How do you make peanut brittle candy?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

You can google a lot of recipes, or Joy of Cooking cookbook is always good. It's very easy, it's just cooking sugar till it carmelizes. You have to be very careful, sugar burns VERY easily and is a smelly, awful mess if it does. Best done with a double boiler.
