Recipes to use up Peanut Brittle?!


Question:

Recipes to use up Peanut Brittle?

I was given a packet of Peanut Brittle and am not a huge fan of it, but I'm sure I could grind it up and use it in a recipe for biscuits or a slice or something like that? I'm not very creative in the kitchen and can't imagine making up my own recipe, so I thought someone might know how I can use up this packet of brittle in a recipe? Ideas?

Here are some great ideas

PEANUT BUTTER BRITTLE CAKE

1 (16 1/2 oz.) can ready-to-spread vanilla frosting
1/4 c. peanut butter
1 (1 lb.) angel food loaf cake, halved crosswise
1 c. finely crushed peanut brittle

Combine frosting and peanut butter and beat until smooth. Spread frosting over each cake half. Sprinkle peanut brittle over frosting. Makes about 6 servings.

CREAM CHEESE PEANUT BRITTLE COOKIES

1 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
1 1/2 c. crushed peanut brittle
2 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Additional granulated sugar, for sprinkling

In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until blended. Fold in peanut brittle. Add flour and baking soda; stir to make a soft dough. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Dip tines of fork into flour and press tines across tops of cookies to flatten; press again to opposite direction. Sprinkle cookies with granulated sugar.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or just until cookies are golden. Remove from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire racks. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
