Happy National Peanut Brittle Day!

January 26 is National Peanut Brittle Day.  Coincidentally, I had the pleasure of making a version of peanut brittle from the African country of Benin very recently.  If you are in a peanut brittle mood, what better day to honor that mood than January 26?  Check-out my little blog entry on Benin's Confit d'Arachide (or candied peanuts) here!  You will love this three ingredient charmer.

 

For some more history on brittle, read this.  I had no idea this had Celtic origins.
