Dad’s Peanut Butter Brittle
Today I made some of this crunchy goodness for the first time. It actually wasn’t too difficult. Time consuming, but worth it. I do wish my Dad was here so I could give him some of this homemade peanut brittle. I think he would be pretty impressed that I made it from scratch.
