Each year as a child we made candy and would share it with the neighbors. My wife and I have continued the tradition and worked several hours to get everything ready this year. I made the pecan brittle and divinity, Kinsey made caramels and fudge. Early reports indicate the candy was a hit, and what is better than making people happy with sweets.
Here's a picture of the pecan brittle done the traditional way in a 9x9 pan. This year I tried pouring it out onto a marble slab and I think I'll continue doing that in the future. You can get the pecans mixed in better, but you can't really get it to spread out anymore than it does in the pan. I guess the candy sets up too fast on the marble.

Mmmm... I've already made two batches of pecan brittle and have to do more. It's such a hit. And it's so easy to make. Everyone thinks it's hard, and so impressive, but it can be our little secret how easy it is to make.
I love the pecan brittle. Tomorrow night I am making my batches if all goes well.
