If you pre-heat your cookie sheet in the oven to about 200 degrees prior to pouring the candy onto it it spreads easier. After your pour the candy mix onto the cookie sheet just shake it and it will spread.

[@catpride1323]

Awesome tip !! Thanks 😊

[@jdsaal1992]

New family favorite. My mother rarely had luck making peanut brittle so I never tried myself. Found this video and tried it this year for the holidays. What a hit with family & friends. So easy to make - about 20 minutes from start to pan for cooling. Only trouble is keeping from eating it all myself. Thank you for the great videos.

You are the Bob Ross of cooking. I loved how peaceful this video was.

My first time making candy and I approached with a lot of apprehension; but thanks to your instructions I was prepared. And it came out great. Thanks for sharing your recipes and all the detailed instructions.

[@freddesjardins7399]

Best presentation I’ve seen on making peanut brittle like the tips on the 1) heavy bottom pan 2)adding the raw peanuts initially 3) using a cover. Also the proper utensil (spoon) great one!

[@craftystampco]

Thank you so much! I just found your channel. I love how you say "why" you add or do certain things. Also that you go slow enough us new people can understand and the extra tips!!!

[@alicekitchen298]

My daughter and I made this for the first time. It tastes so much better than the store bought one. We love brittle and tomorrow we are going to make more for gifts. Thanks for the recipe. We added extra peanuts.

[@mirian593]

Thank you for sharing this precious recipe. I read some comment that if you heat the tray 200 Celsius before spread the brittle it will lay evenly flat nicely. Xx

I made this receipe with my daughter. I doubled the amount but it was soooo delicious. Thanks, perfect peanut brittle with a great flavor and I have made a lot of peanut brittle over the years.

[@mary-jocallfas2515]

Hi joy I love watching you cook as it reminds me of me.I also make a great peanut brittle and about 10yrs ago I did a taste test in regards of what to put on the cookie sheets. l,I made one batch of peanut brittle I poured half the batch on the cookiesheet sprayed with the cooking spray and the other half on the buttered cookies sheet I didn't tell anybody which was which . I put piece of tape on the sprayed so I could remember. not all of the brittle was eaten there was more of the brittle leftover on the cookie sheet that was sprayed. This test was done with adults first and some of the kids tasted it . So now I use only butter on the cookie sheet.

[@613joshua]

Omg we love you!!!!!! We are using so many of your recipes! Everything is amazing!! 5 star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@catpride1323]

I've made peanut before, many times - and it can be a hit and a miss. Yours looks better than any recipe I've ever seen or tried. I will be trying this recipe next time I go to make it. I never heard of using raw peanuts before, and now I so wanna do that... Thanks for sharing 😊

[@madalene7724]

Thank you for your recipe. I just made this and it turned out very well. The only thing I would alter is putting the raw peanuts in half way through the cooking process, as the peanuts were almost burnt, by the time I could get the sugars up to the right temperature. I kept moving the peanuts as you stated, but it still over cooked. Thanks, again. 🙏🏻😊

[@grantw.whitwam9948]

Glad you made this comment, I thought the nuts would get way too dark. I've always added them right near the end.

Thank you for the video, it's helps so much to see it done live first you are left with no mistakes. I live in Florida so I must watch the dew point and humidity make sure it is low, then the peanut brittle will turn out.

[@DanielSchmidt94521]

I love your videos. They're nice and clear, and your explanations are very clear, and the editing is fantastic. Some cooking videos I see the video quality is horrible. But I understand it's based on people's incomes. Also your voice is very clear. I will be making this for myself for the first time in a week. I'm making candied nuts now.

[@50hellkat2]

I butter two long strips of parchment paper and lie them butter side up. I pour the peanut brittle along the one strip and then I put the other strip butter side down on top and get my rolling pin and roll the peanut butter which allows for nice thin brittle. Try it....forget about the two forks.

Okay...I just came out of the kitchen after trying this recipe. It was spot on. The only differences were; I used almond nuts and I added two bay leaves and half a cinnamon stick. Thank you.

[@catpride1323]

Wait... You add 2 bay leaves and a cinnamon stick?? Do you pull them out or do they get candied too? I don't even know how to visualize those flavors.. How on earth did you come up with that? What made you want to add them, I am so confused but intrigued... Of course you could substitute any nut you like, I am sure almond or hazelnut would be great. Pecan is kinda famous... so much so it's get its own fancy name ... Pralines !! 😅

[@dgibraltar]

@@catpride1323 I left them in. If the taste isn't to strong for your taste/liking, you may enjoy them.

Thank you Joy of Baking. For your recipe. For peanut brittle candy. I lost my recipe years ago. Thanks to you I now have a new recipe. I'd say cross my eyes but can't do that. So I will cross my fingers. And hope that. It comes out great for me. I love peanut brittle. Brought back memories. When my Mama used to make it. Happy Holidays to you and your Family.

I just made this again, 3 years later, since the weather has turned chilly. I doubled the recipe which is a challenge, but it turned out great. It just seems like it takes a long time to reach the hard crack stage. I'm wondering if I have the heat high enough for it took about 12 minutes boiling. Thanks for this recipe.

[@slomo1716]

Thanks Stephanie!!! The best and clearly stated Peanut Brittle recipe! Thank YOU!!!

[@wallacegrover3508]

Your videos are amazing, they always make me want to go and cook whatever you're making! I don't think I've seen anybody else on youtube who has quite the same straightforward and personal style; it's kind of dying out with the fadeaway of KERA cooking shows. The audio when you speak can be a little quiet on occasion though, that's my only qualm. Best wishes!

[@grantw.whitwam9948]

I've never seen adding the peanuts at the beginning, looks good.

[@susiem5084]

She added them at the beginnning because they are raw peanuts...that's my understanding.

[@kimf.5409]

Yes, her peanuts were raw peanuts. If you buy roasted peanuts, you'll add them along with the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.

[@janetgriffin2791]

Peanut brittle love it .I have not had this for years .I did manage to buy some last year .but it was very thick .yours looks great .and so easy to make .I am going to make this as soon as I get chance .great video .I think a lot of people like me didn't know how to make this .thanks for showing this can't wait to try this

[@vinceamato1201]

Stephanie - Hard crack stage is 295 - 309 degrees. Going to 296 deg is 1 degree inside of that range. If you are off just a hair, you will get inconsistent results. I add butter and roasted nuts at 275 degrees and cook to 305 degrees exactly. A minimum of 300 degrees for consistent results.

[@mikeca.7662]

Oooo try this using almonds,,,,,Amazing

[@-.-4]

I use raw Spanish peanuts with the skins on. Don’t blanch. The skins make it darker and for me taster. I bring it to hard crack stage and don’t pull just spread.

[@makkypak415]

Peanut brittle is pretty tasty and I usually only get it at a candy store( candy stores are rare here) and I could attempt this :D

[@lukesmith2725]

I wouldn’t suggest letting the brittle sit for 10-15 minutes in the pan. It will literally fuse to the pan and you will not get it off. Liberally butter the pan. LIBERALLY BUTTER THE PAN. After 3-5 minutes it will still be very hot but solid enough to peel off the pan. The brittle will be like taffy but that’s OK. It will come off much much easier. Set it on your kitchen counter top for another five minutes to cool. Break it into pieces. The best way to clean up: soak everything in hot water for at least an hour. The sugar will disintegrate and clean up is super easy. This is basically the same recipe I use but I use Spanish peanuts with the skins on and add them at the hard ball stage then cook to hard crack. It truly is delicious and very addictive.

[@evey-chan1054]

Hi Stephanie, I really need some help. I want to make something for Thanksgiving and I'm thinking of making Caramel Fudge - although I found that one of the ingredients for that had Golden Syrup. I looked up and found a simple looking recipe for it, but I'm extremely confused with the measurements. I live in Florida and I'm only used to Tablespoons, Teaspoons and Cups. In these, could you tell me the measurements for: 100g sugar 1/2 kg sugar 300g boiling water (This is for the Golden Syrup) and: 125 Grams (4.4 Ounces) of butter 395 Grams (14 Ounces) of sweetened condensed milk 100 Grams (3.5 Ounces) of white chocolate (This is the recipe I found for the Caramel Fudge) I'm not very good with ounces either :( A response as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time!

Yummy! A must try

[@arjungamesmurthy9355]

This is awesome! However, I use a variation here in India that's extremely easy to make as well...1. Dry roast 1 cup of peanuts. 2. Add 3/4th cup of jaggery ( not sugar or corn syrup) 3. Keep on medium heat till jaggery has melted and add the peanuts. 4. Add a spoonful of clarified butter ( not butter) and keep mixing till it forms a soft ball. 5. Pour out the Mix onto a greased plate and flatten with a spatula or knife and cut into squares. Smells and tastes amazing: ))

After you butter baking pan place in warm oven and take it out when peanut brittle is ready it will spread very easy and will not stick, use a heavy duty baking pan, cheap ones can cause things to stick.
