One of the most popular and common candy you will find is a Peanut Brittle (Tablet Pistach). As a kid my mother would make this candy for us to get an understanding of our heritage. Years ago, Sugar was one of Haiti’s cash crops. Haiti has decreased its production of sugarcane, because of declining prices and fierce international competition but the impact the industry has on the culture still remains. Peanut Brittle (Tablet Pistach) is a result of the sugar industries impact.

Made this today because I was craving tablet pistasche. I think 1/4 of peanuts is not enough. I added 1/2 to recipe and still didn’t think it was enough. Used dark brown sugar because I was ouf of light brown. Didn’t add salt because I used Planter’s roasted peanuts which already have sea salt. I was afraid it would be too salty. Had to leave out star anise extract because I don’t have it. Still tasted good. Would make again with additional peanuts. I like my brittle to more peanut than sugar.
