Peanut Brittle features a sweet and buttery flavor with a tough and crunchy texture. It uses the foremost basic of ingredients (sugar, syrup, and peanuts). What's important to understand is that the syrup controls the grain of the brittle so adding less will give you a grainy textured brittle, while adding an excessive amount of it will give you a sticky and stringy brittle. You can get the crunchy and delicious old fashioned peanut brittle at various online stores.
