Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup butter (cubed)
- 1 ½ cups unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Steps
-
Line a 15 X 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Place 1 cup sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water in a 2-quart pot with a candy thermometer attached and bring to a boil over medium heat. Slowly stir in ½ cup butter a little at a time. Let the mixture boil, stirring occasionally.
-
When the sugar mixture reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit, or when you drop a little of it into cold water it forms pliable strands, add in 1 ½ cups unsalted roasted peanuts. Stir constantly for 7-10 more minutes until the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, or when dropped in water it forms brittle strands. Immediately remove from heat, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon baking soda, and stir until evenly combined. Pour the brittle onto the baking sheet and spread evenly.
-
Let cool and set. Use a mallet or the back of a spoon to crack the brittle into pieces.
