Watching a soccer match can bring out many emotions into fruition, and frustration is one of them. When you feel you don't have control of the game, or you can't be the one kicking in that winning goal, frustration sets in and shouting at the television set might begin. To tame that wild frustration beast, I like to prepare something crunchy and sweet for my family. This palanqueta de cacahuate or peanut brittle always does the trick at game time and keeps every member of my team very content.
