She made Peanut brittle… something that I have actually never even had before….
she used this recipe
and, yes, she shelled all of the peanuts herself. It would have taken a whole lot less time if we weren’t eating them as fast as she was shelling them…..
It was her first time using a candy thermometer…. She did a great job!!!
and because of our recent blizzard…
it took the brittle seconds to set up…
it really was quite easy to make… as long as you keep an eye on the temperature of the mixture….
Why have I never had this before? I have no clue… it was so tasty that it is going to be on my Christmas cookie list for years to come.

Here is he recipe for “Over the Rainbow Treats’
by Mary MacPherson
1 cup canned mixed peas & carrots, drained
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered skim milk
1 tsp garlic powder
6 TBSP vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup ice water
optional~ bone shaped- cookie cutter
In a blender or food processor, puree carrots & peas and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered skim milk and garlic powder. Make a well in the center of the mixture and gradually stir in the pureed vegetables, oil, beaten egg and ice water until well- blended.
Divide into 2 balls and individually knead each one on a floured board for about 2 minutes.
With a rolling pin, roll dough to between a 1/4″ to 1/2″ thickness. Using bone shaped (or other) cookie cutter cut cookies & place on a foiled lined baking sheet. ( if you want to create a hole for hanging, use a straw… before baking)
Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove form oven & carefully turn each biscuit over. Return to oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Cool on a rack and store at room temp in a container with a loose -fitting lid.
I hung a few on the tree
But poor Fenway went into a downstay that I’m sure would’ve lasted until Christmas..
I pulled them down & let her have one. As my # 1 taste-tester.. she approves.
So…… my giveaway?? If you leave a comment here or on facebook, I will have Ryan randomly draw a name from the comments and I will send your pup a dozen home made biscuits in time for Christmas.
I will have him draw a name on hmmm………. how about The 15th…. that will give me time to ship … and maybe a little something for your pup’s master 🙂
