CINDY HEALY'S PEANUT BRITTLE
I got this recipe from a friend (Cindy Healy) when I was a junior in high school (1977). I've been making it ever since. My dad loved this so much and I could always count on him making two batches...one peanut and one pistachio (that he loved). My dad has since passed, but I think about him every time this time of year and his sweet treat that I could count on eating when I visited at Christmas. He was so proud of this candy. One of my brothers prefers to use pine nuts. There is really no good reason you can't use your own preferred nut.

Steps:
- Butter a sheet cake pan and measure out the baking soda ready to use when needed.
- Measure sugars and peanuts into a medium saucepan. On medium to medium hot heat, stirring constantly....About 10 minutes....you can use a candy thermometer and go to 310F, or eye-ball it like I do and just let it get a pretty golden color.
- Take off the heat, add the baking soda and stir vigorously. It's going to bubble and foam like crazy. Immediately pour onto a buttered sheet cake pan and put in a cool place.
- When completely cool, gently bang onto a table top to create "shards" of brittle.

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.

Steps:
- 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.
- Add the peanuts, stir with a wooden spoon, then quickly and carefully tip onto the prepared tray. Immediately sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and leave to cool until set. Will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.
