Steps

  • 1

    Heat oven to 200°F. Butter 2 cookie sheets, 15 1/2x12 inches, and keep warm in oven. Mix baking soda, 1 teaspoon water and the vanilla; reserve.

  • 2

    Mix sugar, 1 cup water and the corn syrup in 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 240°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of syrup dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water.

  • 3

    Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring constantly, to 300°F or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.) Immediately remove from heat. Quickly stir in baking soda mixture until light and foamy.

  • 4

    Pour half the candy mixture onto each cookie sheet; quickly spread about 1/4 inch thick. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store in covered container.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1

    The best trick for making ultra-thin brittle is the warm baking sheets, which will keep the candy fluid enough to allow you to spread it as thinly as you can.
  • tip 2

    Why use corn syrup and baking soda to make a brittle candy? Corn syrup helps insure that as the granulated sugar melts it won’t re-crystallize if there’s a chance of a rogue sugar crystal on the inside of the pan. The baking soda interacts with the sugar acids to create carbon dioxide (when the candy mixture foams up when the soda is stirred in), which produces the airy, lacy texture you see when you break a piece of peanut brittle.
  • tip 3

    Package up broken peanut brittle in cookie tins or wrapped up in candy cellophane for gifting during the holidays. Or large covered mason or French canning jars are nice, as they are reusable and keep out moisture, which can make any candy sticky.
  • tip 4

    Don’t let the call for using a candy thermometer deter you from making an addictive nut brittle. A good one is worth the investment and will guarantee your candy will be the right consistency after cooking, so once it cools it will have that brittle “snap”. If you’ve inherited a candy thermometer double-check to be sure it’s accurate by letting it stand in a pan of water and bringing it to a boil. It should read 212°F- and if not, note how many degrees you’ll need to add or subtract when you use it to check on a hot sugar syrup.
  • tip 5

    Roasted cashew halves or small whole almonds make equally delicious brittle candy, especially with a sprinkle of coarse salt at the end when the candy is spread out to cool.
  • tip 6

    Cooking Gluten Free? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.

More About This Recipe

  • Was the invention of peanut brittle just one of those happy kitchen accidents? We’ll probably never know, but some food historians are partial to the story that it was invented in 1890 by a southern woman who was trying to make peanut taffy, but mistakenly added baking soda instead of cream of tartar to her recipe. Instead of stringy, chewy taffy, she ended up with crunchy, nutty brittle, and she decided to replicate her “mistake” as her own version of a peanut brittle recipe. Whether or not you believe this story, you’ll have to admit that, accident or not, brittle is a delicious confection. While the peanut version is most popular in North American, the combination of sweet candy and salty nuts is enjoyed around the world. It’s known as pasteli in Greece, croquant in France and gachak or chikki in India. If you’re truly a peanut brittle fanatic, mark your calendar for January 26, which is National Peanut Brittle Day. And if you’d like to find more salty, sweet, crunchy and irresistible snacks, check out Betty's best snack recipes.

Peanut Brittle (2024)

FAQs

Why didn't my peanut brittle get hard? ›

The main reason why peanut brittle doesn't get hard and have the crunch we expect is because the sugar was not cooked long enough. The sugar needs to be cooked to what is called the hard crack stage, 300ºF.

How to make peanut brittle not sticky? ›

Baking soda releases bubbles into our candy (you can see this on a more extreme level in my honeycomb recipe, which uses 5x the amount of baking soda!). This makes the brittle more delicate, crisp, and less chewy, which ultimately makes it more snappy and less likely to obnoxiously stick to your teeth.

Can you use parchment paper when making peanut brittle? ›

You'll also want to prepare a baking sheet, with either a silicone mat or parchment paper. The mat/paper will help ensure the peanut brittle doesn't stick directly to pan once it has cooled.

Should you refrigerate peanut brittle? ›

To store: Store peanut brittle (once it's completely cooled) in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not refrigerate as the moisture from the fridge will cause the brittle to soften. Store for 6-8 weeks. To freeze: Peanut brittle can be frozen and stored up to 3 months.

How do you fix failed peanut brittle? ›

Why put baking soda in peanut brittle? ›

Baking soda is also very important at this stage since it reacts to the heat, creating carbon dioxide that aerates the caramel, enabling it to snap when someone bites into it rather than requiring them to gnaw at it until it breaks or pulls apart.

Can you overcook peanut brittle? ›

If you overcook the brittle, it could be bitter or burnt. If you undercook it, the brittle won't properly set and the end result will be sticky.

Why does my peanut brittle have bubbles? ›

As the sugar is cooking and begins turning amber in color it accumulates small amounts of acid, and that acid reacts chemically with the alkaline baking soda releasing about a zillion minuscule bubbles of CO2 that get trapped, making the sugar porous and, well… brittle.

Why did my peanut brittle crystallize? ›

Cooling down too quickly can prevent the candy from becoming hard. When candy cools slowly on a stone slab, more crystals have a chance to form. With a higher number of micro-crystals, the sugar has more sites on which to crystallize, and so crystallization ultimately happens faster.

How do you keep peanut brittle crispy? ›

#1 - Store in an airtight container

It should come as no surprise that storing your peanut brittle in airtight containers is one of the best ways to store peanut brittle. Keeping air out helps maintain your brittle's freshness by minimizing the amount of moisture that might come into contact with your sweet treat.

How can you tell when peanut brittle is done without a thermometer? ›

However, if you don't have a candy thermometer, it's still possible to make this sweet. All you have to do to find out if your peanut brittle is ready to be removed from the heat is to drop a bit of the syrup into cold water and see if it forms brittle strands. If so, you're ready to finish up your confection.

Does weather affect making peanut brittle? ›

I've learned that brittle is better when made on a cool, dry day. When I've made the candy on a warmer, humid day, it tends to be a stickier brittle. This is because the brittle takes longer to cool, and it reaches a point where it is no longer evaporating moisture into the air.

Why is my peanut brittle gooey? ›

What's important to know is that the corn syrup controls the grain of the brittle so adding too little and you have a grainy textured brittle, while adding too much will result in a stringy and sticky brittle.

Can peanut brittle go bad? ›

How Long Does Peanut Brittle Last? Properly stored (in an airtight container at room temperature), peanut brittle will last one to two months.

What's the difference between peanut brittle and praline? ›

Pralines have a lot in common with nut brittle, with the difference being mostly in the addition of cream and the cooking temperature––the sugary syrup used to coat pralines is heated to a soft-ball consistency, a lower temperature than the hard-crack stage of peanut brittle.

Why does peanut brittle get soft? ›

If your peanut brittle is too soft, you didn't cook it long enough.

How long does it take for brittle to harden? ›

How long does it take for peanut brittle to harden? This microwave peanut brittle starts to harden almost immediately once you finish cooking it and stirring in the baking soda. It will be completely hardened and ready to break into pieces in just 30 minutes.

Why did my peanut butter fudge not get hard? ›

Fudge Didn't Set

If your fudge turned out super sticky, or it didn't set as it cooled, it probably never got hot enough. This mistake is super easy to avoid if you use a candy thermometer and cook the fudge to the temperature specified in the recipe (usually between 234 and 239°F).
