Peanut Brittle White Chocolate Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Lightly butter cookie sheet and set aside for now.
• In small bowl, stir the cocoa and baking soda, then the butter; set aside.
• In heavy 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and whipping cream, stirring to combine.
• Cook over medium heat. Keep stirring until sugar is dissolved.
• Stir in the peanuts and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches 300° or when syrup dropped into very cold water separates to threads that are hard and brittle (of course, make sure the bulb on the candy thermometer is not resting on bottom of the pan when used).
• Remove from heat and stir in cocoa mixture.
• Immediately pour onto the buttered cookie sheet.
• With tongs or wooden spoons, quickly spread and pull into a 1/4-inch thickness.
• Put cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool completely.
• When the brittle is cool, break into pieces.

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, cream the butter and sugars until smooth.
• Add eggs, beating well; beat in vanilla.
• Combine the flour, dry pudding mix, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture, and mix well.
• Stir in the vanilla chips, nuts and peanut brittle.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls 2-in apart on greased baking sheets.
• Bake for 10-12 mins, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flours, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes., Sprinkle peanuts and chocolate chips over warm crust. Combine caramel topping and flour; drizzle over top. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 12-16 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a rimmed 11-by-17 or 12-by-18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, covering the pan and extending over the sides.
• Lay 2 matzo squares in the pan, positioning the concave side up to best retain the caramel. Then, like a puzzle, fit the remaining matzo onto the baking sheet, carefully breaking pieces to fill the entire baking pan in one layer. (Don't worry if they are not perfect; the brittle will be cut up later.)
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, about 6 minutes. Boil just until very bubbly, another 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from heat and pour over the matzo, covering completely. Working quickly, spread the caramel using a heatproof spatula, then spoon it on top if it spills between the cracks in the matzo.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, checking to make sure the edges and top are not burning.
• Once the matzo is almost done baking, heat the peanut butter in a microwave until slightly warmed and easily pourable, about 20 to 30 seconds on high.
• Remove the matzo from the oven and drizzle the warmed peanut butter on top, then sprinkle with the peanuts, then the salt. Cool, break into pieces then transfer to a lidded container. Brittle is best - and at its snappiest - when chilled. Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15 until peanut butter firms up. Brittle will keep up to 1 month frozen; let it thaw for about 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Line a large jellyroll pan with heavy-duty foil.
• Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on medium setting for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Place candy canes in a plastic bag, or between two pieces of waxed paper. Using a mallet or rolling pin, break the candy canes into chunks. Stir peppermint into melted white chocolate. Spread evenly in pan, and chill until set, about 1 hour. Break into pieces by slamming pan on counter.

Steps:

• Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan and a metal spatula; set aside. , In a 2-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and corn syrup. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 4 minutes; stir. Cook 3 minutes longer. Stir in peanuts and butter. Microwave for 30-60 seconds or until mixture turns a light amber color (mixture will be very hot)., Quickly stir in cocoa, baking soda and vanilla until combined. Immediately pour into prepared pan; spread with the metal spatula. Cool before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Using the broil setting, toast the coconut on a flat cookie sheet make sure it is well spread out.
• This only takes a few minutes and will burn if left unattended.
• Chop the cashews and spread evenly over the bottom of an ungreased 9x9" baking pan that has sides; sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the nuts.
• Combine the butter, sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan.
• Stir over medium heat until ingredients are combined.
• Continue stirring until mixture reaches the hard crack stage, stirring constantly (approximately 45 minutes).
• Pour over nuts & coconut and making sure mixture is disbursed evenly (you may tilt slightly while candy is still liquid to achieve this).
• Let sit for about an hour.
• Microwave about 3 chunks of the white chocolate almond bark for about a minute, stir to check consistency and return to microwave for about 15 seconds each time until smooth and spreadable.
• Once white chocolate mixture is smooth, spread over the top of candy's surface so it is completely covered.
• Once cooled, use a very sharp french knife and cut into 1" squares.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, corn syrup and boiling water in a heavy saucepan.
• Bring to boil until temperature reaches 245 degrees F.
• Add peanuts and stir constantly until mixture reaches 300 - 330 degrees F. You will know it is ready when it is a deep caramel colour and a drop of the brittle forms a ball when dropped in ice water.
• Quickly remove from heat and stir in butter.
• Add baking soda and stir until foamy.
• Pour onto warmed and greased cookie sheet (this helps the brittle to spread out more easily).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, beat shortening with sugars and vanilla until creamy. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until incorporated. Stir in 1 cup (250 ml) Reese's peanut butter chipits, all toffee bits and all peanuts.
• Drop mixture by rounded tablespoons (15 ml) onto prepared baking sheets, about 2" (5 cm) apart.
• Bake each sheet in preheated oven 10 - 12 minutes or until deep golden brown and just set. Cool on sheet, 3 minutes. Remove to wire racks and cool completely. Melt remaining peanut butter chips in microwave on High (100%) about 45 seconds. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
