Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings; makes about 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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.
Working quickly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble up). Stir in the peanuts until evenly distributed amongst the sugar mixture.
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.

Time 20m

Yield 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter (I used salted since I did not have the sea salt)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces cashews or 12 ounces pecans, etc
fleur de sel (I did not have or use this) or crushed maldon sea salt (I did not have or use this)

Steps:

In large saucepan, combine sugar, water, butter and corn syrup and bring to boil.
Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel is light brown and registers 300°F on candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and carefully stir in baking soda. The mixture will bubble.
Stir in nuts, then immediately scrape the brittle onto a large rimmed, nonstick baking sheet.
Using the back of a large spoon (oil lightly if sticks), spread the brittle into a thin, even layer.
Sprinkle with salt.
Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Break brittle into large shards.
