CRESCENT BRITTLE BARS

Category: Bars

1 (8 oz) can crescent rolls
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 cup salted peanuts
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup thawed frozen orange juice concentrate

Preheat to 375. Separate dough into 2 long rectangles and place on an ungreased jelly roll pan. Press over bottom and up sides about 1/4 inch to form a crust. Sprinkle peanuts and coconut evenly on crust.

Combine butter, both sugars, and orange juice concentrate in a saucepan. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle mixture over coconut and peanuts. Bake for 10 minutes at 375. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake for 8 to 10 more minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack, cut into bars and allow to cool completely. Store loosely covered for crispy bars. Makes 48 bars.
