Fool's Gold Peanut Brittle
I would like the recipe for peanut brittle that is really airy. I think it is called Fool's Gold. I bought some at Silver Dollar City and liked it and want to make it. Sorry, I'm not familiar with that particular candy, although it sounds quite good. Here's another recipe I found that is considered to be an airy peanut brittle. Airy Peanut Brittle Recipe
Note: If you want to use peanuts that are already roasted, wait and add them to the mixture just near the end of the heating process. Microwave Peanut Brittle RecipeHere's a microwave recipe for peanut brittle I found on another forum. It had good reviews and I'm going to try it myself this holiday. In a large (2 quart) microwave safe glass bowl combine the following ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup (If you can get Lyle's Golden syrup, it makes a much better brittle.) **Use a wooden spoon for stirring because the mixture gets very thick. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Add: 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts or almonds or pecans or broken macadamia nuts, stirring well. Any of your favorite nuts will do. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until mixture is tan to light brown. Add: 1 teaspoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla Stir well. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes more. The nuts will be lightly browned and syrup very hot. Add: 1 teaspoon baking soda - sprinkle the baking soda over the top of the syrup and stir briskly until light and foamy. Immediately pour onto lightly oiled foil. Spread out to about 1/4 inch thickness and allow to cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Break up your cooled peanut brittle and store in an airtight jar or container. If you prefer using raw peanuts, just add them at the beginning and add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Well, those may not be what you are looking for, but they are worth trying until you find the Fool's Gold peanut brittle recipe. Let's ask the other visitors and see if anyone else knows about it, shall we? Does anyone know the recipe for Fool's Gold peanut brittle?
