katyjay 5,091 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Over here all recipes for peanut brittle call for light corn syrup. Don't know if you get it over there so found one that is only sugar and peanuts. Here it is, let me know if it works! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Brought back memories of bonfire night as a kid. Dad would make bonfire toffee [very dark] and peanut brittle. He'd toast the raw peanuts first under the grill, and it was my job to rub the skins off before he mixed them in with the 'brittle'.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have a wee promble here. SWMBO says she will not eat the stuff so I have to wait until my visitors come next month :o(( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 No room for the mobile shops now the Tesco brigade stay open till eleven in the local precinct.And of course in country areas the cost of fuel has made it unprofitable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 did your dad use black treacle for his bonfire toffee a lot of people did but i always prefeared mine liter but i have never been much of a toffee or caramel lover or fudge for that matter mrs cox on traffic terrace used to make loads and loads of different bonfire toffees and toffee apples and sell them out of her back window on bonfire night they did not have front doors in those house until the sixties when my sister lived in the same house after they had been renivated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
