Santa Crisps Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Santa will have to share these traditional holiday treats. Prep time: 10 min. Decoration time: 15 min. Cooking time: 35 min. Cooling time: 60 min Difficulty: Challenging What you*ll need: 1 bag DOVE® Brand Rich Dark Chocolate 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/4 cup water 1 cup roasted peanuts 2 teaspoons butter 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Candy thermometer 2 cookie sheet pans Aluminum foil 3-quart heavy bottomed pot What to do: Line cookie sheets with foil, set aside. Bring the sugar, corn syrup and water to a boil in a heavy bottomed saucepan over a medium heat. Insert a candy thermometer into the boiling mixture and continue cooking until it reaches 250 degrees. Add the peanuts and stir occasionally until mixture begins to turn a golden color. Remove immediately from heat onto a heatproof surface. Add the butter and the baking soda. Be very careful! The mixture will foam and double in size. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart. Let candies harden and cool completely, about 1 hour. In the meantime, melt DOVE® Brand Rich Dark Chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Peel brittle off the foil and cover the backs with chocolate using a palette knife or table knife. Place the candy with the chocolate side up until it sets. Makes 2 dozen pieces (about)
