This is an excellent recipe and tastes great! I had to throw most of it away because you really need 3 cookie sheets ready to pour it out onto. I do not know what size of cookie sheet Trisha has , but mine our regular size and after I noticed that it was too thick on one I scrambled to get another ready. The first cookie sheet brittle was way too thick to even enjoy eating, so into the garbage can it went. I really think that people need to be told that perhaps 3 cookie sheets should be the norm for this recipe.

First time ever making peanut brittle. This recipe is delicious. It looked easy after watching the show. The only thing I caution anyone who makes it: After you melt the butter in the recipe in the final step when she says QUICKLY move to pans.....she truly means Super Quickly move to pans. It is extremely hot and does start to set quickly. Great receipe and turns out beautiful for platters and gifts.

I just watched Trisha's show on the Food Network on Saturday and this recipe looked super easy to make. I stirred till I thought my arm was going to fall off - took a long time to readh 300 degrees. She added 1 and a half sticks of butter on the show but the recipe only calls for 1 stick (she even said 1 and a half sticks of butter on TV. Hers was very thin, mine super thick. It tastes delicious though, except mine is a little hard to chew. I'm going to try it again. Love the show on the Food Network!! She is so much fun to watch:

Easy. Delicious. Buttery. I will make this over and over. Gave some to a friend and her boy ate 1/2 pound of it in one sitting! Definitely use raw peanuts because they cook perfectly in the sugar mix. I split my peanuts into halves. Thanks to Trisha's daddy for teaching her this recipe so she could make the world a sweeter place! :-

Made this brittle today and am planning to give it as part of a gift, it was easy and really good. Instead of peanuts I used raw cashews, just did a rough chop so they were about the size of a peanut or maybe just a little bigger. Will make this again for sure. If you don't have Trisha's cookbook suggest you get it, everything I have made out of it is a winner. There is an oatmeal cookie recipe in it that is wonderful, it has pecans and coconut. Sometimes if I don't have pecans I will use dark chocolate chips. Thanks Trisha for sharing yours and your families recipes.

This is the first time I've made peanut brittle in years. Trish's recipe was easy to understand and turned out great. I always get impatient when I don't know how long something will take. I found that getting the mixture to 240 degrees after it started to boil took about 10 minutes; and to get the mixture up to 300 degrees after adding the peanuts took an additional 15 minutes. I would make this recipe again.

Made this today! It turned out wonderfully. just make sure you use a thermometer and get the temperature of the candy up to 300° After you put the peanuts in The temperature drops which would be expected. Let It cook until it's 300 then you'll have nice and hard Candy
