For a deeper caramel flavor, cook the sugar mixture until it reaches a slightly darker amber color.
Use roasted peanuts for enhanced flavor. You can also use salted peanuts, but reduce the amount of added salt accordingly.
Be careful when working with hot sugar, as it can cause severe burns. Always use caution and keep children away from the stovetop.
Store the peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
