953 nut 57,581 #1 Posted January 26 If you love the crunch that comes from salty roasted nuts embedded in a buttery hard sugar bark and broken into multiple pieces, you’ll be excited to celebrate National Peanut Brittle Day on January 26, 2025! Filled with peanuts, almonds, or pecans, this classic candy is a timeless treat perfect for any occasion! It's theorized that peanut brittle made its way to the U.S. through Irish settlers coming to live in the New World around 1830. Around 1890 a woman in New England might have created peanut brittle by accidentally pouring baking soda into her taffy mix instead of cream of tartar. The term "brittle" appears for the very first time in print in 1892. The history of peanut brittle is tied to Tony Beaver, a lumberjack folk hero. In the story, Beaver creates peanut brittle when he stops a flood using peanuts and molasses. No one seems to know where it came from or who made it first, all I know for sure is I love it. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
