Peanut Brittle


My dad found this recipe in 1994 and began making this every year, batch after batch, after batch. he thought i was crazy for asking him to copy the recipe out for me (i wanted his handwriting) but he did it. he made this such a special memory for our entire family. it's easy, made in microwave and soooo very good. i lost my dad to cancer in 2008 and now my eldest son is wanting to take on the tradition. Here's to you daddy.
