"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When is starts to cool, I butter my hands and pull the peanut brittle until it is thin. I also use a buttered fork to pull it.

We like lots of peanuts so I use the whole package.

For a different flavor I also use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light corn syrup.
