How To Make grandma's peanut brittle

• Step 1
  Line a rimmed 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with a silicone mat or grease a baking sheet and place parchment paper - butter the paper. Transfer to a 170 degree F oven while making the brittle.
• Step 2
  In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add sugars, water, salt, and corn syrup.
• Step 3
  Using a wooden spoon, stir until nicely blended and the sugars are dissolved.
• Step 4
  Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, brushing the sides of the pot with water.
• Step 5
  Attach a candy thermometer on the side of the pot, making sure it’s submerged in the liquid and doesn’t touch the bottom of the saucepan.
• Step 6
  Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 250 degrees F, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Step 7
  Add butter and stir until melted.
• Step 8
  When the mixture reaches 280 degrees F, about 15 minutes, stir in the peanuts.
• Step 9
  Cook, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes or until the temperature reads between 305 degrees F to 310 degrees F.
• Step 10
  Remove from the heat and immediately add baking soda plus pure vanilla extract; stir vigorously – don’t overdo it.
• Step 11
  Without waiting, pour the mixture onto the warmed, prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread out the mixture evenly.
• Step 12
  Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Step 13
  Peel off the brittle from the silicone mat or the parchment paper and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for 4 weeks.
