The Best Peanut Brittle image

You can substitute pumpkin seeds or any other kind of nut for the peanuts if you so choose. You must pre-measure and prepare ingredients ahead of time. You do not have time to measure while cooking the candy. I like to use a digital thermometer with an alarm. I set the alarm to go off at 300 degrees so that I know for sure...

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c white sugar
1/2 c light corn syrup
1/4 c water
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c peanuts
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Grease large cookie sheet. Set aside. Or use an ungreased cookie sheet and a silicone mat.
  • 2. In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • 3. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking.
  • 4. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees F or until a small amount of the mixture dropped into very old water separates into hard and brittle threads.
  • 5. Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter and baking soda; pour at once onto the cookie sheet. With 2 forks, lift and pull the peanut mixture into a rectangle about 14x12 inches.
