Steps:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir together the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy/deep-fry thermometer. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue to boil until it's golden brown and it reaches 340 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
- Working quickly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble up). Stir in the peanuts until evenly distributed amongst the sugar mixture.
- Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth with a rubber spatula into a thin and even layer. Let harden uncovered at room temperature until cooled completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
EXCELLENT PEANUT BRITTLE
I went to a Holiday craft show four years ago. A very cute and sweet grandma was selling her peanut brittle and it was selling fast! She told me that if I wanted some I had better get it now! After buying a package and sampled it I fell in love! "It was just perfect". I asked her for the recipe and she wasn't shy about giving it...

Steps:
- Coat two 12-by-17-inch baking sheets with vegetable spray.
- In a heavy 5-quart saucepan with lid, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cover pot, and bring to a boil over high heat, about 5 minutes. Dissolve sugar by carefully swirling pot often over burner. Keeping lid on will prevent sugar crystals from forming; however, should crystals form, wash down sides of pot with a wet pastry brush.
- Once steam just begins to escape from pot, remove cover and reduce heat to medium. Insert candy thermometer, and continue to boil until temperature reaches 230 degrees (thread stage), about 1 minute.
- Add peanuts, stirring constantly with a metal spoon until mixture reaches 300 degrees (hard crack stage) and is a rich golden brown, 13 to 18 minutes.
- Immediately remove from heat, and quickly add butter, vanilla, and baking soda. Stir with a metal spoon until butter melts; mixture will become foamy. Pour half of mixture down center of each pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour.
- Turn brittle out of pan, and snap it into shards.

Steps:
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Melt the sugar in a medium frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins until caramelised - it should be a dark amber colour. Don't stir, as this causes the sugar to crystallise - instead, tilt the pan slowly so the sugar melts evenly.
- Add the peanuts, stir with a wooden spoon, then quickly and carefully tip onto the prepared tray. Immediately sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and leave to cool until set. Will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.

PEANUT BRITTLE
If you'd like to try making your own candy, this easy peanut brittle recipe is a perfect place to start. While "brittle" is the term for any combination of sugar and water that's heated to the hard crack stage and cooled, it's the addition of salty peanuts that makes this homemade peanut brittle recipe so addictively delicious.
