Peanut Brittle Recipe

Peanut Brittle is a hard but breakable confection made from mainly sugar and peanuts. This is considered as good treat for the Christmas Season. If you are still thinking of a good gift for your friends and relatives, this is surely a good idea.

Peanut Brittle makes me think about a city in the Philippines called Baguio. In that city lies the Good Shepherd convent; the nuns run a store that sells delicious homemade treats. Peanut brittle is one of the best delights that they offer.

Aside from peanuts, using pecans and almonds also produce good results.
