From my sister's copy of a Hershey's cookbook. This makes a yummy gift; or try some of it broken up over ice creams and frosted cakes and cookies. *Prep time is cook time.* Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) package peanut butter chips, divided |
1 1/2 cups butter |
1 3/4 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons light corn syrup |
3 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Butter a 15x10x1 jelly-roll pan; for thicker brittle, use a 13x9 pan.
2. Sprinkle 1 cup of the peanut butter chips evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan; set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan; stir in the sugar, corn syrup, and water.
4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 300*F.
5. on a candy thermometer.
6. (This should take about 30-35 minutes-the bulb of the thermometer should not rest on the bottom of the saucepan.) Remove pan from heat; immediately spread the mixture into the prepared pan.
7. Sprinkle with the remaining peanut butter chips; cool completely.
8. Remove brittle from the pan; break into pieces, large or small.
9. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
