Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar (white)
- 1/2 cup corn syrup (I used no-name brand dark corn syrup and it worked wonderful!)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups peanuts (salted)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
How to Make
-
Step 1: Before starting to make the brittle, generously brush a non-stick cooking/baking sheet with melted butter or margarine.
-
Step 2: In a plastic microwave-safe 2 litre bowl mix the white sugar, corn syrup and salt together; microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes (removing to stir halfway through). Remove add in peanuts and stir well; return to microwave for 4 minutes.
-
Step 3: Remove and stir in butter and vanilla until combined; place back in microwave for 1 minute; quickly stir in baking soda until thoroughly combined.
-
Step 4: Quickly pour onto buttered baking sheet - DO not stir this will cause bubbles, instead move the pan to level the brittle to a semi-thin layer.
-
Step 5: When cool, break into pieces.
-
Step 6: TIP: Soak the bowl and spoon in very hot water to clean
