baking soda. Once the butter is melted and thoroughly mixed in, add the baking soda and the candy will start to foam and rise in the pan. Be sure to pour this mixture out on the pan as it is rising. Quickly flatten or spread out the peanuts, but don't interrupt the rising process...just let it cool. The result will be a more "airy" and less dense brittle than just a flat hardened candy. Not sure I would add the cayenne as seen on Alton's video.

    at trying candy and it turned out ok. I used honey instead of the liquid sugar and I'm sure it didn't make a difference. Recipe makes a ton !!

    OK this is decent brittle and fairly easy to make if you have a candy thermometer. But I was naive enough to use waxed paper as suggested.

    IT STUCK! a greased cookie sheet would probably been better.

    JUST DO NOT USE WAXED PAPER
