Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 226kcal

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Honey or light corn syrup
  • 1 cup Peanuts preferably salted peanuts
  • 1/2 tbsp Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 6 oz Semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8x8 baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil very well with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and Honey or light corn syrup, and place the pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then raise the heat to medium-high. Cook until it reaches 260 F (126 C) using a thermometer.
  • Then, add the peanuts, butter, and salt, and stir well. Turn the heat back down to medium.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until it reaches 295 F (146 C). Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The baking soda will cause the candy to foam up quite a bit.
    During the cooking process, it will develop a dark golden color and begin to smell like caramelizing sugar.
  • Quickly spread it into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a microwave, melt the chocolate in 30 second increments stirring after each time until smooth. Then spread over the peanut brittle.
  • Let cool completely before portioning.
