A Classic Candy
This easy peanut brittle recipe is one of our FAVORITE homemade candies! It’s been grandpa’s favorite for as long as we can remember and now a favorite of our own. We LOVE the crunchy texture and sweet and salty flavor of this classic old-fashioned treat! We make this a couple of times a year, especially at Christmas to gift to friends and neighbors (and so we can munch on it). It is actually a really simple candy. There are few ingredients, simple steps, and less than 30 minutes of actual work!! For more crunchy favorites try our famous Toffee Recipe and Christmas Crack Recipe.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
COOL TIME: 30 minutes
1 cup white sugar ½ cup light corn syrup ¼ cup water 1 cup peanuts (no skin) – Blanched peanuts are skinless. If using unroasted peanuts, add them to the mixture when melting the sugar, corn syrup, and water. This way they’ll cook and soften. Salted peanuts work too. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – Cutting the butter into cubes first helps it melt better. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt – omit if using salted butter 1 teaspoon baking soda
