Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup (or ¾ cup honey)
  • 2 cups raw, unsalted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is clear.
  • Add the raw peanuts when the mixture is at 280°F (soft crack). Stir until the temperature reaches 300°F (hard crack) and the sugar turns amber.
  • Remove from heat and stir in butter, baking soda, and vanilla. Pour onto a baking sheet and spread thin. Sprinkle sea salt and let cool.
  • Break cooled brittle into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

• Use whole peanuts for a clean look.
• Skip extra sea salt if using salted peanuts.
• Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
