Just attempted to make peanut brittle

[Plumbking]

Is there such a thing as peanut blob?

The house now smells like a candy factory. Everything was going good then I added baking soda and things got exciting quickly. Adding the peanuts didn't help. Tried to pour onto backing sheet to cool but I can't smooth out the blob.

I hope it tastes as good as it smells.

Have more peanuts and will try again tomorrow. Anyone have a good recipe?

My wife makes Peanut Brittle in the microwave. She says the very last ingredient she adds (after it's all done cooking) is the baking soda. And in watching her do it and how quickly it sets up, I can see why the very last ingredient is the baking soda. She dumps it on the pan and quickly spreads it out.
