No Peanut Brittle For You!

I GIVE UP!!!!

I just re-made my peanut brittle. I waited until it was nearly done before adding the peanuts and they STILL burned! I'm starting to think it may have something to do with my pot since it's not a very good one and probably has hot spots, etc. I'm not going to try anymore. Maybe I'll make peppermint bark instead since that doesn't involve cooking anything.

I really CAN make candy. I even make GOOD candy most of the time. The peanut brittle I made last night tastes great and I'm sure this brittle tastes great as well but I just can't give anyone candy that has some blackened peanuts in it.

***Update at 8:55 PM*** THANK YOU, AUNT DARLENE! Your delicious and EASY Christmas snack mix (I don't actually know the real name) has renewed my confidence in my treat-making abilities. Oh, yes, and thank you, Mom, for giving me the recipe. :) I am still trying to motivate myself to dip pretzels in chocolate- probably can't mess that one up :P- and maybe make an easy fudge- which may destroy my faith in me again.
