2 cup sugar
½ cup of corn syrup
11/2 spoon baking soda
2 cup roasted salted peanuts
6 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup water
11/2 spoon vanilla

Then mix it well. In a saucepan or any suitable pan add sugar and water and then, stir it. After some time add the corn syrup to it and cook it on medium flame until it gets boiled. While cooking it, stir it. While stirring, place your candy thermometer at the edge of the pan and wait until it reaches 250o F. Make sure that the thermometer doesn’t touch the bottom part of the pan. Then, add peanuts to it and stir it in butter, baking soda, and vanilla. You will notice some changes in the texture of it. Then add this hot mixture to the prepared pan and spread it throughout and then allow it to cool down for 30minutes. Your peanut brittle is then ready and kept in an airtight container.
