When the sugar mixture reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit, or when you drop a little of it into cold water it forms pliable strands, add in 1 ½ cups unsalted roasted peanuts. Stir constantly for 7-10 more minutes until the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, or when dropped in water it forms brittle strands. Immediately remove from heat, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon baking soda, and stir until evenly combined. Pour the brittle onto the baking sheet and spread evenly.
