Karen’s Killer Fixin’s #Candy #Recipe: PEANUT BRITTLE from Karen’s Kitchen

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is PEANUT BRITTLE!

My father-in-law loved Peanut Brittle, as does my husband. I used to make this just for them. My FIL is gone, but I really need to remember to make this soon for my hubby. We’ve been working hard lately to eliminate sugars from our diet. But, it wouldn’t hurt to have a nice treat occasionally. Maybe for the next neighborhood party so we’re not eating it all by ourselves. LOL

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

PEANUT BRITTLE

2 cups sugar **
½ cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
2-1/4 cup Spanish style peanuts
1 tsp. butter
¼ tsp. baking soda

Stir sugar, syrup and water over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cook until temperature registers 240 degrees (about 15 minutes). Meanwhile, spread peanuts evenly over large, well-buttered cookie sheet. Cook syrup 10-15 minutes long or until it begins to turn a golden color. Mix in butter and soda. Pour immediately over peanuts.

** Can replace 2 cups white sugar with 1 cup white sugar plus 1 cup brown sugar.

Happy Eating!
