Buster ate 5 lbs of peanut brittle. There was nothing in it to hurt him, but 5 lbs. Wow! that is a lot.

Where on earth did he get his paws on that much peanut brittle?
Maybe it's a good thing it wasn't peanut butter, his mouth would stuck for a week

[Lunareclipse]

I made it. I normally make a bunch and store it up for the upcoming holidays. Peanut brittle can keep for a long time if it's stored properly. He ate my whole batch.

Yummy!!
Do you have a favourite receipe you would like to share?

[Lunareclipse]

For peanut brittle or in general?

I can share some of my favs. I have serious weakness for carnival food.

Sugar Waffles
1 egg
½ c flour
1 tbsp sugar
½ c milk
1 tbsp vegetable oil


Funnel Cakes
2 eggs
1 c milk
1 c water
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 c flour
¼ c sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt


Since both of these are carnival foods, they are deep-fried. Use a funnel for the funnel cakes and a sugar waffle iron for the sugar waffles. Both of these are coated with powdered sugar after you make them.

Thanks Luna:
Tried the sugar waffles this morning. Kids really liked them. Hmmm, maybe a new favourite for breakfast? Really easy to make too.

[Lara's mom]

Wow!!! That boy of yours has a sweet tooth!!! Am going to try the funnel cakes once I buy more cooking oil. I don't have nearly enough.

You have sugar waffle irons? Sugar waffles aren't exactly breakfast food. I hope you didn't cook them in a waffle iron. A waffle iron and a sugar waffle iron look totally different.
Let me find some pics.

Sugar waffles look like snowflakes when they are done. They are really thin and break fairly easy. I use a butterfly shaped sugar waffle iron, so mine look like butterflies. Most of them look like snowflakes or flowers though.

[Lara's mom]

When I read your recipe for sugar waffles, it reminded me of something my Grandmother made. It seemed to me that the batter would be way too thin for a waffle iron. Then, I saw the picture of what you used to make them. I have the same tool handed down my Grandmother. She called what you make "rosettes" and the tool a "rosette iron." I make them for pot lucks, sprinkled with icing sugar and, everyone goes crazy over them!!! I agree though, they aren't breakfast food - more like a light and crispy cookie.

OOPS: Great, I just served what should be a treat to my kids for breakfast.
I wondered why the batter was so thin, I thought that I did something wrong.
Guess that what I get for not reading very carefully.
On the good side, I didn't use a waffle iron, I used my pancake griddle.
They were pretty good, so they must be amazing when cooked properly
Oh well, live and learn!!

lol. They must have come out thin like crepes!
I've never heard them called rosette irons. But I suppose it's fitting. Since our family uses butterfly irons instead of rosette irons, are we making butterfly waffles?

[Lara's mom]

I have several different shaped ones. One of them makes something that resembles a paper muffin cup. You fill it with fresh berries and top it with whipped cream...Yummy! I also have a butterfly one and a couple shaped like flowers.

I would have ended up using the waffle iron.

My mom had that thingie (sugar waffle iron) but I don't remember what she used to use it to make. I'll have to ask her what it was, IF I can even explain it well enough.

...I wonder if it was sugar waffles..whatever it was I kinda remember 'thin and crispy'...

LOL Sounds like a good breakfast to me! My boys loved Chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast when they were home. Now thats a sugar high.
Speaking of sugar highs, thats a whole lot of peanut brittle for one dog to eat. I bet you had to use the xtra big pooper scooper in the yard.

When our neighbors enormous Poodle used to come and poop in our yard I'd call them potato's, those things were huge.
