PEANUT BRITTLE
Every time the holidays roll around, I get a craving for my Nana’s melt in your mouth peanut brittle. It is a simple and delicious treat, and I am so honored to have her recipe.
PEANUT BRITTLE
1 cup Peanuts (unroasted)
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup White Corn Syrup
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Butter
1 teaspoon Canilla
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Sir together peanuts, sugar, syrup and salt in a 1 1/2 quart glass bowl. Microwave 4 minutes, stir and then cook for 3-4 minutes longer. Add butter and vanilla. Return to microwave and cook 1-2 more minutes. Peanuts will be lightly browned and syrup very hot. Add soda and gently stir until light and foamy. Pour onto greased baking sheet. Allow to cool and then break into desired pieces. Enjoy!
Peanut brittle would also make a unique and special favor for a fall or winter wedding, not to mention it’s perfect on a dessert bar!
Cheers!
