I made this sweet and crunchy candy for Christmas and sent some with my husband to work. His co-workers liked it so much they asked for more. It has a lovely glossy appearance, is packed with peanuts and gets a different flavor from cinnamon. -Grace Miller, Mansfield, Ohio

Very easy recipe! If you like peanut brittle that's LOADED with peanuts, follow the recipe. If you like the crunchy candy portion a lot, I'd only use a cup of peanuts.
