Peanut Brittle

Peanut Brittle

Everyday

Peanut brittle is a hard candy confection made by cooking sugar and corn syrup to the hard-crack stage before incorporating roasted peanuts. This traditional sweet features a distinctive golden-amber color and creates a characteristic shattering texture when broken. While high in sugar content, it provides some protein and healthy fats from the peanuts, though it should be considered a dessert item and consumed in moderation.
