How to Make Classic Southern Peanut Brittle

Making Peanut Brittle is very easy and you don't need a candy thermometer. When it smells like caramel, it's done cooking. This recipe will make a small batch, but you can double the recipe if needed. I hope you'll make and enjoy this Classic Southern Peanut Brittle as much as I do. It is also a great gift idea for Christmas or anytime of the year!!

Peanut Brittle Recipe:
2 Cups Raw Spanish Peanuts
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Corn Syrup
1/4 Cup Water
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Prior to beginning the cook, grease a cookie sheet pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Heat the peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and water in a heavy bottom pot over medium high heat. Stir mixture frequently while cooking. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture turns a caramel color or when it begins to smell like caramel. Turn off the heat and add the baking soda and vanilla. Stir in very well and quickly pour mixture onto a greased cookie sheet pan. Let cool for 1 hour or longer before breaking the brittle into pieces. Enjoy!!
