Peanut Brittle

I love peanut brittle. It's a tasty snack that is very simple to make and I figured I would share the recipe with you. You can substitute the peanuts for almonds or sunflower seeds or just about any nut you may fancy. It takes about a half hour to make and then some time for it to cool down so you can eat it.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup light corn syrup
2 tbsp butter
3/4 cup peanuts (or other nut/seed you want)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp water

Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper.

In deep skillet bring water, corn syrup, and sugar to a boil. (stir occasionally)

Once mixture has reached 250F add butter and peanuts and cook until light brown in color (roughly 290F). Remove from heat

Add baking soda, vanilla, salt, and water to brittle mixture and mix well.

Transfer mixture to prepared cookie sheet and spread evenly with a greased/buttered spatula

Let cool, break up and enjoy!
