Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings; makes about 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups roasted salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stir together the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy/deep-fry thermometer. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue to boil until it's golden brown and it reaches 340 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
  • Working quickly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble up). Stir in the peanuts until evenly distributed amongst the sugar mixture.
  • Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth with a rubber spatula into a thin and even layer. Let harden uncovered at room temperature until cooled completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

QUICK PEANUT BRITTLE

Break this salted peanut brittle into shards to decorate puds or give as a gift to a foodie friend. It will keep for several weeks in an airtight container

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 7m

Yield Makes 300g

Number Of Ingredients 3

200g caster sugar
100g roasted peanuts
1 tsp sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Melt the sugar in a medium frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins until caramelised - it should be a dark amber colour. Don't stir, as this causes the sugar to crystallise - instead, tilt the pan slowly so the sugar melts evenly.
  • Add the peanuts, stir with a wooden spoon, then quickly and carefully tip onto the prepared tray. Immediately sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and leave to cool until set. Will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan. 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 reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be patient. Making peanut brittle takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a sticky mess.
  • Don't stir the sugar while it's cooking. Stirring will cause the sugar to crystallize and result in a grainy texture.
  • Work quickly when the sugar reaches the correct temperature. The sugar will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to add the peanuts and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the brittle onto a greased baking sheet. This will help to prevent the brittle from sticking.
  • Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent the brittle from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Lactose-free peanut brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of peanut brittle that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for?
