This is the peanut brittle that my lab group from AP Chemistry made. I usually don't like peanut brittle, but this was good. I was munching on it for the rest of the school day. During third period, I was sitting behind Kamille and unfortunately she is allergic to peanuts. I felt really bad because she couldn't even take the smell and presence of peanuts so she had to leave the room for the class period. Aside from that, this peanut brittle that I mostly put together was in no way disappointing. When I told my father about what I made, he insisted that I make it again at home. I really doubt that that will happen because I'm sure that he forgot and I don't feel like making it again.
I almost forgot to tell you all that Ericka Thompson almost killed us while we were making the peanut brittle because in the procedures it said put corn syrup and hydroxic acid in the sauce pan. Ericka was multitasking and she wasn't focusing on what hydroxic acid was. Hydroxic acid is actually water. Ericka put an acid that is like battery acid in the sauce pan. We had to vigorously scrub the pan out because we could have died if any of that acid remained in the peanut brittle. Gladly, we are all still living so we did the experiment correctly!
