The peanut brittle is a sweet, hard candy made from accessible easy ingredients like roasted peanuts, pecans, cashews or any nuts of your choice. This is an old-fashioned recipe that is a smooth, flat, and nutty flake of dessert. Its mixture is similar to toffee, and once it is cooled down from being cooked, it can be broken into smaller pieces of hard candies. This sweet recipe can last at room temperature for weeks.
