    Chipotle Peanut Brittle

    At the food co-op where I love to shop they have this nut brittle that is spiced with chili. I don't usually buy it but I have had it and it is delish! I wish I could tell you the name of the company that makes this but I can't. BUT, I can tell you that you can make it yourself and it's not hard!

    This was my very first ever attempt at making peanut brittle and I have to say that I was pretty successful considering the thermometer got way too hot before I knew it. I'm SO lucky! I contemplated whether I was going to toss the syrup out or toss the peanuts in when I decided, what the heck and just tossed the peanuts in. I believe my thermometer went well over 300 degrees.

    • 1 11.5 ounce container salted, dry roasted peanuts
    • 1-½ teaspoons baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

      Anything chipotle is good...including sweets. I have to say, I always blanch at making candy, but you make it sound so easy! I will have to give it a shot, because this looks too good to miss.

      I've never been much of a brittle fan but I am totally intrigued by making it with chile.

      Yes! I saw this one and wanted to make it, but my husband didn't seem that interested. The WW points aren't bad. I think I'll give it a try and share some, too! Looks amazing!
