About Peanut brittle
Peanut brittle is a classic confection made by combining sugar, butter, and corn syrup to create a caramel-like base, then folding in roasted peanuts for a crunchy texture. A staple in Western desserts, its origins trace back to various global candy traditions, though it’s widely popular in the United States, particularly during holidays. The cooking process involves boiling the mixture to a hard-crack stage, resulting in the characteristic glossy, brittle texture. While peanuts provide protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins such as niacin and folate, peanut brittle is primarily a sugary treat, high in calories, added sugar, and saturated fat, making it a dessert best enjoyed in moderation. Its addictive crunch and sweet, nutty warmth make it a beloved indulgence but not ideal for those seeking nutrient-dense options or managing sugar intake.
