You've had peanut butter. You've had toffee. But have you ever tried putting peanut butter in your toffee? This toffee is light and crunchy, with lots of salted peanuts and a wonderful peanut flavor. Don't confuse this recipe with peanut brittle, which is similar but not the same. Peanut brittles most often contain baking soda, which aerates the candy and gives it a lighter, crispier texture. Peanut brittles are also typically pulled while they cool down, so the candy becomes very thin (and brittle, hence the name). This is a toffee, so it does not contain baking soda and is not pulled while cooling. Thus, the final result will be thicker and have more of a crunchy, slightly sticky texture. If you want to try a comparison, make this recipe and then try the recipes for spicy peanut brittle or salted chocolate peanut brittleThis toffee is great on its own, or you can also dip individual shards in dark chocolate for an even more indulgent treat. Try chopping it up and adding it to chocolate clusters, sprinkling it on truffles, or using it as a topping for cupcakes or cakes
