Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white Karo syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter (cubed)
1 1/2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Line a 10x15 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place sugar, syrup, and water in a 2 quart with candy thermometer attached and bring to a boil over medium heat. Slowly stir in the butter a little at a time. Let mixture boil, stirring occasionally.
  • When mixture reaches 250 degrees (when you drop a little of it into cold water it forms pliable strands), add the peanuts. Stir constantly for 7-10 more minutes until mixture reaches 300 degrees (when dropped in water it forms brittle strands). Immediately remove from heat, add the vanilla and baking soda, and stir until evenly combined. Pour onto parchment lined baking sheet and spread evenly.
  • Let cool and set. Use a mallet or back of a spoon to crack the brittle into pieces.

EXCELLENT PEANUT BRITTLE



Excellent Peanut Brittle image

I went to a Holiday craft show four years ago. A very cute and sweet grandma was selling her peanut brittle and it was selling fast! She told me that if I wanted some I had better get it now! After buying a package and sampled it I fell in love! "It was just perfect". I asked her for the recipe and she wasn't shy about giving it...

Break this salted peanut brittle into shards to decorate puds or give as a gift to a foodie friend. It will keep for several weeks in an airtight container

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 7m

Yield Makes 300g

Number Of Ingredients 3

200g caster sugar
100g roasted peanuts
1 tsp sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Melt the sugar in a medium frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins until caramelised - it should be a dark amber colour. Don't stir, as this causes the sugar to crystallise - instead, tilt the pan slowly so the sugar melts evenly.
  • Add the peanuts, stir with a wooden spoon, then quickly and carefully tip onto the prepared tray. Immediately sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and leave to cool until set. Will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.
