Categories     dessert

Time 46m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups lightly toasted and crushed nuts (I used macadamia, pine, and corn nuts, but try any nut you like)

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy bottomed pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved. Turn the heat up to high and cook until the bubbles get smaller and the mixture turns a light amber color, about 10 minutes. Stir in the nuts and cook for 1 more minute. Quickly pour the mixture onto a baking pan lined with a silicone baking sheet (or buttered parchment paper) and spread it out evenly with a spatula or wooden spoon. The mixture cools quickly so work fast. Let cool and break into pieces.

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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking sheet
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup

Wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent any crystals from forming. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer (238 degrees).

Set aside until completely cool. Break into pieces to serve. Brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.
