Description

This recipe won a blue ribbon for me at the county fair and I have sold many pounds of it! Lots of people have told me that its the best, even better than the famous candy stores peanut brittle. It is a buttery, rich and melt in your mouth delight that I found in a newspaper years ago. Please use a heavy light colored saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon. Dark pans make the candy too dark. After adding the baking soda the mixture will be GREY and ugly but never fear it turns beautiful as you spread it in the buttered pan. Hope you make it!

Ingredients

  • 2 c sugar
  • 1 c corn syrup, light
  • 1/2 c water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 c red skin raw Spanish peanuts with skins on
  • 2 Tbsp butter (and extra for baking sheet)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking soda

Directions

  • 1Heat sugar, syrup, water, and salt to a rolling boil in a HEAVY 2-quart saucepan. 2Add peanuts. Reduce heat to low-medium and stir constantly. Cook to hard crack stage (293 degrees F.) 3Add butter and vanilla, then baking soda. Beat rapidly. 4Pour into a large well-buttered baking sheet, spreading to 1/4 in. thickness. 5When cool break into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 2 pounds. Cook time varies please be patient!
