Hi John! Commenting to let you know that for this year’s Thanksgiving, I made exclusively your recipes and every dish was incredible. I made your air fryer turkey breast, green bean casserole, corn casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, and most stunningly your baked mac n cheese. All of it was divine. I sent your recipes and YouTube videos to multiple people who asked where I learned how to make each item! You are so incredible!!!! Thank

[deblangille]

Just want to thank you for always giving the measurements in cups, tbsp, or tsp as well as grams!!!
I think if I had to convert everything I wouldn’t never bake at all haha
I just love your videos and teaching skills !!

Just wanted to say that your recipes are by far the best out there for ANYTHING baking or cooking wise. I always search for my recipe and then type in preppy kitchen first JUST in case you have a recipe for what I want to make. You're awesome, and your attitude is the best.

I just made peanut brittle for the very first time 🙄 I had no idea it was so easy! Thanks for the video, I followed exactly and it came out PERFECT 😍

Oh my gosh, I had no idea that there are 2 different types of corn syrup--plain and high fructose! Wow. And this is one of the reasons I watch your videos! Your instructions are clear and we get to watch you do all the steps so even "not great" cooks/bakers like me can understand and have the courage to try. Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos for us, I really appreciate it!

My Aunt made the best peanut brittle. She insisted it had to be poured on marble to cool correctly. Great memories for me. Im going to try your recipe and methods . I dont have any marble surfaces. Thank you. Joys to you and your family!

I could eat that entire tray in one sitting!

Anyone else likes before watching? 🥰
All John's recipes I've made came out PERFECT, so I'm pretty sure this one will work out as well.

Gonna try for my mom's birthday, she'll love it 'cause it reminds me of our Brazilian peanut brittle (which is my mom's fav sweet ever).

Happy Thanksgiving from Brazil 🇧🇷

Love your channel John. Been watching you for a year or two.

John should be on the Food Network. He would be way better than those stupid "reality" and competition shows.

Hi John,
This is the best peanut brittle recipe I have ever made. I followed the recipe to a tee, and it turned out just like yours. You are right, the thermometer is the game changer here. Thanks so much for all your hard work. ❤ 🇨🇦

This looks so decadent and what a lovely idea for Christmas gifts!! Thank you John!

[CraftyLoops]

I just made a double batch of this peanut brittle this evening John and it turned out incredibly. I even did a layer of dark chocolate on top of one tray of brittle which turned out so good. Thank you so much for such a great recipe. I will have a lot of happy family members this Christmas. Lee x

Looks so amazing! Once you start eating peanut brittle, you can' hardly stop :) yum

[MiamiZombie]

Mmm looks really good. I've been making at least one of your recipes every day for the past couple weeks. Can't wait to make this one.

I watched your video using CC. Instead of baking soda, the CC said baking powder. Had I not known better, I wouldn’t have caught this. Your recipe attached to recipe correctly stated baking soda.
Otherwise, you have inspired me to make this as gifts. Thank you!

[shirleyontiveros]

I don’t cook much at all and I’ve had a craving for sweets. I stumbled across your channel and fell in love with your fudge and your peanut brittle. Total hit with friends that I gave gifts to.

Thank you very much for your recipe. Merry Christmas
