This super easy seven ingredient Peanut Brittle is made on the stove top in less than thirty minutes. It is absolutely delectable and makes for great holiday gift giving. I like to give it along with Party Worthy Eggnog Truffles and Chocolate Pecan Caramel Turtles as hostess gifts during the holidays!

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cups salted roasted peanuts
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened

How To Make peanut brittle

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Cover a baking sheet that has at least 1/2 inch rim with aluminum foil. Coat the aluminum foil with butter and place in the oven to warm
  • Step 2
    In a heavy 2.5 or more quart saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Attach a candy thermometer to side of pan. Bring contents to a boil stirring very frequently to dissolve the sugar. When you reach a boil add the roasted peanuts and continue cooking until the temperature reaches 300 degrees; stirring constantly.
  • Step 3
    Remove baking sheet from the oven. Immediately remove the peanut brittle from the heat and stir in the butter, baking soda and vanilla. Quickly pour in a circle or line and tilt to spread the peanut brittle. Allow to fully cool and harden.
