This is a recipe I got a couple years back from Sandra Lee on Food Network. I use it every year and we love it. I use a 1000 watt microwave--if yours is slower or faster, adjust time.

QUICK PEANUT BRITTLE

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 9

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking sheet
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Vegetable oil, for spatula

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet; set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
  • Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer (238 degrees to 240 degrees), swirling pan occasionally; wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystals from forming. Stir in nuts, and continue cooking, stirring frequently to prevent nuts from burning, until mixture is light amber.
  • Remove pan from heat; carefully stir in vanilla and baking soda (mixture will foam up in pan). Pour onto prepared baking sheet; quickly spread into a 1/2-inch-thick layer with an oiled metal spatula. Let stand until completely cool.
  • Break brittle into large pieces.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning.
  • Stir the mixture constantly to prevent crystallization.
  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the mixture.
  • Do not overcook the mixture, or it will become hard and brittle.
  • Immediately pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  • Break the brittle into pieces while it is still warm.
  • Store the brittle in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  • Enjoy the brittle within 2 weeks for the best flavor.

Two-minute peanut brittle is a quick and easy recipe that yields delicious and addictive results.
