It&#8217;s an easy recipe to master, so long as you follow the instructions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s review what you&#8217;ll need: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peanuts: <\/strong>I typically use lightly roasted and salted peanuts in this recipe. If you only have unsalted peanuts on hand, simply add 1\/4 teaspoon of salt to the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda: <\/strong>The baking soda reacts with the mixture, causing it to foam up and create lots of air bubbles. This gives the brittle a softer texture so that it doesn\u2019t break your teeth when you bite down into it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar and Corn Syrup: <\/strong>I prefer using a mixture of granulated sugar and corn syrup to sweeten my brittle. The corn syrup prevents the sugar from crystallizing and seizing up in the saucepan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>You&#8217;ll want to use unsalted butter that&#8217;s been softened to room temperature. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract: <\/strong>There&#8217;s 2 teaspoons added to the brittle mixture to infuse the hard candy with vanilla flavor. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"50647\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-2.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan. \" class=\"wp-image-50647\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"50653\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of peanuts being mixed into a cooked brittle mixture in a saucepan. \" class=\"wp-image-50653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Peanut-Brittle-Being-Cooked.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Peanut Brittle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making peanut brittle candy on the stove is very easy, but you <em>must <\/em>use a <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+abC9S3IBeoKweYrRC2phKQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">candy thermometer<\/a> for this recipe.
