Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This brittle is almost as easy to make as it is to enjoy, with sugar and peanuts coming together in a sweet symphony of simplicity. The only tough part is waiting for it to cool.

ingredients
3 cups white sugar
2 cups regular or Spanish peanuts
directions
Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
Heat a very heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring slowly but constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and turns a light caramel color.
Stir in the peanuts and immediately pour the candy mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread the brittle out with a greased spatula if necessary.
Let the brittle cool completely then break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Getting the sugar just right takes a little practice and constant watching but the recipe is quite good. I sprinkle the warm brittle with a little fleur de sel.
