I remember make it with mom now she is passed away and show my daughters one of her favorite candy she enjoy the recipe and tresure the memories that we did. Teach the how to cook candy maybe one day make iz for there kids.
My mom couldn't find peanut brittle in the stores right now. I made her some for Easter and I have made them 3 times since then. They are so good! Thank you for the recipe!
I just made this recipe and it was wonderful. I bought some brittle from st. Lawrence market in Toronto while traveling and got back to NY and finished them. I really wanted more, but the packed ones are hard to find or to pricey. I just got some honey roasted peanuts and followed your tutorial and BAM. Thankyou for this wonderful video ❤❤❤. Cute girl teaching peanut brittle. And it came out Excellent. 🙏🏾
I made this as a present for my uncle on Christmas (he loves peanut brittle). Everyone got to try some and they all loved it! They said it was amazing! Thanks! 😁😆
Jus made your brittle...this was my first time making peanut brittle. I followied ur directions and it came out perfectly!!! I cannot tell u how happy I was to find ur tutorial. Thx u soooooo much...next week I will be trying the candy coated pecans...plan to try several recipes...my friends and family are going to LOVE it.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the peanut brittle. You should be extra proud because candy can be tough! Sometimes it doesn’t turn out for me and I have no idea why. I hope you love everything you try. The candied pecans are a GREAT option. 😊
I like lots of peanuts so I added an extra half cup, also I buttered the pan and sprinkled it lightly with course sea salt before pouring it on the pan for a little extra salted caramel goodness. Turned out great!
Thank you for a brittles recipe. It's so nice the way you explain. I want to have this recipe for long time. I hope I can making. God bless you ones again. Thank you.
Thank you for this easy, not so intimidating recipe!! Will definitely be trying this. For some reason I thought actual peanut butter was part of the recipes but those look like just regular Planters peanuts
Ok To be honest it took me two tries!! Your advice to not rush and turn up the heat is so true 😮😢 🔥 Oh well, practice makes perfect 👍🏻 batch two turned out great 😊 Second batch
If you do not stir the sugar mixture you won't get crystals on the pan. You never have to actually stir it until you add peanuts and then the Vanilla and the butter.
My brittle comes from a 1908 Rumford baking powder cook book. 2 cups regular sugar. 1 teaspoon butter. 1 cup of nuts. Cook sugar over medium heat till it turns to a liquid, stir so as not to burn. Heat till 300 degrees then add the butter till melted. Pour in the nuts. Pour out on to buttered pan. Now my secret is I don't make it untill the outside temp is below 20 degrees. You don't want moisture in the air, makes it sticky. Then I put the pan directly on the snow or frozen ground..I've never told anybody about the way I make it before. Been making it for years and have a lot of requests every year. By the way it is not blond color but a dark amber color much Like a beer bottle...cheers.
You could break up the peanuts prior. If yours was a little darker it may have just been cooked a little bit quickly or maybe even heated just a slight bit too much, but as long as it still turned out that's the important thing. :)
Great recipe. Important fact, do not chop up peanuts to try to get a finer easier bite! The sugar syrup absorbed it leaving no syrup left but just a clump of peanuts 😢 Thought I should throw that there so the same mistake doesn’t happened. Made it once already peanuts whole and it’s delicious 😋
I am 61. For years my Mom would make this type of peanut brittle and sponge toffee. Mom also made peanut brittle that was dark brown and a different texture than the light brown brittle. I told my wife and kids and granddaughters that I would try to make some. I made it 30 to 40 yrs ago but I can't remember how. I seem to remember it needing brown sugar or yellow sugar and a different finish temp. Do you know what I might be thinking of? Thanks,
I just saw this in my peanut brittle search. It looks dark and very simple. No corn syrup or baking soda or vanilla. th-cam.com/video/BXQqZrp0VWY/w-d-xo.html
How’s it going guys I know very little about peanut Brittlemy wife’s been making it for a couple years now but yesterday her and her friend were making it and it overflowed and it wouldn’t stop overflowing I’ve seen it get very active around a certain temperature to where it rises and it rises until it cools but it can take a while. she tried to transfer it from pot to pot to try to contain it but both of them got burnt hands and so I’m trying to figure out what I could do to prevent something like this maybe a bigger pot safer gloves but even then it still overflowed and got on my stove which you guys know already it’s gonna be a pain to get out any help is appreciated
Hmm I'm not really sure what happened here. I would double check all of your ingredients and measurements, make sure to rewatch the video to make sure everything is going as it should and probably use a bigger pot.
The baking soda actually helps make it brittle and easy to snap. It's hard because of how it's cooked. Candy has a few stages that it can be cooked to, which will determine how hard the candy is. :)
I wouldn't really recommend it. I tested this a lot and found this to be the best way to do it. Candy can be tricky and adding in heavy cream could make it even more difficult.
I actually do have all of the ingredients in the descriptions if there is ever any question, but you only need 1/2 teaspoon. The more likely cause here is that it just wasn't cooked quite long enough. Candy can be tricky. I hope it works better next time. :)
Candy can be tricky. If it smells burnt it probably has been burned unfortunately. It could be chewy if there is a lot of humidity where you are baking. I hope it turns out for you. 😊
I enjoyed your video and going to try and make it, but I wish you wouldn't speak so fast. I had a hard time trying to write down the ingredients list and instructions when you kept talking too fast for me to jot notes.
I am sorry to hear it Katrina! I do offer the printable recipe so that you do not have to worry about writing it down. You will be able to find it in the description if that is helpful.
@@SugarSpunRun Aw that's sweet! I just thought you'd like to know it's hard to keep up with you. I kept watching you over and over til I got your recipe right. Thanks for your help to make it!! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.🎄♥️
Tried your oeanut brittle and it turned out super good
Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😃
I always wanted to try peanut brittle. What does it taste like?
@@O111e like a buttery salty peanut sugar w a hint of caramel taste to it. It has a slightly burnt sweet aroma smell.
@@O111e like heaven with a crunch.

Honestly, to me, it really tastes like your wife’s boo-tee-ho!!! 😂😂😂

Second batch
It can definitely be tricky, but I'm glad it turned out for you the second time. :)
I made it today and it's better than store-bought 😌 thank you 😊 🙏
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
If you do not stir the sugar mixture you won't get crystals on the pan. You never have to actually stir it until you add peanuts and then the Vanilla and the butter.
While that is true for some recipes, this is the method I have found to have the most success so it’s what I recommend. 😊
I agree; you should not stir it. I've been making candy for years and cooking caramel or candy it's important to leave it alone.
@@SugarSpunRun I make your recipe for brittle have done it 3 or 4 times.
My mom makes awesome peanut brittle
I lovvvveee some good peanut brittle. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun I could eat it till I pop lol
Awesome stuff thanks 😊
Looks so easy! Yummy
Thanks!
Looks so good! I was wondering if I could put some peanut butter in with it at the end. Maybe it wouldnt set up normal dunno
I would not recommend it.

That's an interesting method! I've never heard of it before. Thank you for sharing. :)
Great receipt and great instruction. Thanks cutie😉
thank you for this!!!
You're welcome! :)
Come out lovely, really loved it! Only question mine did not come out as light creamy colour as yours? Also can you break peanuts up prior?
You could break up the peanuts prior. If yours was a little darker it may have just been cooked a little bit quickly or maybe even heated just a slight bit too much, but as long as it still turned out that's the important thing. :)
I love watching you make your brittle, you are good at it and i wish you could make me some i would buy it and pay postage and handling
Love it
Thank you.
You're welcome! Enjoy! :)
I never use a thermometer. Mine comes out awesome.
You also don’t need that many tools or steps
Great recipe. Important fact, do not chop up peanuts to try to get a finer easier bite! The sugar syrup absorbed it leaving no syrup left but just a clump of peanuts 😢 Thought I should throw that there so the same mistake doesn’t happened. Made it once already peanuts whole and it’s delicious 😋
Can you use golden corn syrup instead of light?
Could I add some maple extract as well for more flavor?
You could try it. I would go light on it though because it's most likely much more potent than vanilla. I may even reduce the vanilla as well.
I am 61. For years my Mom would make this type of peanut brittle and sponge toffee. Mom also made peanut brittle that was dark brown and a different texture than the light brown brittle. I told my wife and kids and granddaughters that I would try to make some. I made it 30 to 40 yrs ago but I can't remember how. I seem to remember it needing brown sugar or yellow sugar and a different finish temp. Do you know what I might be thinking of? Thanks,
awoodworker there is a recipe that uses dark cane sugar, golden syrup and some water. That may be it. Just a different type of sugar.
I just saw this in my peanut brittle search. It looks dark and very simple. No corn syrup or baking soda or vanilla.

No

what does the baking soda do? .. and what makes the peanut brittle hard, is it the corn syrup?
The baking soda actually helps make it brittle and easy to snap. It's hard because of how it's cooked. Candy has a few stages that it can be cooked to, which will determine how hard the candy is. :)
Can heavy cream be added to this recipe to enrich the caramel flavour?
I wouldn't really recommend it. I tested this a lot and found this to be the best way to do it. Candy can be tricky and adding in heavy cream could make it even more difficult.
@@SugarSpunRun Noted, Most appreciated!!
I just made this recipe with pecans !
I hope you loved it! :)
Yum
Is pure cane sugar an option instead of granulated sugar?
Are you referring to an unrefined sugar? I do use cane sugar in this recipe. :)
@@SugarSpunRun No, I mean pure cane sugar. They sell it at every grocery store.
Do you let the peanut brittle cool in the refrigerator or on a tabletop?
Tabletop. :)
burnt myself multiple times but in the end it was worth it!
That’s not good! I’m glad you enjoyed it though. 😊
Can you use pecans or almonds?
I haven’t tried it here but I think it should work. 😊
Well Here I am again. With your 🥜 brittle and or your Toffee
Can the recipe be doubled?
Hi again, Kathy! Yes, both should double just fine 🙂
Yours looks epic 🤤
Thank you! 🤩
@@SugarSpunRun Noo problem, sweet chef lady!🙂
And all this time I thought peanut butter was part of the recipe !😋 🤣 😸
Common misconception :)
Thumbs up!!
👍👍👍
I followed the recipe but mine came out super sticky when you eat it. Any ideas why?
Oh no! If the candy was cooked to the proper temperature than this could be an issue with high humidity. Is it very humid where you are?
Why do you add water
Is it true that you are not supposed to spread the peanut brittle
As you can see in the video I use 2 forks to help spread mine out.
My brittle wasn’t brittle. Did you say ‘one HALF teaspoon of soda’ or ‘ one AND A HALF’?
I actually do have all of the ingredients in the descriptions if there is ever any question, but you only need 1/2 teaspoon. The more likely cause here is that it just wasn't cooked quite long enough. Candy can be tricky. I hope it works better next time. :)
It’s not coming out for me😢
First time it was a bit chewy
And the second time it smells burnt
Still waiting to see how it turns out
Candy can be tricky. If it smells burnt it probably has been burned unfortunately. It could be chewy if there is a lot of humidity where you are baking. I hope it turns out for you. 😊
Spun run? 🤔
what is the substitute for corn syrup
I believe golden syrup will work
Can u give us some?
Sorry I ate it all. :(
@@SugarSpunRun what about when u make something new
Are you married at all because Got Dayum guuuurl!! HAHA 😅😅
Dad won the Blue Ribbon at the State Fair
With his Brittle
Looks like 2-4 servings for me.
That’s not a 1/4tsp of salt tho
Oh?

You didn’t add enough baking soda, and pulling with forks is unnecessary.
Looks like it worked to me 🤷♀️
My friend bought some peanut brittle and let me have a bite right after I finished eating it she told me it had crackers in it:(:(:(
That's disappointing. You should make them so homemade peanut brittle so they really know what they are missing. :)
And ya dont put butter in peanut brittle to start with
My secret I found out a lot to do with temperatures.
No way that was a fourth of a teaspoon of salt in the video
I'm putting weed in it
I’m not sure how that will work but good luck!
@@SugarSpunRun weed butter
Shame on you
Why do you add so much exra ingredients?
Why not just sugar and peanuts?
It's already fattening enough without the extras.
Nope. Thats way toooooo thick and hard cant NO BODY I MEAN NO ONE CAN BEAT MY BRITTLE.. i will put MONEY on it.
So since yours is missing all the butter flavor I am just really confident mine will be better.
