How it's used
Peanut brittle is a classic traditional snack often associated with Lunar New Year celebrations in Hong Kong. It is frequently sold in local bakeries or traditional confectionery shops that specialize in handmade sweets. Unlike mass produced candy, authentic versions are prized for having a balance between the nutty aroma and the caramelized sugar coating.
