Ingredients For peanut brittle

  • 1 1/2 c
    sugar
  • 3/4 c
    light corn syrup
  • 1 1/4 c
    raw peanuts

How To Make peanut brittle

  • 1
    Combine the sugar and syrup in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes to wash down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan.
  • 2
    Add the peanuts; cook, stirring occasionally until hard-crack stage (300º F). Remove from heat and stir in butter and baking soda.
  • 3
    Pour onto a buttered baking sheet, spreading thin. Cook and break into pieces. Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container.
