A HARD HOLIDAY!

            A HARD HOLIDAY!
     
   Just a few days ago we celebrated
National Peanut Day. Today we'll
be observing National Peanut Brittle
Day! We had some given to us as a
Christmas present by a dear friend
and that's another reason my mind is
thinking about this treat!
    Brittle was one of the first types of
candy ever made. Many ancient
cultures that had access to molasses,
honey, or sugar, produced some form
of it.
    According to one account, peanut
brittle was a Celtic dessert. The Celts
covered peanuts in sugar and baked
them, and this eventually evolved into
a caramel bark.
    One legend says it was all a mistake.
The story goes that a southern woman
was making taffy and instead of using
cream of tartar, she used baking soda
by accident.
     However it was created peanut
brittle is one of the most popular
candies in the United States.
(Especially by dentists!)
     Since it's also National Spouses
Day perhaps you can celebrate
both by giving your significant
other a box of peanut brittle!
     Hope she or he likes it so that
all your NEWS is good!
