Description
Here’s another amazing, old fashioned recipe from dear Adeline. Crunchy and sweet – the BEST brittle!
Ingredients
Scale
1 Cup Karo Syrup
2 Cups White Sugar
1/2 Cup Water
12 oz Raw Peanuts
2 TBS Butter
2 tsp Vanilla
2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
Combine Syrup, Sugar & water in large saucepan.
Using a candy thermometer, bring mixture to “hard ball stage” (250-265 degrees F).
Add peanuts and continue to cook until mixture reaches “Crack Stage” (300-310 degrees F).
Remove from heat. Add butter, vanilla, soda and salt. Stir until blended. (This will bubble up a lot when you add the soda/salt.)
Pour into a well buttered 9X13 pan.
When cool break into pieces.
