Description

Making candy doesn’t have to be complicated: my grandma’s recipe for peanut brittle is easy to follow and makes the best peanut brittle you’ve ever had!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Water
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • 1 cup White Corn Syrup
  • 2 cups Raw Peanuts
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preparation

1. Bring the water to boil. Add sugar and white syrup.
2. Add raw peanuts and cook slowly over low heat until hard crack stage (300°-310ºF), stirring constantly.
3. Remove from heat and add butter, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Stir quickly.
4. Spread on large, well-buttered cookies sheet. Place in refrigerator until completely hardened and shiny. Use a knife to break up the pieces of peanut brittle into shards; it should crack easily.

What size cookie sheet is large? Maybe a 13×9 size?
