Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups salted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir to combine, then place over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring, and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the unsalted butter, salted peanuts, and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
Step 5
Quickly stir in the Reese's Peanut Butter Chips and vanilla extract until the chips are melted and fully incorporated.
Step 6
Immediately pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread it into a thin, even layer with a greased spatula.
Step 7
Let the brittle cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes, until it hardens.
Step 8
Once fully cooled, break the brittle into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
