Brittle

Have you ever made peanut brittle?  It's pretty easy and sooo yummy.

It does have a few calories.

But it's totally worth it.

Bag it up in a nice little cellophane bag, tie a cute ribbon around it, and you've got a great gift

for a neighbor or friend.

Nut Brittle

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 tbsp light corn syrup

2 cups peanuts (or any nuts will do)

Melt butter in a large, heavy pan over high heat.  Add the rest of the

ingredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly

until the temperature reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Quickly pour candy on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (with sides).

Let cool then break apart.
