"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Original recipe from Sondra Eckel Bohannon. Sondra and I had a girl scout troop out at Camp Weideman (where Uncle Paul Fling was Ranger). We had planned on making peanut brittle but forgot sugar. We got sugar from Aunt Violet. Then realized we had no place to pour peanut brittle to cool. Girls said we had aluminum foil and could pour it on foil on sidewalk. It worked. I call it my 2-2-2-2 peanut brittle recipe.
