It is an amorphous solid. The sugar in peanut brittle is melted and then is cooled too fast for the crystalline structure to properly reform, making it irregular.
It is not recommended to freeze peanut brittle as the moisture from condensation can make it sticky and affect its texture. It is best to store peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its freshness and crunchiness.
It's a peanut spread that's the color and texture of peanut brittle.
I "saved" a batch of microwave peanut brittle that never got hard. I scraped it into a pan and melted it back down and boiled until the hard candy stage (by candy thermometer or dropping some in water - it should turn brittle and hard). When it was at the hard candy stage, I took it off the burner, stirred in some baking soda and spread it in the greased baking sheet to cool. It brittled up just right!
