Something went wrong

Alan and I had the brilliant idea of making peanut brittle. We never made it before so we’ll just call this a learning experience. Our candy thermometer apparently didn’t work which was a problem for us newbie candy makers. I know now we didn’t get it hot enough. Its more like extremely sticky toffee that I’m a little afraid to eat. I’m afraid it might pull a tooth out! But it tastes good!
you can do it the old way with dropping bits in icy water (or some such!) - but I'm with you on the teeth bit

@anniesue Yes! I remember doing that...and I’m with you both on the teeth 😩

Bet it's delicious, but absolutely with you on the teeth. I lost a crown once due to a Quality Street toffee. The dentist said he loves toffee - brings him lots of patients.

@anniesue I had forgotten about that trick, I remembered after words.

@seacreature I broke a tooth on a calcium chew. Quite ironic since calcium is supposed to make teeth stronger.

@narayani @anniesue @seacreature I ended up breaking it into little pieces and cooking it down again. I cooked it till it turned a caramel color and somehow it worked. Turned out pretty good!

Well done. I am sure it is delicious
