As odd as it may sound, the taste of jalapeno works very well with the sweet taste. We gave this as gifts for the holiday and it was very well received. I've been asked to make it again by several people.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 -2 jalapeno, chopped
1/3 cup water
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 cups peanuts

I had some trouble getting the brittle to reach the right temperature. But I kept stirring and eventually it came together.

This brittle is a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less jalapeños.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The jalapeños add just the right amount of heat.

This brittle is the perfect combination of crunchy and chewy. It's also not too hard to make, which is a bonus.

I love that this recipe uses honey instead of corn syrup. It gives the brittle a more natural flavor.

I've made this brittle several times now and it's always a hit. The heat from the jalapeños is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sugar and peanuts.
