You'll want to make this next holiday season. Or before New Years. Or heck, when you get a craving for some good ol' peanut brittle.
I left the container at my parents house. My dad can't stay out of it.
Yep, it's that good.
And super easy.
And, it doesn't stick to your teeth.
For this delicious concoction, you'll need:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanuts (or more, if your heart desires. We add another 1/2 c to ours.)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
*candy thermometer, if you have one. If not, you can do the "crack" stage when dropped into water.
Bring sugar, water, corn syrup and salt to a boil over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Stir frequently until temp is 300*F, or until dropped in water and is brittle threads.
Remove from heat. Add baking soda and butter. Stir until butter is melted then pour immediately onto a pan lined with parchment paper.
Be sure when you pour into the pan that you don't pour it all in one spot. Shake the pan to help it level out. (You can also use forks to spread the brittle, but I found doing that eliminated some of the bubbles and it wasn't as pretty.)
Cool. Break into pieces and store in air tight container.
