Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings; makes about 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups roasted salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stir together the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy/deep-fry thermometer. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue to boil until it's golden brown and it reaches 340 degrees F, about 15 minutes.

  • Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth with a rubber spatula into a thin and even layer. Let harden uncovered at room temperature until cooled completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOFFEE VS. BRITTLE?
But, the slight differences are easy to point out. Brittles are typically composed mostly of sugar, while toffees contain a fair amount of butter and in some cases milk. This makes toffees fuller and richer in taste, while brittles are more purely sweet and sugary. Brittles are also much thinner than most toffees.
