National Peanut Brittle Day
On January 26th, the National Peanut Brittle Day honors a popular, flat candy treat that is enjoyed around the world. The candy's buttery, nutty texture makes for a delectable dish that can also be made at home.
Caramelized sugar or corn syrup is included in Peanut Brittle. Nuts are added to the molten sugar and then poured onto a flat surface such as granite or marble and smoothed into a thin sheet. The candy turns into a hard, brittle treat cut into smaller pieces as a result. Hand-stretched into a thin, easily cracked candy that melts in the mouth, making some of the best brittles.
The history of peanut brittle is uncertain, though one legend claims it was all a mistake. According to the tale, a southern woman was making taffy but instead of using cream of tartar, she accidentally used baking soda.
