Sweet And Spicy Peanut Brittles Recipes

SPICY PEANUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• Add the sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, vanilla, and cayenne a large stovetop pan.
• Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or a spatula just once to ensure that everything is incorporated.
• Cook the mixture at medium heat. If you see that some of the sugar is not dissolved, just push it down with a rubber spatula. But do not stir the mixture. If you must, you can just swirl the pan but it's best to just let it make a golden brown caramel.
• Cook the caramel until it is a golden brown color and it coats the back of a spoon without dripping off.
• Add the baking soda and stir in the peanuts. You'll need to do this step quickly as the baking soda will cause the mixture to really bubble up.
• Stir with a wooden spoon.
• Quickly pour onto the baking sheet and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

SWEET AND SPICY PEANUT BRITTLES

Steps:

• In a wide skillet, on moderate heat, add peanuts, water, sugar and bring it to boil stirring continuously till sugar crystallizes slightly and peanuts get crusty for about 10 minutes (That is sandy textured sugar coats the peanuts. This is very normal)
• Lower the heat and and continue stirring till the sugar melts again and starts coating the peanuts for about 5 to 8 minutes. I like my end product to be good amber or bronze colored. Be careful and see that the heat is not high which may burn the syrup or the peanuts.
• Right before they are done add vanilla extract and chile powder and stir until well coated.
• Transfer this to a greased baking sheet or parchment paper. Spread evenly with ladle or pressing it gently with back of greased tray.
• Let this cool down completely and break them into pieces of desired size.
• Sweet and Spicy Peanut Brittles are now ready. Serve and enjoy. You can store them in air tight container for up to 10 days.
