There are 110 calories in peanut brittle, 2.5 grams fat, 20 grams carbohydrates, and one gram protein in a single serving.

When I tasted this, it is very sweet. And although it’s a hard candy, it’s fairly easy to crunch. The consistency is similar to toffee rather than a Jolly Rancher or Life Saver.
