Two cups of white granulated sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Light Corn Syrup<\/strong>. One cup of light corn syrup. When we say &lsquo;light&rsquo; we mean light-colored, as in clear. We do not mean low calorie! Grab the clear corn syrup. Do not substitute, because the sugar structure of corn syrup is what makes the chemical reaction possible for brittle to be formed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>. One-half cup of water to help dissolve the sugar into the corn syrup. Do not skip this step.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peanuts<\/strong>. Two cups of roasted salted peanuts. Yes, we&rsquo;re cooking the peanuts in the sugar syrup but it&rsquo;s okay if they are pre-roasted. We&rsquo;re only adding 1\/4 teaspoon of salt to the final product so we&rsquo;re using salted peanuts. If you have non-roasted peanuts, toast them in a 350-degree oven for about 5 minutes until they smell toasty and let cool before use. If you only have unsalted peanuts, add an extra 1\/4 teaspoon of salt to this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. Two tablespoons of butter stirred in at the very end actually stops the cooking process and prevents overcooking. If this mixture overcooks, the sugar gets too hard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>. One and a half teaspoons of baking soda is exactly what makes this mixture fluffy and brittle-like! The acidic reactions aerates the mixture and creates bubble pockets that turns the molten sugar into brittle. It&rsquo;s magic!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. Two teaspoons of vanilla extract stirred in at the very end flavors the whole mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. One-quarter teaspoon of salt. Don&rsquo;t skip this step&ndash;it balances the sweetness in the whole dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-peanut-brittle\">How to Make Peanut Brittle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and have it ready on the side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6.jpg\" alt=\"White pot with water and granulated sugar in it.\" class=\"wp-image-78871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-6-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9.jpg\" alt=\"Adding nuts into a pot of light caramel sauce with thermometer on side of pan.\" class=\"wp-image-78873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-9-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a large deep stockpot.

Place it in air-tight containers as soon as it&rsquo;s all the way cool. It will stay crispy for up to 1 week as long as it&rsquo;s stored at room temperature. <strong>Do not put peanut brittle in the fridge!<\/strong> Refrigerators are moist and humid, and your brittle will become soft and gooey. Don&rsquo;t do it! Store peanut brittle in a dry, cool place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also freeze your peanut brittle in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Pack it between sheets of wax or parchment paper to keep it dry. I recommend storing it in glass containers so it doesn&rsquo;t get crushed in the freezer accidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recipe-tips-and-troubleshooting\">Recipe Tips and Troubleshooting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must follow candy making recipes exactly as written. The temperature requirements are not guidelines, they&rsquo;re mandatory for the sugar to reach the proper consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your peanut brittle final result is chewy, it&rsquo;s because it didn&rsquo;t reach 300-degrees. Sugar turns to the hard-crack, crispy stage at that temperature and no less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, the more common mistake when making peanut brittle is allowing it to get too hot. The minute the thermometer reaches 300-degrees, remove the pan from the burner, and very quickly add the remaining ingredients. The butter will help stop the cooking process the most. If you&rsquo;re slow about adding ingredients or the mixture sits too long, the peanuts will have a burnt taste. (Trust me, this happened to me when I was making the video for this recipe because I was trying to get the perfect shot, hah!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t miss my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/salted-almond-brittle-easy\/\">almond brittle recipe<\/a><\/span> also!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7.jpg\" alt=\"Stack of peanut brittle broken into pieces.\" class=\"wp-image-78899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-7-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Best Peanut Brittle Recipe\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"www.DessertForTwo.com\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-04-15\",\"recipeYield\":8,\"description\":\"Homemade peanut brittle from scratch just needs a thermometer and a few ingredients.\",\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-5-720x720.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-5-720x540.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-5-540x720.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-5-720x405.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/Peanut-Brittle-Recipe-5-735x1103.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"Candy\",\"recipeCuisine\":\"American\",\"prepTime\":\"PT15M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT25M\",\"performTime\":\"PT25M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT40M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"2 cups granulated sugar\",\"1 cup light corn syrup\",\"1\\\/2 cup water\",\"2 cups roasted salted peanuts\",\"2 tablespoons unsalted butter\",\"1 1\\\/2 teaspoons baking soda\",\"2 teaspoons vanilla extract\",\"1\\\/4 teaspoon salt\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and have ready on the side.\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper...\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/peanut-brittle\\\/#mv_create_925_1\"},{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a large deep stockpot.
