I put this question to a friend today who is an excellent cook.
She said that if peanut brittle is insufficiently heated, the
carmelization process would be incomplete. Perhaps a brittle
substance could be produced that would appear almost clear.
Looks like glass, tastes like sugar. I dont see why one could not
make a bottle out of such a confection, and stick a beer
label on it, for effect. In fact beer bottles are brown, like
peanut brittle. Break the thing right before everyone's
wondering eyes, and start eating. That sounds like a great
gag to pull at Extro5. {8^D spike
