Can you substitute the condensed milk with cream of coconut?

[@Katherine-zk5zj]

Do you have to refrigerate the fudge

[@supereasyrecipe]

@@Katherine-zk5zj yes.

[@deborahparker3907]

May I share a tip I learned from another KZbin cook? If you tightly wad up your parchment paper then uncrumple it and mostly smooth it flat again not only will it stay put on a flat cookie sheet but it can be shaped to fit different shaped pans too. Especially when you snip the corners as you did. Works for me.

[@kimwilliford6303]

Cool

[@treeissaved2359]

My grandmother used to make peanut brittle and the minute she just got the baking soda stirred in, she would quickly dump it onto a buttered sheet pan so that the air bubbles are still in the candy. This would cause the brittle to be very light and airy. Making a delicate brittle. The more that you stir the less air bubbles you'll have. Making the brittle harder

[@Lolosmommie]

Absolutely! Same !

[@janessary8832]

Same here and I put vanilla in it as well.

[@lisahinton9682]

@treeissaved2359 And that, right there, is the wonderful thing about making brittle. Some families, like yours, prefer the lighter air-filled brittle, and some, like ours, prefer the more dense structure. Either way, I am not turning down a piece of homemade brittle, as both are delicious!

For my turtle candy I use one small pretzel, put one rollo candy on top ,warm in the oven to soften,then place one pecan on top and gently press. Easy to make lots ❤

[@westernskies2199]

After pressing the pecan on top of each warmed Rolo, I lightly sprinkle edible candy decorations from the bottle - sold anywhere there are cake & frosting mixes sold in most stores. I use tiniest nonpareils or crystalized sugar or shapes/designs/colors depending on the holiday! Cute for Fall is to use orange sugar crystals and tiny leaf or squirrel shaped wafer decorations on top of lightly drizzled melted white chocolate over each pecan...can get so creative with these simple chocolate carmel pretzel favorites!! You can put two of each in a holiday mini cupcake paper or foil cup for easier serving...yummy treats!

The syrup will cease because the nuts are cold. Adding colds nuts rappidly drops the temperature of the syrup. If the nuts are cold, colder than the syrup. The syrup will cease. If you heat your nuts some before adding to the pot the surup wont cool down as much. It will take less time to get the syrup back up to temp. I also use 2 Tablespoons of baking soda. The soda makes the mixture Fulff up and the cany is lightert and easier on your teeth. While still being crisp and cruntchey. I say keep those bubbles dont smash them out.

[@debimorsette1685]

Back in the 70’s, I made a lot of peanut brittle using raw peanuts and a candy thermometer. It seemed to take forever but was delicious. Fast forward to 2015, my kids admitted they didn’t like peanut brittle. So I started making it in the microwave with roasted peanuts. A lot less work and tastes just as good.

When I make peanut brittle, I always add vanilla to it before I lay it out like half a teaspoon that I learned to make it everything else about the same😊❤

[@karenhomrich8924]

If you cooked the first ingredients until when you stir it, lift the spoon dripping in the pot, it will stream a string about 18 inches long then add the raw peanuts and cook until golden brown. Add baking soda butter and vanilla. Stir and spread on a buttered cookie sheet.

You have the loveliest skin - smooth, clear and fair, flawless! I have to say, I've never seen peanut brittle with so many peanuts. What we always had was about 50% ratio (or less) of peanuts to candy. Mom always said to only stir one way because if you went both ways, you could 'unstir' the recipe. 😃 I love how we all learned to do things differently but that the end result was always delicious. Thank you for this video!

The reason your chocolate is seizing is because you're using water-based food coloring. Water seizes chocolate as you you well know. When working with chocolate, you must use an oil-based food coloring. Hope this helps!❤

I like to make 'instant' peanut brittle. Melt a package of Turbinado sugar in the raw in a frying pan, then add peanuts, or raw walnuts, stir and dump out on wax paper cool and break to pieces. You can do this in the microwave too, but it cools so quickly that its difficult to break it into smaller pieces. I gave out one of my Grandmothers recipes in xmas cards this year. It was fun, all the memories, she also taught me how to make real fudge. She always had a batch waiting for me when i visited. Oh, she taught me how to make flakey pie crust too. 😍

[@deborahparker3907]

I make an absolutely delicious, crunchy and light peanut brittle in 14 minutes in the microwave.¹ No candy thermometer needed. Looks and sounds (crunch factor) just like yours. It is so easy and fast that in about the same amount of time (assuming you have 2 8 cup Pyrex measuring cups and 2 silpats) 3 batches could be made and you could keep one complete batch for yourselves and not short the batch you were sending to your mother. LOL. It's also a very versatile recipe. You can vary the nuts and/or the extracts, use mixed nuts or even add additional ingredients (if reducing the amount of nut ingredients proportionally) by stirring in with or just after the baking soda and working quickly. Some nuts do cook or brown more quickly than others and may need to be added at different times. Because the microwave makes the brittles so much faster I haven't found this to really be a problem but there are so many nuts available it might depend on those you use. Softer nuts like walnuts, pecans, those round Hawaiian nuts and seeds like sunflower would definitely need less cook time in the syrup. Have fun with it. I even added ¼-⅜" wide coconut strips seconds before the baking soda. It was a great addition. While the syrup is still very hot, remember that when using the microwave method you are not adding external heat once your Pyrex is withdrawn from the oven. My recipe calls for the same ingredients minus the water. I suppose the water is to prevent the sugars from burning. With all of that stovetop boiling to reach temperature the water must provide the required extra moisture that allows the cooking process to reach the needed temperature. Microwave peanut brittle recipes can be found online. Since you use your microwave in several of your other candy recipes you might like to try it for your peanut brittle at least once. ¹(using a 1000-1200 watt oven. If 1200 watt decrease cooking time by 1 minute after adding nuts).
