Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Trying to pace your eating at a party? Preview your choices and be selective instead of taking some of everything.

Caution

Use heavy oven mitts or potholders when removing bowl from microwave as candy mixture will be extremely hot. If available, use a 2-qt. glass measuring cup with handle as a large microwaveable bowl.

Hot/Sweet Peanut Brittle

Stir 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce into candy along with the vanilla.

Just found this recipe and can't wait to try it out! For a packaging idea pour the brittle in the bottom of a well greased metal pie plate to get uniform size. Once cool just slip the whole brittle disk into a zip lock or other food storage bag and add a bow or other embelishments for holiday gift-giving!

Candyholic here! Peanut Brittle is my favorite candy and this is the best I've ever tasted. Very easy to make and my double batch was gone within 15 minutes at a family gathering. You have to add this to your favorites list- you won't be sorry.

Helpful Hint: *5 min on high in the microwave is too long. It burned everything and melted my plastic bowel. *Do not use a plastic bowel in the microwave with this recipe. *I tried it again, reducing the time in the microwave(ca. 3min)and it came out perfectly! *I also drizzled it with semi-sweet chocolate and it was awesome!! **Yummy!!!!**

So good!! Everyone at my work LOVED it and could not believe I made it in the microwave. Really good plain or I just drizzled with melted semi-sweet choc (did not add PB). I was amazed at how easy and how good the brittle was.

I'm not sure what I did or didn't do however mine came out chewy. It was so easy to make and dipping in the chocolate was a very nice treat. I made for the holidays and will make again for sure. Big hit all around.
