This recipe has been in my family for generations. I love the delicate thin pieces and the wonderful carmel taste of the brittle. Warning: This mixture bubbles up and can foam over. Use a big pot. I say this because we spent an evening in the emergency room with my Mother. The mixture foamed over the top of the pan and onto her hands. Have cold water running in case of an accident.

How To Make grannie hendrix peanut brittle

Stir mixture down with a long handled spoon and turn out in several small batches onto well greased cookie sheets. A second person holding the pan to pour the mixture is a great help.
