Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cup light corn syrup
  • ¾ cups water
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups Spanish peanuts

Instruction

  • Lightly coat 3 baking sheets with oil.
  • Combine sugar, syrup, and water in a large deep kettle. Bring to a boil stirring to make sure all the sugars melt and nothing sticks to the bottom.
  • When the mixture reaches 260°F add butter, peanuts and continue stirring and cooking until the thermometer reaches 310°F
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla and soda. Stir very quickly as the mixture will become very foamy.
  • Immediately pour the mixture out onto the baking sheets.
  • After the brittle has hardened, break into a few large pieces. Put the brittle into large plastic bags so the shards don’t go flying all over the kitchen when breaking them up into smaller bite-sized pieces.
  • Store brittle in sealed jar, can or plastic bag.
