SLOW COOKER PEANUT 'BRITTLE' CANDY RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by Susan52
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- I used my 6 quart Smart Set crockpot for this. I like the Smart Set because I can set it for 30 minute intervals and it will beep for me when the 30 minutes is done. And I seem to need the beeps, because I tend to wander off if I find something shiny. Drop the 4 tablespoons of butter into your crockpot. Add the sugar and the corn syrup on top of the butter. Pour in the vanilla. Cover your crockpot and turn to high for one hour. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or release foil. After an hour, stir well to mix everything around. Add the baking soda. It will sizzle and make fun noises. Your sugar mixture will be kind of milky-yellow and the sugar might still look granulated. Cover again and cook on high for another 30 minutes. Check and stir in nuts. Cover and cook again for another 15-30 minutes, or until the sugar mixture is brown and looks the color of peanut brittle. Or a payday candy bar. Then, USING OVEN MITTS, carefully (CAREFULLY! seriously---use the oven mitts) pour half of the pot onto each cookie sheet and spread out with a spatula. It will be lumpy. that's because there are nuts. Let cool at room temperature for about an hour, then tear into pieces.
SLOW COOKER PEANUT 'NOT BRITTLE' CANDY
I got this from Stephanie from A Year of Slow Cooking. I made some really good candy the other day,with all of the ingredients you would use to make peanut brittle. But the crockpot doesn't really get hot enough to make peanut brittle,so you get this awesome chewy fudgey peanut wonderfulness which is a lot like a Payday candy...

Tips:
- Choose the right slow cooker: For candy making, a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker is ideal. Make sure the slow cooker has a tight-fitting lid to prevent evaporation.
- Prepare your ingredients carefully: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you avoid mistakes and ensure that your candy turns out perfectly.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making candy in a slow cooker. It will help you ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature, which is critical for achieving the desired consistency.
- Stir the candy regularly: Stirring the candy regularly will help prevent it from burning and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Be patient: Making candy in a slow cooker takes time. Don't rush the process, or you may end up with undercooked candy.
Conclusion:
Making candy in a slow cooker is a great way to save time and energy. With a little planning and preparation, you can create delicious and professional-looking candies right in your own kitchen. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, try making candy in your slow cooker. You won't be disappointed.
