Davenport Hotel Peanut Brittle

** UPDATE: I sent some of this to my mother for her birthday, and my father ate most of it. Then they asked me for the recipe, which is a testament to just how awesome this is!**

"The Davenport Hotel was built in Spokane, WA in 1914 and it was the first hotel in the United States with air conditioning, a central vaccuum system, pipe organ, and dividing doors in the ballrooms. It is also the place at which the first Crab Louis (named after Louis Davenport) was created and served. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places."  It was refurbished in 2002 by Walt Worthy, the guy who bought my grandparents' land on 5 Mile and developed it into huge homes. It's quite beautiful:
 
 Here's what their packaging looks like.


Their peanut brittle is renowned, but this lady claimed to have a knock-off recipe. 
So I thought I'd give it a try.
