Ingredients
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Peanuts
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add erythritol and stir until completely dissolved. Continue stirring while the mixture begins to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Once the mixture is bubbling and starting to change color slightly, lower the heat and add in the vanilla extract, followed by the peanuts and salt.
Step 5
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture turns a light golden brown — be careful not to let it burn.
Step 6
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. This will cause the mixture to foam slightly.
Step 7
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it quickly as thin as possible using a spatula.
Step 8
Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature until it hardens, which will take about 1 hour.
Step 9
Once hardened, break it into pieces and store in an airtight container.
