Notes: This is Jeff's grandpa's recipe. I remember when we were first married, at Christmas time, Jeff's Grandpa would always have burns on his hands from making the peanut brittle. It was his recipe and his labor of love at Christmas time. I wish the kids could have met him. He was so sweet, so giving and genuinely kind. Jeff has carried on the tradition of making peanut brittle for Christmas and he blesses us with it every Christmas!
