Soft Peanut Brittle Food

PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine peanuts, cinnamon, and cayenne. Set aside.
• Brush the inside of a medium sized heavy saucepan with vegetable oil. Add the sugar and water to the saucepan, cook over high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it comes to a boil. Stop stirring, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the sugar is a light amber color. Stir in peanuts. This will greatly reduce the temperature of the sugar so work quickly. Once evenly mixed, pour mixture onto a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or buttered parchment paper. Using a buttered spatula, spread thin. You will have to work quickly when pouring out and spreading the mixture in the pan. If necessary, in order to achieve single layer of peanuts, top with second sheet pan whose underside has been buttered. Cool completely and then break into pieces.

PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a baking tray with parchment and grease the parchment with butter.
• Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepot and bring up to a boil over high heat. Without stirring, cook sugar until it reaches "hard crack", about 300 degrees F. on a candy thermometer, brushing the sides of the pot occasionally with cool water. This will take about 7 to 9 minutes, and it will turn a deep amber colour.
• Remove from heat and stir in salt and peanuts with a wooden spoon. Stir in butter, vanilla and baking soda - it will immediately get foamy. Working quickly, spread nut brittle onto prepared baking sheet. Allow to set completely before cracking into pieces.

EASY SOFT PEANUT BRITTLE RECIPE

Steps:

• First, place parchment paper on a large rimmed baking sheet and set it aside.
• To a large saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot. Bring the syrup mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often until sugar is dissolved. Boil until it reaches 235 degrees F when the candy starts to enter the soft ball stage.
• Add the butter and peanuts to the pan. Continue to cook, constantly stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees F, the hard crack stage.
• When the candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees, remove the pot from heat. Quickly add in the vanilla extract and baking soda and stir to combine. The baking soda will cause it to start to foam. Pour candy mixture, while still foaming, onto the baking sheet. For an optional treat, sprinkle sea salt on top.
• The last step is to let the cookie sheet cool, then break the peanut brittle into bite-size portions. When the candy cools, enjoy!

• Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Melt the sugar in a medium frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins until caramelised - it should be a dark amber colour. Don't stir, as this causes the sugar to crystallise - instead, tilt the pan slowly so the sugar melts evenly.
