from Food and Wine, their best peanut brittle recipe! Make ahead too. I like recipes like this as I find a good nut brittle is hard to find!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- 1 stick unsalted butter shopping list
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 12 ounces roasted salted peanuts, cashews, pistachios and/or pecans shopping list
- Fleur de sel or crushed Maldon sea salt shopping list
How to make it
- Prep does not include cooling of recipe
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter and corn syrup and bring to a boil.
- Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the caramel is light brown and registers 300° on a candy thermometer, 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the baking soda. The mixture will bubble.
- Stir in the nuts, then immediately scrape the brittle onto a large rimmed, nonstick baking sheet.
- Using the back of a large spoon (oil it lightly if it sticks), spread the brittle into a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle with salt. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Break the brittle into large shards.
- Make Ahead The brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month
