SLOW COOKER PEANUT 'BRITTLE' CANDY RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by Susan52
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- I used my 6 quart Smart Set crockpot for this. I like the Smart Set because I can set it for 30 minute intervals and it will beep for me when the 30 minutes is done. And I seem to need the beeps, because I tend to wander off if I find something shiny. Drop the 4 tablespoons of butter into your crockpot. Add the sugar and the corn syrup on top of the butter. Pour in the vanilla. Cover your crockpot and turn to high for one hour. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or release foil. After an hour, stir well to mix everything around. Add the baking soda. It will sizzle and make fun noises. Your sugar mixture will be kind of milky-yellow and the sugar might still look granulated. Cover again and cook on high for another 30 minutes. Check and stir in nuts. Cover and cook again for another 15-30 minutes, or until the sugar mixture is brown and looks the color of peanut brittle. Or a payday candy bar. Then, USING OVEN MITTS, carefully (CAREFULLY! seriously---use the oven mitts) pour half of the pot onto each cookie sheet and spread out with a spatula. It will be lumpy. that's because there are nuts. Let cool at room temperature for about an hour, then tear into pieces.
SLOW COOKER PEANUT 'NOT BRITTLE' CANDY
I got this from Stephanie from A Year of Slow Cooking. I made some really good candy the other day,with all of the ingredients you would use to make peanut brittle. But the crockpot doesn't really get hot enough to make peanut brittle,so you get this awesome chewy fudgey peanut wonderfulness which is a lot like a Payday candy...

Tips:
- Use fresh, raw peanuts. Roasted or salted peanuts will not work well in this recipe.
- Cook the sugar mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage. This is about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard, brittle ball, it is ready.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the peanuts in a thin stream. This will help to prevent the peanuts from clumping together.
- Spread the peanut brittle out on a greased baking sheet. This will help it to cool evenly.
- Break the peanut brittle into pieces once it has cooled. You can use a hammer, a knife, or your hands to do this.
- Store the peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
