Sarah Vaughan, Waterville, Maine, found a recipe on Cooks.com.
When I went searching for what I thought would be an easy find, this recipe was about the only one I could see as well. I don’t know why; chocolate and peanuts are a natural combination in my world.
Chocolate Peanut Brittle with Peanut Butter
1 package (12 ounces) peanut butter chips, divided
3 sticks butter
1 ¾ cups sugar
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 ½ cups coarsely chopped salted peanutsÂ
½ cup chocolate chips
Lightly grease 15-by-10-inch jelly roll pan or cookie sheet.
Sprinkle 1 cup peanut butter chips evenly over pan; set aside.
In 2-quart saucepan, over medium heat, cook butter, sugar, water and corn syrup to boiling, stirring constantly.
Keep stirring until temperature reaches 300°F or hard crack stage, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in nuts, remaining peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
Immediately (and carefully) pour over chips in pan.
Cook and break into pieces. Â
