My mom's BFF (and yes, they call each other that instead of their real names, like, "Hey BFF!") slash my super amazing wedding planner slash our family Christmas card photographer slash decorating diva Kim sent us a sweet package a few weeks ago full of VHS tapes and her famous peanut brittle. She started a new business selling this stuff, and I couldn't get enough of it.
Most of the Brits I know don't really care for peanut butter. They don't like the stickiness on the roof of the mouth thing. But the ones I gave a chintzy little piece to (because I am a hog and don't like to share) loved it! They loved that it was so light and chewy and just the right balance of salty and sweet, not break-your-teeth-off hard and I-can-feel-cavities-forming-even-now sugary. And to dip and drizzle it with chocolate? HEAVEN!
I meant to write this post long, long ago, but I always forgot to ask my mom to ask Kim - sorry... BFF - to give me more information about how to get some more. And I meant to take pictures of it, but we ate it all before that happened. And then I thought, I'll take my own advice I gave to my doctor here and just Google it. So I did. And I answered my own questions and I got another picture from her new website.
Sweet!
Because I'm your friend and you're my readers, I will send you some as a gift if you just leave a comment on any post sometime between now and Wednesday. I picked Wednesday because our friends Ben and Blaire are coming to visit, and I've been thinking about Wednesday and looking forward to it for about three months now.
Now, CONNIE AND NANCY, this is how you leave a comment:
1) Click at the bottom of whatever post you want to comment on, where it likely says "0 Comments," or more hopefully "24 comments."
2) Type your comment in the box that says "Leave your comment." If you're not signing in with an identity (if you don't know what that means, you don't have one), be sure to type your name at the bottom, much like you would a letter. If you don't type your name, I won't know who you are.
3) If you don't already have a blog or are not logged in, under "Choose and identity," click the anonymous button.
4) Click "Publish your comment."
5) It might ask you to type in some numbers or letters that you'll see in a text box. They just put that there so computers don't spam your comments section. Re-type what you see and click "Publish your comment," or something to that effect, again.
You did it!
If you just can't wait and need to order some now, go to Kim's website for more information or you can e-mail BFF at crackedanddipped@gmail.com.
Good luck readers!

Not like Peanut Butter! Why that's just un-American! Oh wait....
Mmmmm... that looks amazing! :)Does the contest apply to fellow Americans in the UK? :) - Tara Lopez
Tara, of course! It's open to anyone! Thanks for leaving a comment.
in the words of the woman from napoleon dynamite who wants uncle rico's "tupperware" - "i want that." :)
Looks like great stuff! Thanks for making us aware. Peanut Butter...a must.
I love peanut butter and chocolate in almost any possible combination. Send away.
Who can pass up the opportunity of winning homemade peanut brittle? Not me! :) I am sure it is out of this world...fingers crossed! ~Robin
Delicious! I may just need to try some of that goodness. Miss you!!!
Hey Nicole! I have to admit I am a peanut brittle fanatic. After Christmas when it all went on sale, I bought several boxes and hid them so I wouldn't have to share! You don't need to send me some. Just save me a bite for when we come over to see you in May!!
MINE!! I CALL IT!! Nicole, seriously, you know that I'm a true friend, and that I really like you, and that I need to taste of this tasty goodness
I'm going to leave a comment but don't bother sending me some. I'll be in Bake in a couple of weeks and will hunt it down somehow. I do however, want to brag that my Dad makes a mean batch of peanut brittle himself. I think maybe your folks have even had the honor of trying it? He also makes a mean batch of Biscotti which even the Brits may approve of.
K10 - I HAVE had some of your dad's Christmas treats, including the peanut brittle. It was awesome!
In the words of 30 rock (because the best line from Napoleon Dynamite is already taken): "I want to go to there." I guess the "there" being the place where this peanut brittle is made? Miss you guys!
Winnie is so cute!!!!!! =] and praise the Lord for the new car!!! hope you learn how to drive it soon!!! haha...youth group isn't the same without y'all we all love and miss y'all soooooo much!!!!!! ♥ Emma Jackson
