Much easier! And less messy.<br />Last night The Writer made an egg dish in a bread pan (?) It was tasty but I scrubbed and scrubbed the pan, let it soak overnight, and this morning had to take steel wool to it.

That also holds true for making fudge. You poor dear--what chore it is to clean up after boiled sugar. However, all that hard work indicates you're feeling more energetic.<br />I love pralines.

But at least after the re-do it turned out the way you like it. :) I surely did not envy you any of having all of that mess to clean up...scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing. Did you give Poppy his turn at scrubbing? ;) You were very thoughtful to pick up that box of peanut brittle when you were out. I have made peanut brittle but it has been years ago.
