Ginny’s Blue Ribbon Peanut Brittle
The best way to do peanut brittle is on the stove top. This is the best recipe we’ve ever come across.
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups Gurley’s Raw Peanuts
- 2 tsp baking soda (make sure it’s fresh)
Instructions
- Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
- Put corn syrup, sugar, butter and salt in a 4-qt saucepan.
- Put on medium heat stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
- Add the peanuts (keep stirring constantly) and take mixture to 290° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda.
- Pour on prepared cookie sheet. Don’t spread too thin. This brittle is best when left at least ¼” thick.
- Let cool, break up and enjoy.
