Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated erythritol
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup roasted unsalted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated erythritol and water. Stir to dissolve the erythritol completely.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring.

Step 4

Using a candy thermometer, cook the mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage, around 300°F (149°C). Be very attentive as the temperature can rise quickly past this point.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches 300°F, quickly remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and salt until completely melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Add the baking soda, stirring quickly to mix. The mixture will bubble up and become foamy.

Step 7

Immediately fold in the roasted, unsalted peanuts until they are evenly coated with the erythritol syrup.

Step 8

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature until it hardens, about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Once set, break the peanut brittle into pieces and store in an airtight container.
