Line two a large baking sheet with parchment paper, measure out two cups of peanuts and a teaspoon of baking soda. Combine the sugar, water, salt, and corn syrup in a medium-sized pot then stir to combine and place over medium high heat. Clip your candy thermometer in so it does not touch the bottom the bottom of the pot.

Allow to the mixture to come to a boil while stirring occasionally then add the butter and continue stirring.

Once the mixture reaches 280F, add the peanuts in while stirring constantly until the thermometer reads 305F.

My Grandma&#x27;s old-fashioned Peanut Brittle recipe is so easy to make on the stovetop with just six simple ingredients and roasted peanuts.

butter

soda

vanilla

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Measure out peanuts, butter, baking soda and vanilla and have them ready.

Add sugar, and water to a medium saucepan and stir well. Stir in corn syrup. Cook mixture over medium heat (don’t be tempted to turn the heat up!), stirring occasionally, until it comes to a gentle boil.

Attach your candy thermometer to the edge of the pot, and make sure it is submerged in the liquid, but not touching the bottom of the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally until temperature reaches 250°F (121°C).

Add the peanuts and stir the mixture constantly until the candy thermometer temperature reaches 300 degrees F.

Remove mixture from heat and immediately stir in butter, baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will foam and change texture.

Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the prepared pan and use a knife or spoon to quickly (and carefully!) spread the mixture into an even layer.

Allow to cool completely (at least 30 minute) before breaking apart and eating.

Store the completely cooled peanut brittle in an airtight container.
