    To make peanut brittle, first grease a baking sheet or pan with cooking spray or butter and set the pan aside.
    Combine sugar, light corn syrup, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to boil. Use a brush dipped in warm water to wash down any crystals that may have formed on the sides of the pan.
    Boil, without stirring, for 5 minutes or until a candy thermometer reaches 310 degrees. (Note to editors: Do not show a temperature on the thermometer.)
    The mixture should be a golden color at this point. (Note to editors: do not include the part where we dip the metal spoon into the mixture.)
    Add dry-roasted or shelled raw peanuts and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until all of the peanuts are coated. (The mixture should now be golden brown.)
    Remove from the heat, and stir in softened butter, baking soda, and vanilla. Don't
    over-stir this mixture. Once you stir in the baking soda, it will foam up. Immediately pour it in a thin layer onto the greased baking sheet and spreading the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon. You need to pour and spread it while it's still foamy because that's what gives the brittle its airy texture. Try to distribute the nuts as evenly as you can. .
    Let it stand about 5 minutes or until hardened.
    After it's hardened and is completely cool, break the brittle into pieces.

    Added note: I didn't have lite corn syrup as they don't have there where I live in Europe so I used the thicker glucose syrup and added some water and still worked great. So if you're using the thick version, I think you need to water it down a bit as it's just too thick to mix with the granulated sugar.

      Joseph Mauchline the saturated fat in meat is usually what's blocking cells ability to intake glucose. Extended high blood sugar is caused by eating meat.
      A healthy person who doesn't overeat does not get diabetes from sugar. People can lose weight only eating sugar. Do the research, stop lying.

      @@lightdark00 Diabetes can be caused by a simple untreated infection in the pancreas or a number of other things, I have never heard of eating meat as a main cause of causing diabetes. I would suspect you are a vegan. Veganism is a life choice and is more about principle than health. The human body is well equipped to consume meat.

    I make really good peanut brittle. Everyone tells me. My Peanut Brittle is Not Thin. i have found that most people like it thicker, as it is not as hard on your teeth. Also, my recipe called for mixing the Baking soda, the flavoring, and a little water in a small bowl, at the very start. Set aside. Then when it is time to add the Soda, Stir it a little. as it tends to settle. I think it mixes better when the Soda is not added dry. Use a Small greased cookie sheet, you will find that Thicker, not Thinner Peanut Brittle is preferred, as it is not as hard on your teeth.

      @@tanyajones3630 As I said, thicker Peanut Brittle is not as hard on teeth. Thiiner PB is much more brittle, so people who have had a lot of work done their teeth can say, it is much harder on teeth. The key to brittleness is thinness. So, maybe I should not call my PB Peanut Brittle. Maybe I should call it Peanut Crunch. I didn't notice your message until today. Thanks

      frederica broadney Hello sis, I think it works better if you don’t add water. I was also told to minimize stirring, and to mix the baking soda with the vanilla and a bit of water prior to cooking and set aside. When the recipe calls for adding the baking soda, make sure it’s evenly distributed and not settle in one spot.. the baking soda seems to be the key. Good luck 🌸😊🌸

      You have to cook/ boil the sugar mix untill it becomes the colour of honey. If not the mix will never harden.
      You could also add the nuts earlier. As in when the sugar begins to boil.
