Peanut Brittle

This is a fool proof Peanut Brittle recipe. Crunchy and totally yummy!

For a fun presentation idea, I just wedged it in some popcorn and peanut m and m's.

Whenever I make this it makes me nostalgic, because I had so much of it growing up. Many many sweet sticky memories with this one!
