I made cinnamon pecans a couple of days ago:

Yesterday I made peanut brittle.  The two batches came out very different.  First batch:

Second batch was much lighter and more “brittle”:

Both are good.  I’m guessing that the temperatures were slightly different even though I used my thermapen. 

 

 

I've got some of the "debris" left from breaking up the brittle:

Any ideas of something good to do with this.  I mix the crumbs and shards of sponge candy with chocolate and make what I call "Happy Accident Candy" - it resembles a Crunchie bar (the best candy bar in the world, in my opinion) and I'd love to do something with these delicious scraps, too.
