Home made Peanut Brittle recipe

Sure! Here’s a simple homemade peanut brittle recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup unsalted peanuts
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
3. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the peanuts to the saucepan. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
4. Once the mixture reaches 300°F, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the butter, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up when you add the baking soda.
5. Immediately pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer.
6. Allow the peanut brittle to cool completely at room temperature until it hardens, which should take about 30-60 minutes.
7. Once cooled, break the peanut brittle into pieces using your hands or a knife.
8. Store the peanut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
