Peanut Brittle

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup light corn syrup

• ¼ cup water

• 1 cup chopped peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking soda

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

2. Cook Sugar Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

3. Boil Without Stirring: Once boiling, stop stirring and let it cook until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer (~10–15 mins).

4. Add Peanuts & Butter: Stir in chopped peanuts and butter, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.

5. Finish with Baking Soda: Remove from heat, quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda (this makes it light and airy).

6. Spread & Cool: Pour onto the prepared sheet, spreading thinly. Let cool completely (~30 mins), then break into pieces.
