Peanut brittle

taste of the south

You can make this sweet crunch of a candy on the cooktop or in the microwave.

Southerners love peanuts. There are many ways to eat these nutty bites, but they are perhaps at their best in peanut brittle. These recipes will surprise you with their ease and remind you of why you fell for peanuts in the first place. Betsy Owens, executive director of Virginia Carolina Peanut Promotions, sums up their robust flavor best: "It's like the aroma of brewing coffee and sizzling bacon. They taste and smell so good, there's no turning back."
