I got this recipe from the Food TV network - it's delicious! I make to give as gifts for Christmas. Ingredients:
1/2 cup water |
2 cups sugar |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 cups peanuts (roasted, salted) |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup in a medium-size heavy saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat. After it boils, stir the mixture occasionally. Boil the mixture until it reaches 340°. The color should be deep golden brown.
3. Remove from the heat and, working quickly, stir in the cinnamon with a wooden spoon. Stir in the butter until melted, then the peanuts and baking soda.
4. Pour the mixture onto an oiled cookie sheet with sides and spread it out a bit with the back of a wooden spoon, to about 1/4-inch thickness (it may not fill the whole pan).
5. Let harden, uncovered, in a cool place, 30 to 45 minutes.
6. Once cool, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
