Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup Sugar

1/3 cup Light Corn Syrup

1/2 cup Water

1 cup Peanuts -- (can substitute any nuts)

2 Tbsp Butter

1 Tsp Vanilla

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Baking Soda

 

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray lightly for easy release, set

aside.

 

Put water, sugar, and corn syrup in a pot and heat over medium heat till sugar

dissolves, do not stir. Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Boil till

the mixture comes to 260F on a candy thermometer.

 

If you do not have a candy thermometer boil till it just starts to turn color.

 

Reduce heat to medium, and add the nuts and butter to the mixture and stirring

constantly, cooking them until the thermometer reaches 295F. Remove from heat

and add the vanilla, salt, and baking soda, stirring constantly until well

incorporated. The mixture will foam up a little bit.

 

Immediately pour the mixture on the sprayed parchment paper and spread into

a thin layer. Let cool completely until cold and hard.

 

When the brittle is completely cooled and hard, break into small pieces and

store in air tight containers at room temperature. The brittle will hold for one

month.

 

For gift giving put several pieces in a small plastic bag and tie with a ribbon.

 

Store in an air tight container and give as a gift within the month.
