- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace:
- Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Also, have a heatproof spatula ready.
- Cook the Sugar Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C), or the "hard crack" stage.
- Add the Peanuts:
- Once the sugar mixture reaches 300°F, quickly stir in the peanuts. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the peanuts are golden and fragrant.
- Finish the Brittle:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
- Quickly add the baking soda and stir until the mixture becomes light and foamy.
- Spread the Brittle:
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the spatula to spread it out into an even layer.
- Let the brittle cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Break into Pieces:
- Once cooled, break the brittle into pieces and enjoy.
