My grandmother used to make peanut brittle and the minute she just got the baking soda stirred in, she would quickly dump it onto a buttered sheet pan so that the air bubbles are still in the candy. This would cause the brittle to be very light and airy. Making a delicate brittle. The more that you stir the less air bubbles you'll have. Making the brittle harder

@treeissaved2359 And that, right there, is the wonderful thing about making brittle. Some families, like yours, prefer the lighter air-filled brittle, and some, like ours, prefer the more dense structure. Either way, I am not turning down a piece of homemade brittle, as both are delicious!

The reason your chocolate is seizing is because you're using water-based food coloring. Water seizes chocolate as you you well know. When working with chocolate, you must use an oil-based food coloring. Hope this helps!❤

My amish friends in her 70s or 80s makes this almost daily for her store, and she stirs constant once the nuts go in. So trust grandma's recipe

If you heat your nuts some before adding to the pot. The syrup won't instantly cease because the nuts are cold, colder than the syrup. Also I use 2 Tablespoons of baking soda. Fulffs up the cand amazing, keeps those bubbles, and cand is much lighter, not so hard.

I like to make 'instant' peanut brittle. Melt a package of Turbinado sugar in the raw in a frying pan, then add peanuts, or raw walnuts, stir and dump out on wax paper cool and break to pieces. You can do this in the microwave too, but it cools so quickly that its difficult to break it into smaller pieces. I gave out one of my Grandmothers recipes in xmas cards this year. It was fun, all the memories, she also taught me how to make real fudge. She always had a batch waiting for me when i visited. Oh, she taught me how to make flakey pie crust too. 😍

Back in the 70’s, I made a lot of peanut brittle using raw peanuts and a candy thermometer. It seemed to take forever but was delicious. Fast forward to 2015, my kids admitted they didn’t like peanut brittle. So I started making it in the microwave with roasted peanuts. A lot less work and tastes just as good.

May I share a tip I learned from another KZfaq cook? If you tightly wad up your parchment paper then uncrumple it and mostly smooth it flat again not only will it stay put on a flat cookie sheet but it can be shaped to fit different shaped pans too. Especially when you snip the corners as you did. Works for me.

If you cooked the first ingredients until when you stir it, lift the spoon dripping in the pot, it will stream a string about 18 inches long then add the raw peanuts and cook until golden brown. Add baking soda butter and vanilla. Stir and spread on a buttered cookie sheet.

I have made peanut brittle since junior high. I however had an actual candy thermometer. And it has all the actual soft ball, hard ball, soft crack, and hard crack measurements . It was the only peanut brittle that my grandpa could eat and he was so happy. It was his favorite. I had to make at least two batches every time. It just melted in your mouth. It became my favorite too.

When you get water in chocolate, it will seize. Food coloring has some water. If you add it too quickly it will seize. If you need to add food coloring, add it a drop or two at a time and thoroughly stir it in before adding more. My friend, Tom made Grinch Balls (Mint Oreo Balls dipped in bright green white chocolate) on his channel, Come Sit at My Table. He demonstrated how to add the coloring to his white chocolate. BTW, he and his wife are Dave Ramsey fans and went through the program years ago. Now they are living their best life!
