And speaking of ingredients, this honey peanut brittle is made with our very own eastern shore honey. We used clover for this recipe. Have you heard about coconut sugar? It’s a natural sugar gaining in popularity made from sap extracted from the coconut tree, it's less processed than regular white table sugar and tastes similar to light brown sugar.

The original Salty and sweet confection– is still in fashion

Also interesting in the ingredient department, rather than using condensed or whole milk in this recipe, try this coconut cream, or you can make cashew cream easily enough. Dairy alternatives are delicious, provide you with energy and don’t upset the digestive system.

Do you know that honey peanut brittle was an accident? According to candy lore, a woman in the deep south was making salt-water taffy one day and mixed up the ingredients substituting baking soda for cream of tartar. In other lore across the pond, it is believed that peanut brittle is a Celtic dessert.
