Peanut Brittle

Candy Recipes

Yield: 10x12-inch sheet

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups raw peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda

Line a 10x12-inch cookie sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. In a heavy pot, mix together the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the peanuts. Cook, stirring often, until the peanuts smell parched, about 15 minutes. Add the baking soda and stir quickly. The mixture will foam, then turn a golden color. Quickly pour on the foil-lined cookie sheet. When cool, break into pieces.

Loved it, just loved it. – Reviewed by Byren Conforti

After making another recipe [microwave], which turned out to be a big disaster, I used your recipe. My husband said best brittle he's ever eaten. But I did use butter. – Reviewed by JEANNE BORN
