Ingredients
Instructions
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Place the sugar, corn syrup, salt and water in a large, deep pan. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 6 to 7 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
Add the butter to the pan.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until a candy thermometer registers 280 degrees F.
Add the peanuts to the pot, then cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring constantly, or until a candy thermometer registers 305 degrees F.
Remove the pot from the heat, then stir in the baking soda.
Pour the peanut mixture evenly onto the sheet pans.
Spread the peanut brittle to a ¼-inch layer.
Allow to cool, then break the brittle into pieces.
Serve, and enjoy!
