Do you like peanut brittle?

Sep 16, 2012 1:59 AM

Don't know why but I just got a craving for peanut brittle. So, I guess that means I'll have to make a batch.

Here is the simple recipe I like.

(Not My) Mom's Best Peanut Brittle

"This is a wonderful peanut brittle that is easy to make and wows everyone! Have all the ingredients for this recipe measured out and ready. This recipe requires that you react quickly. You do not have time to measure ingredients in between steps."

Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup peanuts (I use a whole bag of raw peanuts)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions: Look below

No, not at all. Too much fat for the taste. Might as well drop it directly into my pants to view the future.

Mmmmmmm! Peanut brittle! Thanks for the recipe! Did you know that someone started a Deals.Woot recipe exchange page a while back? I stumbled across it by accident and I don't think it's been updated for a while, but why don't you add this one over there and let's see if we can get more people to contribute. Try http://dealswootrecipes.blogspot.com/ and see if it will let you add it,

Peanut brittle was my dad's favorite treat. Now I need to go try the recipe!

Come on W00T! my peanut brittle is crunchy and delicious. It doesn't require the Jaws of Life to eat it.

I love the taste of peanut brittle, but it's too hard on my tooth. :(

Directions:
1. Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.

2. In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking.
Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads.

3. Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter and baking soda; pour at once onto cookie sheet. Let cool. Snap candy into pieces.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
