📝 Preparation Steps
1
Measure out all ingredients and have close by ready to add.
2
Butter bottom and sides of a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet. Also butter the bottom of large spoon and set close by (you'll use this later for spreading brittle).
3
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Once preheated place baking sheet in oven, turn oven off and let baking sheet stay warm in oven. Remove baking sheet just barely before you are ready to use it to spread prepared brittle mixture over.
4
In a 3-quart heavy bottom saucepan whisk together sugar, corn syrup, and water.
5
Set over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
6
Once it reaches a boil carefully add butter and stir.
7
Let boil, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 310 degrees on a candy thermometer (don't forget to get your baking sheet out of oven and ready near the end). The mixture should just have turned a light golden brown color.
8
Immediately remove from heat once it reaches temperature (or just turn off heat if using a gas stove) and right away add baking soda, salt, and peanuts and give it about 5 quick stirs (it will foam and bubble up).
9
Immediately pour onto warm baking sheet and spread mixture out using greased spoon, spread as evenly as possible before it starts to harden.
10
Let cool completely at room temperature, about ⏱️ 30 minutes. Then break into pieces.
