I followed the directions pretty closely...I added the peanuts at about 225* and cooked it until the hard crack stage (300*F)...it took about 20 minutes. Also, I prewarmed the cookie sheet to make it easier to spread (put it in the oven at 170* for about 5-10 minutes). It came out perfect! Nice and crunchy! I will definately keep this recipe for years to come!

I hate giving bad reviews, but I assumed, 5 stars would guarantee an awesome recipe, but 'twas not the case. I followed the recipe to the tee and it turned out to be a whole lot of work for a sticky pile of flexible sugar and raw nuts. I made a batch of this for xmas, and it all went to waste. The stickiness was so unappetizing, and there was no crunch whatsoever. :(
