Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a 4-quart saucepan, combine sugar, water, and light corn syrup over medium heat; stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and insert a candy thermometer.
-
Cook the mixture to 260 F (126 C). Incorporate peanuts, butter, and 3/4 tsp salt, then reduce heat to medium.
-
Continue cooking and stirring to 295 F (146 C).
-
Remove the pan from heat immediately, then stir in vanilla.
-
Scrape the candy onto the prepared sheet and spread it into the thinnest possible layer.
-
Once pliable, stretch the brittle between your hands until as thin as possible, then cool completely.
-
Break the cooled brittle into small pieces for serving; store in an airtight container.
