If you’d like to try making your own candy, this easy peanut brittle recipe is a perfect place to start. While “brittle” is the term for any combination of sugar and water that’s heated to the hard crack stage and cooled, it’s the addition of salty peanuts that makes this homemade peanut brittle recipe so addictively delicious.

1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar

BEST-EVER NUT BRITTLE RECIPE - TINA UJLAKI | FOOD & WINE
Tina Ujlaki adapted this crunchy, buttery, slightly salty brittle from a recipe by pastry chef Karen DeMasco of New York City's Craft. When her children were younger, Tina would make it as a holiday gift for their teachers. As she recalls, "Come November, I'd start getting these looks from teachers who were hoping for the brittle but too shy to ask me about it."

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

HOMEMADE PEANUT BRITTLE | SOUTHERN LIVING
According to Southern lore, peanut brittle originated by accident. Allegedly, a housewife was trying to make taffy, but added baking soda instead of cream of tartar. After realizing her innocent goof, she added some Georgia peanuts and was quite delighted by the outcome. In the league of iconic Southern candy—the likes of bourbon balls, divinity, and pralines—homemade peanut brittle is now as much a year-round favorite as a holiday delicacy.Sugar is one of the most finicky ingredients in brittle recipes, making a candy thermometer more than just a helpful recommendation. (No one likes burnt or sticky, bendy brittle.) When it comes to brittle, it's important to keep on stirring until the deed is fully done and cooling on a baking sheet. This holiday season, if you're not indulging in a festive slice of warm homemade pie or classic layer cake, this old-fashioned peanut brittle recipe will gladly handle that sugar hankering.
