I don’t know about you, but I always like to bring a little gift or treat to a party. However, living in a college dorm, I don’t always have the time to make a batch of brownies. This easy peanut brittle recipe is perfect for those times you need whip but a quick treat. Make the brittle and let cool as you get ready for the party.
