*This is Grandma Opal's recipe. Many of you remember helping her pull the peanut brittle and how it burned our fingers. Not many can make it like she did. I know I can't. Love and Miss you Grandma. The picture is some that Mom made.
*I would suggest that if you haven't helped Grandma or made this with someone else before, find someone that has made it and have them help you. You for sure need two people to pull it.
