Ingredients:

For this recipe, you will need:

  • 2 cups of white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cups of roasted peanuts (unsalted)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda

Make sure to have all these ingredients ready before you begin making the peanut brittle.

Instructions:

Follow these steps to make peanut brittle without corn syrup:

  1. Mix the sugar, honey, and water in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring the mixture and let it come to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture. The target temperature is 300 degrees Fahrenheit or hard-crack stage.
    3. Hard Crack Stage
  3. While the sugar mixture is cooking, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Also, measure out the peanuts, butter, vanilla, salt, and baking soda and have them ready to add to the mixture.
  4. After the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat and add the butter, vanilla, salt, and peanuts. Stir quickly until the butter is melted and the peanuts are coated.
    5. Adding Butter And Peanuts To Sugar Mixture
  5. Add the baking soda and stir quickly until the mixture becomes light and frothy. The baking soda will react with the sugar mixture and create bubbles, so be careful not to overmix or the bubbles will pop.
    6. Baking Soda Reaction With Sugar Mixture
  6. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
    7. Cooling Peanut Brittle

Tips:

Here are some tips to make the perfect peanut brittle:

  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar mixture.
