Grandma's Buttery Peanut Brittle image

When I was a little girl, I would have fun with my grandmother making holiday treats for my uncle who was in the Navy. This recipe was always on our 'candy list' to make. She taught me over the years, how it is with patience and an iron skillet* you can get that perfect golden color & crunch. It will melt in your mouth with...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c sugar
1 c karo syrup
1/2 c water
2 c raw spanish peanuts
2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare 1/2 sheet cake pan by buttering it thoroughly. In a small dish stir together the baking soda, vanilla, and butter. Set aside for later use.
  • 2. Combine sugar, syrup, and water into an iron skillet. Heat mixture over medium high heat while stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to boil. Continue cooking while stirring occasionally, until the candy thermometer reaches 295 F (approximately 30 minutes). The time will vary depending on humidity, altitude, etc. This is where patience comes into the mix! *
  • 3. Immediately add the peanuts and continue stirring. You have to be quick at this point so the peanuts do not burn! When the thermometer reaches 305 F pour the baking soda mixture into the skillet and stir once or twice. Immediately pour the mixture onto the baking sheet. When the mixture is completely cool, slightly twist the pan to loosen the brittle. Then snap into bite size pieces and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature.
  • Don't stir the sugar syrup while it's cooking: This will cause the sugar to crystallize and the candy will not be smooth.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup: If the syrup gets too hot, it will burn and the candy will be bitter.
  • Work quickly when adding the peanuts and butter: The candy will start to set quickly, so it's important to work quickly to get it all mixed in.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will help to prevent the candy from sticking to your hands.

Conclusion:

Buttery peanut brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of this classic candy that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
