Peanut brittle recipe

Here’s a classic peanut brittle recipe that’s both delicious and easy to make: Peanut Brittle Ingredients: 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cups granulated sugar 1 cup water 1 cup light corn syrup 3 tablespoons butter 1 pound shelled unroasted peanuts Instructions: Prepare the Baking Soda Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the baking soda, 1 teaspoon of water, and vanilla extract. Set aside. Cook the Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, 1 cup of water, and light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Add the Peanuts: Stir in the peanuts and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage). This will take about 10-15 minutes. Add the Butter and Baking Soda Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the butter and the baking soda mixture. The mixture will foam up. Pour and Spread: Quickly pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cool and Break: Allow the brittle to cool completely, then break it into pieces. Enjoy your homemade peanut brittle! It’s perfect for snacking or as a gift.
