Peanut Brittle Recipe
My husband loves peanut brittle… it’s his favorite kind of candy. I don’t make it very often, but since we’re getting into the Holiday spirit, I thought why not whip up a batch. It’s easy to make, and tastes so much better homemade. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
This would also make a cute gift. Make up a couple of batches and put the broken off pieces of brittle into small Christmas Tins. Perfect gift for neighbors, teachers and the likes.
- 1 1/2 C. Salted Peanuts
- 2 3/4 C. Sugar
- 2/3 C. Water
- 1/2 Stick Unsalted Butter
- Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by lining it with foil and greasing the foil.
- In a medium sized saucepan, mix the butter, sugar and water. Heat for approximately 25 minutes over medium heat until the mixture becomes a thick golden-brown syrup; stir often.
- Slowly, mix the peanuts in with the mixture until all are completely covered with the syrup.
- Pour the peanut mixture into the baking dish and spread it out evenly, preferably in one layer.
- Let the peanuts sit until thoroughly cooled. Then, break into medium sized pieces and place in an airtight container.
