Tips:
- Use a large saucepan or Dutch oven to make the peanut brittle, as it will bubble up and expand.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. If it is not hot enough, the peanut brittle will be too soft, and if it is too hot, it will be too hard.
- Stir the sugar syrup constantly to prevent it from crystallizing.
- Add the peanuts to the sugar syrup once it has reached the correct temperature. Stir until the peanuts are evenly coated.
- Pour the peanut brittle mixture onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely.
- Break the peanut brittle into pieces once it has cooled.
