List of Ingredients




1-½ t. plus 1-½ c. butter (no substitutes), divided
2 c. peanut butter chips, divided
1-¾ c. sugar
3 T. light corn syrup
3 T. water
1-½ c. salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
½ c. semisweet chocolate chips

Recipe



Butter the bottom and sides of a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan with 1-½ t. butter.

Sprinkle with 1 c. peanut butter chips; set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, water and remaining butter to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until butter is melted. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300 degrees (hard crack stage). Remove from heat; stir in peanuts. Quickly pour onto prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and remaining peanut butter chips.

With a knife, gently swirl softened chips over top of brittle.

Cool before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Yield: 2-½ lb.
