Accidental Brittle

My husband was trying to make a caramel sauce for the baked apples he was making but accidentally made brittle instead. When I figured out what had happened I grabbed a can of roasted peanuts and threw some in. I then hurried and grabbed a cookie sheet and sprayed it with the nonstick spray. He hurried and poured it onto the cookie sheet and we waited a few minutes for it to harden. It was some of the best peanut brittle I have ever tasted and it was oh so easy. He didn't even use a candy thermometer. You just have to watch and when you notice that you can put a little on a fork or spoon and it hardens then you know it is ready. If you have ever made peanut brittle you will have no problem.
