Old Fashion Peanut Brittle Candy
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 cup salted peanuts (without skins)
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
|
Stir together white sugar and corn syrup in 2-quart bowl, microwave on High for 4 minutes.
Add 1 cup salted peanuts (without skins) unsalted is also fine. Stir well, microwave on
High for 4 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir well. Microwave on
High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir gently until light and
foamy. Pour mixture at once onto buttered cookie sheet, cool 1/2 to 1 hour.
HINTS A 2-quart pitcher is very easy to handle for the peanut
brittle, as you do not have to tough the bowl at all with a handle. A bowl will become
very hot. If you use a wooden spoon you may leave it in the bowl or pitcher while cooking
for easier stirring. use a Pyrex two-quart pitcher for both of these recipes.
