Strangely enough, I had found it here in Antwerp ONLY in the local
Chinese
specialty stores... they always seem to have a corner dedicated to odd
lots of
stuff for English ex-patriates and other English speakers like me.... I
also
found a few <lame> "mexican" items, marshmallows, peanut butter, etc.
there, so
see if your area doesn't have one of these little gems.....

Speaking of Peanut Brittle, someone posted, about 1-2 years ago, a
recipe for
microwave brittle. Does anyone still have that, as it made a really nice
hot
brittle... used cashews and almonds and macadamias in it as well.. man,
I am in
the mood for some right NOW!

I tried the same recipe with"golden syrup" but the results were a bit
more
sticky than I would have thought it should be, and VERY hygroscopic....
so I'd
like to know a good substX-Mozilla-Status: 0009s well, please!
