Peanut Butter Quinoa Brittle

All hail BRITTLE. Not brittle things, but actual brittle itself. The sugary, crunchy kind of brittle, that’s the kinda brittle we’re talking about.

This recipe was 100 percent inspired by Minimalist Baker’s quinoa brittle, which is beyond brilliant in my opinion. I thought, YES, I NEED a peanut butter version of that right.now.

Speaking of peanut brittle… growing up my family and I always went to a festival called Yankee Peddler in the fall and every year, without fail, we would leave with a bag (or three) of peanut brittle and we would almost always eat the entire bag of brittle on the 45 minute drive back home. Shameful? Hardly. Delicious? Absolutely.

I like to think of this peanut butter quinoa brittle as a fun and healthier spin on traditional peanut brittle.
