Thank you mucho. Does anyone have any special methods for spreading mixtures this hot? My mom does her brittle on the stove and is able to spread it nice and thin. It breaks up easier and seems to taste better too. But the mixture gets extremely hot and sticks to everything, and you have to be able to work quickly.
