Not a huge peanut brittle fan, but I do like sweets.

There is amazing almond and pecan brittle at the Saturday Farmers Market in SF at the Ferry Building. Chocolate is optional. Expensive, but excellent.

Don't forget: exotic salt (grey, pink, black....)

Oh and of course name dropping on the sugar and peanuts.
