Peanut Brittle

[CC1]

In the interest of making AFF a forum of just "unity" I am offering up this thread about peanut brittle.

It should be a subject we can be unified about and have none of that pesky bickering, differing of opinons, and all of that other non unity stuff.

-Does your church make peanut brittle as a moneymaker?
-If so how successful are you? How much do you make and sell and how often?
-Do you know first hand stories of churches paid for by peanut brittle sales? If so share them

-Any funny stories from the making of peanut brittle or the sale of it?
-Any tragedies involving making or selling peanut brittle?

If I never make peanut brittle again I will be blessed. I hate when people put too much butter in the pans and it splatters on you!!! And they keep doing it when you try to tell them not to.



I make pecan brittle for Christmas, though. I don't mind that.

The Pastor was flying cross country at 37,000 feet, when the pilot came on the intercom and said...

"Terrible news , folks, we have developed dangerous engine problems, if ANYONE can get in touch with a higher power please do".

The Pastor reaches for his briefcase, opens it, moves aside his sermon notes, his Bible and takes two peanut brittle paddies in his hands and lifts them above his head and says....

































"You've gotten me out of many tight spots, don't let me down now".

I don't know if Christ Church Nashville ever made peanut brittle but I do know that back in the early days of the 1960's and 1970's not only did Pastor Hardwick have a job but he and the members of the church sold hundreds of dozens of donuts several Saturday's a month to pay the church note, utilities, etc.

The church I grew up in Alaska not only made peanut brittle but tamales, my mom's homemade potato salad (untl the health department shut that down), cakes, easter eggs made from hard sugar and decorated, and Lord knows what all else I don't remember!!

Peanut Brittle is like the definition of a lie given by a Sunday school child the teacher asked the child to define what is a lie the child said "abomination to God but a very present help in trouble."

I just met someone from South Dakota who said they put coconut in their PB at their church. I've never heard of that before...has anyone else put other ingredients in their PB?

Well, my daddy was the peanut brittle foreman and he said they had a secret recipe...guess I should have gotten it from him.

I hate peanut brittle, but folks always said AFT's brittle was the best...
