Candy making is new to me. Read: I've always been afraid of boiling sugar. (I'm also afraid of power tools, but that's because I fear drilling a hole into my finger or sawing off a limb.)
These past few months, I'm proud to say, the candy thermometer and I have become acquainted. It ain't so bad. Caramels, pralines, toffee; bring it on! This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays Baking Group pick was Peanut Brittle. I'm glad JoVonn picked it, so that I could put the thermometer to further use. After reading about the trouble some had with Melissa Murphy's recipe, I decided to go rogue and change some of the measurements. I checked out Hanaâ's recipe, as well as one at Allrecipes. Visit JoVonn's post for the original recipe, and see the other yummy brittles that the bakers made.
