    This was my first try at making candy. I followed the recipe and show advise exactly, except that I did add a candy thermometer as I wasn't quite sure what light amber was. It turned out perfectly first time. I liked the addition of the hot cayenne pepper, but thought there was a bit too much. My wife doesn't care for it at all. I made two more batches one with have the pepper and loved it. One without the pepper for the wife. Both are great, no crystallization no problems. Does take a while to hit temperature but be patient it gets there.

    I followed this recipe exactly as written and I ended up with peanut soup. It did not thicken. And thought I could trust a fellow BMW motorcycle rider.

    This recipe is very primative.. I only used it because my usual one requires a thermometer which I don't have anymore. I boiled it for about an hour where it never reached hard cracking stage and eventually turned right back into sugar. I like to use the better homes and gardens recipe for peanut brittle which has butter, corn syrup and baking soda, bu tthen I add Alton's Cayene pepper. It always turns out great that way.

    I should have checked the reviews before I tried this recipe. All I saw was Alton Brown, and I was cooking. Sadly, I didn't notice that all other peanut brittle recipes include corn syrup. This one makes no mention of corn syrup. My peanut brittle turned out to be stuck together sugar with peanuts. It isn't a hard candy, instead it you can see every sugar crystal, and feel it as it grinds like sand in your mouth. If you do go for this recipe, add a cup of corn syrup!!!! Sorry Alton, you're still my favorite

    i am beyond disappointed with this recipe. this is the second good eats recipe i have tried that has been a disaster. the only good thing about this recipe is the use of the cayanne pepper (which i added to another brittle recipe that actually worked. my husband is a professionally trained chef, and he couldn't get it to work either. AB, thankfully your show is entertaining...

    This really turned out horribly. I followed the instructions to a T and ended up with a lump of sugary peanuts. What a disappointment.
