How to cook Filipino style Peanut Brittle

Peanut Brittle Recipe, This peanut-flavored candy is surprisingly easy to make and yields huge portions for so little ingredients.

This Peanut Brittle has a delicious crunchy texture and sweet buttery flavor that melts in your mouth.  This Filipino sweet dessert uses the most basic Peanut Brittle  ingredients such as sugar, corn syrup, and peanuts.

• 1 cup water
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups shelled and roasted peanuts
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ¼ stick butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Materials Needed:

• Baking sheet
• Aluminum foil
• Spatula
• Containers

• Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan.
• Stir until the sugar is entirely moistened, then add the corn syrup and salt.
• Cook the candy over medium-high heat.
• At this point, add the peanuts and stir to combine.
• Continue to cook until mixture is vigorously boiling.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, baking soda, and peanut butter.
• Mix until well-combined, and then pour onto the prepared pan.
• Spread the candy as thin as possible with a spatula or spoon and cool it to dry at room temperature. Once it is entirely cool, break it into small pieces to serve.
• This yields 10 servings.
• Store the brittle in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature.

Tips: Stretch the candy as thin as possible to make a thinner brittle that is easier to eat. Don't forget, it takes less than a minute for the mixture to cool, so work fast.
