Peanut Brittle Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Butter a large baking tray; set aside.
  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, syrup, water, and butter. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar.
  • (Try to avoid splashing mixture onto side of the pan.)
  • Boil for 3 minutes.
  • Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, to 114 - 118°C (238 - 245°F) on sugar thermometer, soft-ball stage. The sugar mixture will form a soft ball which can be squashed flat.
  • Add the nuts.
  • Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, to 300° on sugar thermometer, hard-crack stage (10 to 15 minutes). Be careful that the mixture does not burn. Remove the pan from heat.
  • Quickly stir in vanilla and baking powder into the hot mixture, stirring constantly until light and foamy. Immediately pour and spread mixture onto the baking sheet.
  • With 2 forks, lift and pull into a rectangle.
  • Pull gently to avoid tearing.
  • Cool completely on wire rack.
  • Break into pieces.
