I love this recipe…so easy to follow & I love the fact that there’s a video. This was my first time making peanut brittle & there’s no need to try any other recipe.

The one part of your recipe that’s missing is the big pot of boiling water. And the advantage of having an assistant. When you add the baking soda the sugar/peanut mix nearly explodes, so you work real fast to get everything out onto the tilted baking sheet. After that you want to immediately fill your pot with boiling water and a few drops of dish detergent. Use a scrubbing stick to work it around. Then dump it out and repeat if necessary. It is an awful job trying to get cooled sugar syrup out of the pot, so do it immediately and keep it hot. You should boil about twice as much water as your pot holds.

Ps after the first time you make this recipe you might want to add more peanuts. Don’t overdo it, but you could add at least half a cup more.

I’ll have to try the heat gun one day! Sounds like it could be quite helpful. 🙂

This is my father-in-law’s FAVORITE recipe, and has been for years: every time he’s due for a treat, he always requests peanut brittle! I use an infrared heat gun thermometer for this (a gift from him, incidentally), and it works just as well as a candy thermometer does.

My family and friends love your recipe. One of my neighbors said she didn’t really like peanut brittle until she tried mine. Thank you so much for the great recipe.

Hi Davina! I don’t have a recipe for roasted peanuts so I can’t say for sure exactly how to make them at home, but almonds or walnuts will work. 🙂

Hello I’m Davina from Indonesia. How can I make lightly salted dry roasted peanuts? Can I subtitude roasted peanuts with almond or walnut or other nuts?

Came out so, so good! This was my second time making peanut brittle. The first time it came out very soft and chewy and stuck to EVERYTHING. I ended up having to just throw away the pan i used to make it. With this recipe it cracked perfectly, tasted delicious, and clean up was so much easier! Thanks for a great recipe!

I use this same recipe, but double it, using a pound of peanuts per batch. I never did learn to use a candy thermometer–my mom taught me using the spun thread method. It was ready to put the peanuts in when you got a decent thread hanging from the spoon you dangled over the pot. Then cooked the peanuts till they were reasonably tan. We also spread it out on buttered wide foil that is about 3 ft. long. We put a couple of bath towels on the table, and just before we pour the brittle we get a couple of cookie sheets (no sides) to put under the foil. (it keeps the brittle from hardening too fast while we are stretching it.) Put the pans back in the oven for the next batch.

We made 4 double batches, using your ingredients, and wonder how many pounds we have; besides the 4 pounds of peanuts we used a quart of corn syrup, 8 cups of sugar, and 1/4 pound of butter. A fun family activity!

My recipe is double this, and it works fine.

I love this recipe and so do my neighbors ! Now I need to take out a loan in order to buy a case of roasted peanuts. Lol Could I double the recipe or do you think by doing so would limit the time allowed for spreading the brittle apart.

Wow that’s crazy. If you heat it up just a little bit or not quite enough you are going to have issues. It’s not easy to do it without a thermometer, so that’s impressive.
