MITCH’S PEANUT BRITTLE
September 21, 2011
I don’t know about you, but I love peanut
brittle. But I never attempted to make it myself.
I was talking with my sister today and she was
telling me that her boyfriend Mitch was making
homemade peanut brittle. I am not sure
where this recipe came from but she
says it is awesome and very easy. You can
also add a little jalapeno pepper to make the
brittle spicy. I have tried spicy chocolate
but never spicy peanut brittle so this
intrigued me. I am going to share this recipe
with you and if you make it before I get the chance
let me know how you liked it. This brittle would make
a perfect gift for the upcoming holiday season or a gift
for a teacher.
