EASY Peanut Brittle
I began an internet search one day looking for an easy Peanut Brittle recipe to make for the holidays, that didn’t require the use of corn syrup. After quite a bit of searching I finally found one, and it only takes three simple ingredients. That’s right, just three! I thought it surely wouldn’t work, but decided to give it a try with a small batch. Rich, crunchy peanut brittle was the result. If your a peanut brittle fan, this recipe is a definite must try.
EASY Peanut Brittle
Ingredients
- Butter for greasing baking pan
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups roasted peanuts, salted or unsalted, or other nuts
Directions
- Use a bit of butter to grease a baking sheet well, preferably one with a low rim.
- Combine sugar and water in a heavy skillet that has been rubbed with butter, on bottom and sides to the top and turn heat to high. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until mixture starts to boil. Stop stirring, cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes. Remove lid. Do Not Stir!
- Reduce heat to medium and cook till syrup is a light amber color, or until a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees.
- Stir in the peanuts.
- Working quickly, pour mixture onto greased baking sheet and spread out thin with a buttered spatula.
- Cool completely then break into pieces.
- Store in a covered container for up to two weeks.
