Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c white sugar
1/2 c light corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c water
1 c peanuts (used Spanish)
2 T butter, softened
1 tsp baking soda
our additions: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
sprinkle of Maldon sea salt

Steps:

  • Place sheet pan in a just warm oven and cover with parchment paper. Helps spread the candy and prevents setting too quickly. In a heavy 2 qt saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, cayenne and water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees. Remove from heat, immediately stir in butter and baking soda, pour at once onto prepared baking sheet. Using a silicone spatula sprayed lightly with Pam spread the candy to desired thickness (approx 14x12"), then immediately sprinkle with the Maldon salt. Cool and break into pieces.

I'm allergic to peanuts, but I can still enjoy this peanut brittle because it's made with sunflower seeds.
