Because of an allergy to corn I have been searching for a corn syrup free peanut brittle recipe. Can't wait to try this!

Sweet, crunchy creamy, delicious! Love the fact that I could easily click to change serving amount ingredients, and also nice to see a peanut brittle recipe that uses brown sugar instead of white--and also like using the regular shelled peanuts instead of raw peanuts, since that is what I have on hand. :) This is a great giftable recipe.
