Step by Step Method

Step 1

Line two 15x10x1-in. pans with foil. Melt 1 tablespoon butter; brush over foil. Sprinkle evenly with jelly beans.

Step 2

In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. using a pastry brush dipped in water, wash down the sides of the pan to eliminate sugar crystals. Cook, without stirring, over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 240° (soft-ball stage). Stir in remaining butter and salt; cook until a thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage), stirring frequently.

Step 3

Remove from heat; stir in baking soda (mixture will foam). Immediately pour over jelly beans. Spread with a buttered metal spatula. Cool completely.

Step 4

Break brittle into pieces. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. Yield: 2-1/2 pounds.

Tips


  • Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
